PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a process cartridge capable of being replenished with developer and easily disassembled and assembled. ;SOLUTION: In the process cartridge A, which can be attached to/detached from an electrophotographic image forming device main body, the 2nd frame body 7 is made attachable/detachable to/from the 1st frame body 6 in a direction crossing with the shaft direction of an electrophotographic photoreceptor drum 1, so that the developer container 26 with which the developer is enclosed is housed in the developer housing part 7A of the 2nd frame body 7 after detaching the 2nd frame body 7 from the 1st frame body 6. Furthermore, by forming the container 26 of an air permeable sheet, the change of the internal pressure of the container caused by the change of temperature is restrained.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1998,JPO
