Abstract:
A cartridge includes a photosensitive drum and a developing roller configured to develop an electrostatic latent image formed on the photosensitive drum. A first frame rotatably supports the photosensitive drum and a second frame rotatably supports the developing roller. A movable member is movable with respect to the second frame, with the movable member including a first force receiving surface and a second force receiving surface. The second frame is movable relative to the first frame between a contact position in which the developing roller is in contact with the photosensitive drum and a spaced position in which the developing roller is spaced from the photosensitive drum. The second force receiving surface is capable of being moved by the first force receiving surface between a first position and a second position, and the second frame is capable of being moved by the second force receiving surface from the contact position toward the spaced position.
