Claim 10:
11. A cartridge comprising:
a developing roller for developing a latent image on a photosensitive drum, the developing roller being movable relative to the photosensitive drum between (i) a first position in which the developing roller is positioned proximate to the photosensitive drum such that the developing roller can develop the latent image on the photosensitive drum, and (ii) a second position in which the developing roller is spaced apart from the photosensitive drum; and
a dog clutch comprising:
a first drive transmission member capable of receiving a rotational force; and
a second drive transmission member capable of receiving the rotational force from the first drive transmission member, the second drive transmission member being configured to transmit the rotational force to the developing roller when the second drive transmission member is engaged with the first drive transmission member,

wherein the first drive transmission member is engaged with the second drive transmission member when the developing roller is in the first position and is disengaged from the second drive transmission member when the developing roller is in the second position.
