A process cartridge is detachably mountable to a main assembly of an
electrophotographic image forming apparatus. The main assembly includes a
motor, a gear receiving a driving force from the motor, a hole defined by
twisted surfaces substantially coaxial with the gear and having a
grounding contact. The cartridge includes an electrophotographic
photosensitive drum, and a projection engageable with the twisted
surfaces. The projection is provided at a longitudinal end of the drum.
When the gear rotates with the hole and projection engaged with each
other, a rotational driving force is transmitted from the gear to the
drum through engagement between the hole and the projection. The
cartridge also includes a grounding contact electrically connected with
the drum, for electrically grounding the drum when the cartridge is
mounted to the main assembly, and provided on the projection to be
electrically connectable with the main assembly grounding contact.
