摘要:
A developing device for developing a latent image formed on an image bearing member by using developer, the developing device including: a developing frame; a developing roller for supplying developer to the latent image to develop the latent image; a developer layer regulating member which regulates a layer thickness of developer on a circumferential surface of the developing roller; and a first surface and a second surface which are provided in the developer layer regulating member along a longitudinal direction of the developer layer regulating member, for positioning the developer layer regulating member with respect to the developing frame, in which a first imaginary plane, which is obtained by extending the first surface imaginarily, and a second imaginary plane, which is obtained by extending the second surface imaginarily, intersect with each other.

A cartridge detachably mountable to an apparatus includes a drum, a developing roller, first and second frames supporting the drum and roller, a coupling member rotatably connecting the frames, a first cartridge positioning portion abuttable to a first main assembly positioning portion positioning the cartridge with respect to a direction crossing the drum axis when the cartridge is mounted to the apparatus, a drive input gear engaging a main assembly driving gear, and a second cartridge positioning portion abuttable to a second main assembly positioning portion limiting cartridge rotation about the first cartridge positioning portion. When the cartridge is in the apparatus, the coupling member crosses a phantom line perpendicular to the second main assembly positioning portion and which passes through the second positioning portion, as seen from one end with respect to the axis.
