    摘要: A process cartridge is detachably mountable to an electrophotographic image forming apparatus that includes a drum unit and a developing unit. The cartridge also includes a charging roller for charging a surface of a photosensitive drum by being urged and contacted to the photosensitive drum. The cartridge further includes a link engaged with an end of a rotation shaft of the charging roller, and a locking member locked with the link in a state that the charging roller is spaced from the drum for holding a spaced state of the charging roller from the drum. When the process cartridge is mounted to the apparatus, a space releasing member of the developing unit is moved by a driving force from a gear train through a connecting member, and the space releasing member releases locking between the link and the locking member, thereby ceasing the spaced state of the charging roller.

    摘要: A process cartridge is detachably mountable to a main assembly of an electrophotographic image forming apparatus. The process cartridge includes an electrophotographic photosensitive drum, a drum unit containing the electrophotographic photosensitive drum, a developing roller for developing an electrostatic latent image formed on the electrophotographic photosensitive drum, and a developing unit swingably supported by the drum unit and containing the developing roller. The process cartridge also includes an urging member for urging the drum unit and the developing unit to each other so as to press the developing roller against the electrophotographic photosensitive drum. A space keeping member keeps space between the electrophotographic photosensitive drum and the developing roller by engaging with the developing unit and limiting swing of the developing unit against an urging force of the urging member.
