A process cartridge includes an image bearing member, a brush, and a
supporting portion. The brush includes a base member having an elongated
plate shape that extends in the longitudinal direction, a brush member
including bristles provided on the front surface of the base member, and
mounting portions formed at both latitudinal ends of the base member. The
supporting portion includes holding portions that hold the mounting
portions formed at the both latitudinal ends of the base member, thereby
supporting the brush with respect to the image bearing member.
