Claim 15:
16. 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 clutch comprising:
a first drive transmission member capable of receiving a rotational force input to the clutch; and
a second drive transmission member capable of operably connecting to the first drive transmission member and outputting the rotational force from the clutch,

wherein the first drive transmission member and the second drive transmission member contact each other when the developing roller is in the first position to enable the second drive transmission member to receive the rotational force from the first drive transmission member, and
wherein the first drive transmission member and the second drive transmission member are separated from each other when the developing roller is in the second position in order to prevent the second drive transmission member from receiving the rotational force from the first drive transmission member.
