PROJECT CARTRIDGE, TECHNOLOGICAL CARTRIDGE AND ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE FORMING DEVICE

摘要

1. A process cartridge (7) removably mounted in a main unit (100A) of an electrophotographic image forming apparatus including a drum connecting member (66), a developing connecting member (53) and a contacting member (85), said process cartridge comprising : (i) the photosensitive drum (1); (ii) the connecting part (1c) of the drum, provided near one axial end of the photosensitive drum, configured and positioned to engage I with a connecting element of a drum for perceiving a driving force for rotation of said photosensitive drum; (iii) a developing roller (25) configured and positioned for: (a) developing a latent electrostatic image formed on said photosensitive drum, and (b) rotating around its axis (25k); (iv) a developing connection part (48) provided adjacent to one axial end of said developing roller, wherein said developing connection part includes: (iv-i) a driving hour s (48a), provided near one axial end of said developing roller; and (iv-ii) an intermediate portion (48b) configured and positioned to (a) engage with said drive portion and (b) move relative to said drive portion in a direction (arrow G) transverse to the axis of said developing roller, while maintaining engagement the specified intermediate part with the specified drive part, (iv-iii) the drive part (48c), configured and positioned for: (a) meshing with the developing connecting element
