An electrophotographic image forming apparatus is usable with a process
cartridge having a photosensitive member. The apparatus includes a
transfer member contactable to the photosensitive member to transfer a
toner image from the photosensitive member thereonto, a tray carrying the
cartridge and movable between a contact position where the photosensitive
member contacts the transfer member and a spaced position spaced from the
transfer member, a supporting member supporting the tray for movement
parallel with a tangent line between the photosensitive member and the
transfer member between a first position positioning the tray at the
contact position and a second position retracted from the first position
away from the transfer member in a perpendicular direction perpendicular
to the photosensitive-member axial direction and to the tangent line to
position the tray at the spaced position; and engageable and engaging
portions engageable with each other. The engaging portion regulates
movement of the tray.
