A process cartridge is detachably mountable to a main assembly of an
electrophotographic image forming apparatus and which is transportable in
a state of being mounted to the main assembly of the apparatus. The
cartridge includes an electrophotographic photosensitive member, a
developing roller for developing an electrostatic latent image formed on
the member with a developer, a developer accommodating portion
accommodating the developer and having a developer supply opening for
permitting passage of the developer to supply the developer to the
roller, a sealing member unsealably sealing the opening and a grip
member, provided on the sealing member, for being gripped to unseal the
opening when the sealing member is removed from the opening. The grip
member is movable between a first position where the cartridge can move
to a predetermined position in the main assembly to permit transportation
of the cartridge when mounted to the main assembly, and a second position
where the cartridge is prevented from moving to the predetermined
position from the first position when the cartridge is dismounted from
the predetermined position.
