A process cartridge detachably mountable to a main assembly of an
electrophotographic image forming apparatus, includes a first frame; a
second frame coupled with the first frame for rotation about a shaft; an
electrophotographic photosensitive drum provided in the first frame; a
developing member, provided in the second frame, for developing an
electrostatic latent image formed on the photosensitive drum with a
developer; a developing member, provided in the second frame, for
developing an electrostatic latent image formed on the photosensitive drum
with a developer; an elastic member for applying an elastic force between
the first frame and the second frame to urge the developing member to the
photosensitive drum; a force receiving portion, provided downstream of the
shaft with respect to a mounting direction in which the process cartridge
is mounted to the main assembly of the image forming apparatus, for
receiving a force from the main assembly of the image forming apparatus to
keep the developing member away from the photosensitive drum when the
process cartridge is mounted to the main assembly of the image forming
apparatus; and a limiting portion for limiting upward movement of the
first frame.
