     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     In general, the present disclosure relates to a photosensitive body cartridge useable in an electrophotographic image forming apparatus. 
     In a known printer, the scraper roller may be configured to come into contact with and move away from the photosensitive drum. The scraper roller may be urged toward the photosensitive drum by an urging spring. With this configuration, while the scraper roller is allowed to move slightly away from the photosensitive drum, the photosensitive drum and the scraper roller are in contact with each other at all times. Nevertheless, due to slight movement of the scraper roller away from the photosensitive drum, a state of engagement of teeth of any two gears disposed between the drum gear and the scraper roller gear in the gear train may be changed. This may cause variation in the peripheral speed of the scraper roller relative to the photosensitive drum, whereby foreign matter adhering to the surface of the photosensitive drum might not be removed therefrom evenly. However, some embodiments of the disclosure address such issues by providing a drum cartridge in which cleaning is performed on a surface of a photosensitive drum with stability and certainty. In the drum cartridge according to some aspects of the disclosure, cleaning may be performed on the surface of the photosensitive drum with stably and certainty. Such features can be accomplished, for example, via use of a coupling provided between gears provided in the drum cartridge that accommodates such movement of a roller.

     The opening  16  is defined in a front end portion of the main body  12 . The opening  16  provides communication between the inside and the outside of the main body  12  in the front-rear direction to allow the process cartridge  13  to pass therethrough. 
     The front cover  17  is disposed at a front end of the main body  12 . The front cover  17  has a generally flat plate shape. The front cover  17  extends in the upper-lower direction and is supported by a front wall of the main body  12  so as to be pivotable on its lower end portion. The front cover  17  is configured to expose or close the opening  16 . 
     The sheet feed tray  18  is disposed at a bottom portion of the main body  12 . The sheet supply tray  27  is configured to accommodate therein one or more sheets P. 
     The sheet discharge tray  19  is defined at a front half portion of an upper wall of the main body  12 . The sheet discharge tray  19  is recessed relative to an upper surface of the main body  12  for supporting one or more sheets P thereon. 
     The process cartridge  13  is positioned at a substantially middle position of the main body  12  in the upper-lower direction. The process cartridge  13  is configured to be installed in and detached from the main body  12 . The process cartridge  13  includes the drum cartridge  1  and a developing cartridge  20 . 
     The developing cartridge  20  is attached to the drum cartridge  1  while being positioned in front of the photosensitive drum  2 . The developing cartridge  20  includes a developing roller  21 , a supply roller  22 , a layer thickness regulating blade  23 , and a toner container  24 . 
     The developing roller  21  is rotatably supported at a rear end portion of the developing cartridge  20 . The developing roller  21  has a generally cylindrical shape extending in the right-left direction. The developing roller  21  is in contact with a front surface of the photosensitive drum  2 . 
     The supply roller  22  is disposed in front of and below the developing roller  2 . The supply roller  22  has a generally cylindrical shape extending in the right-left direction and is rotatably supported by the developing cartridge  20 . The supply roller  22  is in contact with an lower-front surface of the developing roller  21 . 
     The layer thickness regulating blade  23  is disposed in front of and above the developing roller  21 . The layer thickness regulating blade  23  is in contact with an front surface of the developing roller  21 . 
     The toner container  24  is disposed in front of the supply roller  22  and the layer thickness regulating blade  23 . The toner container  24  is configured to store toner therein. 
     The scanner unit  14  is disposed above the process cartridge  13 . The scanner unit  14  is configured to emit a laser beam toward the photosensitive drum  2  based on image data. 
     The fixing unit  15  is disposed behind the process cartridge  13 . The fixing unit  15  includes a heating roller  26  and a pressing roller  27 . The pressing roller  27  is in pressure contact with a lower-rear surface of the heating roller  26 . 
     As the image forming apparatus  11  starts an image forming operation, the scorotron charger  3  charges a surface of the photosensitive drum  2  uniformly and the scanner unit  14  exposes the surface of the photosensitive drum  4  with a laser beam. Thus, an electrostatic latent image based on image data is formed on the surface of the photosensitive drum  2 . 
     The supply roller  22  supplies toner to the developing roller  21  from the toner container  24 . Meanwhile, toner is positively charged between the developing roller  21  and the supply roller  22  and is then carried by the developing roller  21 , and the layer-thickness regulating blade  23  regulates a layer thickness of toner carried by the developing roller  21 . 
     The developing roller  21  then supplies the toner carried thereon to the surface of the photosensitive drum  2 , i.e., the electrostatic latent image formed on the surface of the photosensitive drum  2 . Thus, the photosensitive drum  2  carries a toner image on the surface thereof. 
     Rollers rotate to convey sheets P, one by one, to between the photosensitive drum  2  and the transfer roller  4  at a predetermined timing from the sheet feed tray  18 . The transfer roller  4  transfers the toner image formed on the surface of the photosensitive drum  2  onto a sheet P while the sheet P passes between the photosensitive drum  2  and the transfer roller  4 . 
     Then, the heating roller  26  and the pressing roller  27  apply heat and pressure, respectively, to the sheet P to thermally fix the toner image transferred onto the sheet P while the sheet P passes therebetween. After the toner image is fixed on the sheet P, the sheet P is discharged onto the sheet discharge tray  19 . 
     The surfaces of the first and second rollers  6  and  7  are charged to positive potential that is higher than the potential of the surface of the photosensitive drum  2 . More specifically, the surfaces of the first and second rollers  6  and  7  are charged such that the surface of the second roller  7  has positive potential higher than the positive potential of the first roller  6 . 
     The first roller  6  removes paper dust from the surface of the photosensitive drum  2  when contacting the paper dust. That is, the first roller  6  cleans the surface of the photosensitive drum  2 . The second roller  7  then removes the paper dust from the first roller  6  when contacting the paper dust. 
     Thereafter, the sponge scraper  8  scrapes and removes the paper dust from the second roller  7  and the collected paper dust is stored in the storage  9 .

The handle  134  has a generally rectangular plate shape in rear view and extends in a direction perpendicular to a direction that the proximal portion  132  extends. 
     The release levers  116  are supported by the release-lever supporting bosses  63  of the rear wall  41  via the engagement holes  135 , respectively. This configuration enables the release levers  116  to pivot on the respective release-lever supporting bosses  63 . 
     More specifically, the pair of release levers  116  is pivotable between a first position and a second position. When the pair of release levers  113  is located at the first position, as depicted in  FIG. 4B , the handles  134  extend along a rear surface of the rear wall  41  and the hooks  133  are located above the second-roller-shaft pass-through portions  128  of the bearings  114  with being spaced apart therefrom. When the pair of release levers  113  is located at the second position, as depicted in  FIG. 5B , the handles  134  are located distant from the rear wall  41  and the hooks  133  are caught on the second-roller-shaft pass-through portions  128  of the bearings  114 , respectively. 
     As depicted in  FIG. 4B , when the pair of release levers  116  is located at the first position, the pair of bearings  114  is urged downwardly frontward by the pair of urging members  115  and thus the first roller  6  comes into contact with the upper rear surface of the photosensitive drum  2 . As depicted in  FIG. 5B , in response to the pivoting of the pair of release levers  116  from the first position to the second position, the pair of bearings  114  move upwardly rearward against the urging force of the pair of urging members  115  and thus the first roller  6  is separated from the photosensitive drum  2 . The pair of release levers  116  is located at the first position at all times as depicted in  FIG. 4B . 
     As depicted in  FIG. 7A , the first electrode  117  is disposed at a right end portion of the cleaning unit  5 . The first electrode  117  is made of conductive resin. The first electrode  117  is configured to supply first cleaning bias to the first roller  6  by establishing an electrical connection with a third apparatus electrode  193  of the main body  12 .

     The roller-shaft supporting portion  137  has a generally cylindrical shape with its right end closed. The roller-shaft supporting portion  137  has an inside diameter that is substantially the same as the diameter of the first-roller shaft  121 . 
     The contact portion  138  may be a drop-shaped hollow cylinder with its right end closed in side view. The contact portion  138  includes a curved portion  140 , a first straight portion  141 , and a second straight portion  142 . A portion that constitutes a lower peripheral surface of the contact portion  138  and has a semicircular shape in side view is defined as the curved portion  140 . A portion that constitutes a peripheral surface of the contact portion  138  and extends obliquely upward toward the rear from a front end of the curved portion  140  is defined as the first straight portion  141 . A portion that constitutes a peripheral surface of the contact portion  138  and extends obliquely upward toward the front from a rear end of the curved portion  140  is defined as the second straight portion  142 . The first straight portion  141  and the second straight portion  142  extend such that a distance therebetween becomes narrower toward their tips and their tips are in contact with each other. Therefore, the upper end of the first straight portion  141  is contiguous to the upper end of the second straight portion  142 . 
     The connecting plate  139  connects a lower right end portion of the roller-shaft supporting portion  137  and an upper left end portion of the contact portion  138 . The connecting plate  139  has a generally rectangular plate shape in side view. 
     As depicted in  FIGS. 7A and 7B , the first electrode  117  is disposed such that the roller-shaft supporting portion  137  receives a left end portion of the first-roller shaft  121  so as to be rotatable and the contact portion  138  is positioned in the first-electrode receiving portion  203  as depicted in  FIG. 4A . 
     The contact portion  138  of the first electrode  117  is disposed such that the contact portion  138  is positioned at a relatively lower position in the first-electrode receiving portion  203  when the pair of release levers  116  is located at the first position, i.e., when the first roller  6  is in contact with the upper rear surface of the photosensitive drum  2 . 
     In this state, the curved portion  140  of the first electrode  117  is in contact with a lower portion of an inner surface of the first-electrode receiving portion  203 , and the first straight portion  141  and the second straight portion  142  of the first electrode  117  are not in contact with any portion of the inner surface of the first-electrode receiving portion  203  and are spaced apart from the inner surface of the first-electrode receiving portion  203 . 
     During movement of the pair of release levers  116  from the first position to the second position, the contact portion  138  of the first electrode  117  moves upward in the first-electrode receiving portion  203  while slightly turning substantially clockwise in right side view. 
     When the pair of release levers  116  is located at the second position, i.e., when the first roller  6  is separated from the photosensitive drum  2 , the curved portion  140  of the first electrode  117  is in contact with a front portion of the inner surface of the first-electrode receiving portion  203 , and the first straight portion  141  and the second straight portion  142  of the first electrode  117  are not in contact with any portion of the inner surface of the first-electrode receiving portion  203  and are spaced apart from the inner surface of the first-electrode receiving portion  203 . 
     As described above, the first electrode  117  moves along the up-down direction in the first-electrode receiving portion  203  while slightly turning in side view in response to the movement of the pair of release levers  116  between the first position and the second position. That is, the first electrode  117  moves along a direction intersecting the direction that the first roller  6  moves, i.e., along a direction intersecting the extending direction while slightly turning. 
     As depicted in  FIG. 7A , the second electrode  118  is disposed at a right end portion of the cleaning unit  5  and in front of and below the first electrode  117 . The second electrode  118  is made of conductive resin. The second electrode  118  is configured to supply second cleaning bias to the second roller  7  by establishing an electrical connection with a fourth apparatus electrode  194  of the main body  12 . As depicted in  FIGS. 8A and 8B , the second electrode  118  includes a roller-shaft supporting portion  144 , a contact portion  145 , and a connecting plate  146 . 
     The roller-shaft supporting portion  144  has a generally cylindrical shape with its right end closed. The roller-shaft supporting portion  144  has an inside diameter that is substantially the same as the diameter of the second-roller shaft  124 . 
     The contact portion  145  may be a drop-shaped hollow cylinder with its right end closed in side view. The contact portion  145  includes a curved portion  147 , a first straight portion  148 , and a second straight portion  149 . A portion that constitutes a lower peripheral surface of the contact portion  145  and has a semicircular shape in side view is defined as the curved portion  147 . A portion that constitutes a peripheral surface of the contact portion  145  and extends obliquely upward toward the rear from a front end of the curved portion  147  is defined as the first straight portion  148 . A portion that constitutes a peripheral surface of the contact portion  145  and extends obliquely upward toward the front from a rear end of the curved portion  147  is defined as the second straight portion  149 . The first straight portion  148  and the second straight portion  149  extend such that a distance therebetween becomes narrower toward their tips and their tips are in contact with each other. Therefore, the upper end of the first straight portion  148  is contiguous to the upper end of the second straight portion  149 . 
     The connecting plate  146  connects a lower right end portion of the roller-shaft supporting portion  144  and an upper left end portion of the contact portion  145 . The connecting plate  146  has a generally rectangular plate shape in side view. The connecting plate  146  has a dimension in the up-down direction that is shorter than a dimension of the connecting plate  139  of the first electrode  117  in the up-down direction. 
     As depicted in  FIGS. 7A and 7B , the second electrode  118  is disposed such that the roller-shaft supporting portion  144  receives a left end portion of the second-roller shaft  124  so as to be rotatable and the contact portion  145  is positioned in the second-electrode receiving portion  202  as depicted in  FIG. 4A . 
     The contact portion  145  of the second electrode  118  is disposed such that the contact portion  145  is positioned at a relatively lower position in the second-electrode receiving portion  202  when the pair of release levers  116  is located at the first position, i.e., when the first roller  6  is in contact with the upper rear surface of the photosensitive drum  2 . 
     In this state, the curved portion  147  of the second electrode  118  is in contact with a lower portion of an inner surface of the second-electrode receiving groove  202 , and the first straight portion  148  and the second straight portion  149  of the second electrode  118  are not in contact with any portion of the inner surface of the second-electrode receiving portion  202  and are spaced apart from the inner surface of the second-electrode receiving groove  202 . 
     During movement of the pair of release levers  116  from the first position to the second position, i.e., during movement of the first roller  6  away from the photosensitive drum  2  and upwardly rearward movement of the second roller  7  along with the first roller  6 , the contact portion  145  of the second electrode  118  moves upward in the second-electrode receiving portion  202  while slightly turning substantially clockwise in right side view. 
     When the pair of release levers  116  is located at the second position, i.e., when the first roller  6  is separated from the photosensitive drum  2 , the curved portion  147  of the second electrode  118  is in contact with a front portion of the inner surface of the second-electrode receiving groove  202 , and the first straight portion  148  and the second straight portion  149  of the second electrode  118  are not in contact with any portion of the inner surface of the second-electrode receiving portion  202  and are spaced apart from the inner surface of the second-electrode receiving groove  202 . 
     As described above, the second electrode  118  moves along the up-down direction in the second-electrode receiving portion  202  while slightly turning in side view in response to the movement of the pair of release levers  116  between the first position and the second position. That is, the second electrode  118  moves along a direction intersecting the direction that the second roller  7  moves, i.e., along a direction intersecting the extending direction while slightly turning. 
     In other words, the second electrode  118  behaves substantially the same in the second-electrode receiving portion  202  as the first electrode  117  behaves in the first-electrode receiving portion  203 . 
     (5) Drive Unit 
     As depicted in  FIGS. 9 and 10 , the drive unit  32  is disposed at the left end of the drum cartridge  1 . The drive unit  32  includes a power transmission mechanism  150  and a gear holder  151 . 
     (5-1) Power Transmission Mechanism 
     The power transmission mechanism  150  is configured to transmit driving force to the photosensitive drum  2  and the first roller  6 . The driving force is inputted from a drive source (not depicted) of the main body  12  of the image forming apparatus  1 . The drive source is an example of an external drive source. The power transmission mechanism  150  includes the flange gear  94 , the drum gear  96 , a first idle gear  154 , the Oldham coupling  155 , a first roller gear  156 , and a transfer roller gear  157  (refer to  FIG. 6 ). The first roller gear  156  is an example of a first cleaning gear. 
     The flange gear  94  is supported by the left end portion of the drum body  83  so as not to be rotatable relative to the drum body  83 . As depicted in  FIG. 12 , the flange gear  94  is disposed to the right of the second portion  54  of the rear portion  51  of the left sidewall  39  of the base frame  35 . 
     As depicted in  FIGS. 6 and 12 , the drum gear  96  is fitted to the flange gear  94  so as not to be rotatable relatively. The drum gear  96  is interposed between the first portion  53  and the second portion  54  of the rear portion  51  of the left sidewall  39  of the base frame  35  in the right-left direction. A lower rear portion of the drum gear  96  is exposed from the drum frame  31  and meshes with a drive gear (not depicted) of the main body  12 . This configuration enables transmission of driving force from the drive source (not depicted) to the drum gear  96  via the drive gear (not depicted) of the main body  12 . That is, the drum gear  96  is configured to input driving force transmitted from the drive source (not depicted) of the main body  12  to the photosensitive drum  2 . The drum gear  96  rotates counterclockwise in right side view as depicted in  FIG. 11A .

     As depicted in  FIGS. 9 and 10 , the Oldham coupling  155  includes a larger-diameter hub  160 , a smaller-diameter hub  161 , and a slider  162 . 
     The larger-diameter hub  160  constitutes a left portion of the Oldham coupling  155 . The larger-diameter hub  160  includes a second idle gear  164 , a closed portion  165 , and a projection  166 , which are integrated with each other. The larger-diameter hub  160  further has a through hole  167 . The second idle gear  164  is an example of a third intermediate gear. 
     The second idle gear  164  has a generally cylindrical shape extending in the right-left direction. The second idle gear  164  has a diameter that is smaller than an outside diameter of the drum gear  96  and is larger than an outside diameter of the first idle gear  154 . A front portion of the second idle gear  164  meshes with a rear portion of the first idle gear  154  as depicted in  FIGS. 11A and 11B . The second idle gear  164  rotates counterclockwise in right side view as depicted in  FIG. 11A . 
     As depicted in  FIGS. 9 and 10 , the closed portion  165  has a generally disc shape in side view and closes a left end of the second idle gear  164 . 
     As depicted in  FIG. 10 , the projection  166  protrudes rightward from a right surface of the closed portion  165  and extends along a diametric direction of the closed portion  165 . 
     As depicted in  FIGS. 9 and 10 , the through hole  167  penetrates through substantially centers of the closed portion  165  and the projection  166  in side view. The through hole  167  has a generally circular shape in side view. 
     The smaller-diameter hub  161  constitutes a right portion of the Oldham coupling  155 . The smaller-diameter hub  161  includes a second roller gear  168 , a disc portion  169 , and a projection  170 , which are integrated with each other. The second roller gear  168  is an example of a second cleaning gear. 
     The second roller gear  168  constitutes a right portion of the smaller-diameter hub  161 , and has a generally cylindrical shape extending in the right-left direction. The second roller gear  168  has a diameter that is smaller than a diameter of the second idle gear  164 . The second roller gear  168  is attached to the left end portion of the second-roller shaft  124  so as not to be rotatable relatively. That is, the second roller gear  168  is configured to input driving force to the second roller  7 . The driving force is transmitted from the drive source (not depicted) of the main body  12 . 
     The disc portion  169  constitutes a substantially middle portion of the second roller gear  168  in the right-left direction. The disc portion  169  is disposed to the left of the second roller gear  168  adjacently. The disc portion  169  is coaxial with the second roller gear  168 . The disc portion  169  has a diameter that is larger than a diameter of the second roller gear  168  and is smaller than the diameter of the second idle gear  164 . 
     The projection  170  constitutes a right portion of the second roller gear  168 . The projection  170  protrudes leftward from a left surface of the disc portion  169  and extends in a diametric direction of the disc portion  169 . 
     The slider  162  is interposed between the larger-diameter hub  160  and the smaller-diameter hub  161 . The slider  162  has a generally cylindrical shape extending in the right-left direction. The slider  162  has a first groove  172  and a second groove  173 . 
     The first groove  172  is recessed rightward relative to a left surface of the slider  162  and extends along a diametric direction of the slider  162 . The first groove  172  has a width that is slightly wider than a width of the projection  166  of the larger-diameter hub  160 . 
     The second groove  173  is recessed leftward relative to a right surface of the slider  162  and extends along the diametric direction of the slider  162 . The second groove  173  has a width that is slightly wider than a width of the projection  170  of the smaller-diameter hub  161 . The second groove  173  extends in a direction perpendicular to a direction that the first groove  172  extends as viewed in the right-left direction. 
     The first groove  172  of the slider  162  receives therein the projection  166  of the larger-diameter hub  160  and the second groove  173  of the slider  162  receives therein the projection  170  of the smaller-diameter hub  161 , thereby constituting the Oldham coupling  155 . That is, the Oldham coupling  155  includes the second idle gear  164  and the second roller gear  168 . 
     With this configuration, the slider  162  slides relative to the projection  166  of the larger-diameter hub  160  and the projection  170  of the smaller-diameter hub  161 , whereby the second idle gear  164  and the second roller gear  168  rotate interlocked with each other even when their rotating axes are deviated. Thus, driving force inputted into the second idle gear  164  is surely transmitted to the second roller gear  168 . As depicted in  FIG. 11A , the second roller gear  168  rotates counterclockwise in right side view in a similar manner to the second idle gear  164 . 
     The Oldham coupling  155  is disposed such that the Oldham coupling  155  extends across the inside and the outside of the first accommodating portion  204  of the drum frame  31  via the opening  200 . 
     As depicted in  FIGS. 10 and 11B , the first roller gear  156  has a generally cylindrical shape extending in the right-left direction. The first roller gear  156  has a diameter that is larger than the diameter of the second roller gear  168 . The first roller gear  156  is attached to the left end portion of the first-roller shaft  121  so as not to be rotatable relatively. As depicted in  FIGS. 11A and 11B , the first roller gear  156  is disposed between the drum gear  96  and the Oldham coupling  155  in the extending direction. An upper front portion of the first roller gear  156  overlaps a lower rear portion of the first idle gear  154  as viewed in the right-left direction. An upper rear portion of the first roller gear  156  meshes with a lower front portion of the second roller gear  168 . That is, the first roller gear  156  is configured to input driving force, which is transmitted from the drive source of the main body  12 , to the first roller  6 . As depicted in  FIG. 11A , the first roller gear  156  rotates clockwise in right side view. 
     As depicted in  FIG. 6 , the transfer roller gear  157  is disposed at a left end portion of the transfer roller  4 . The transfer roller gear  157  has a generally cylindrical shape extending in the right-left direction. An upper portion of the transfer roller gear  157  meshes with a lower portion of the flange gear  94 . 
     (5-2) Gear Holder 
     As depicted in  FIGS. 9 and 10 , the gear holder  151  is a separate part from the drum frame  31 . The gear holder  151  is disposed to the left of the power transmission mechanism  150  in the drive unit  32 . The gear holder  151  has a generally rectangular plate shape in side view. The gear holder  151  is made of, for example, resin material, e.g., acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (“ABS”), or metal. The material, e.g., polyacetal resin (“POM”), used for the gear holder  151  has higher heat resistance and higher abrasion resistance to the material used for the second left flange  92  than the material, e.g., polystyrene (“PS”), used for the base frame  35 . The gear holder  151  includes a drum-shaft supporting portion  176 , a first-idle-gear supporting portion  177 , a larger-diameter-hub supporting portion  178 , a first hook  179 , and a second hook  180 . The gear holder  151  further has a first boss hole  181  and a second boss hole  182 . 
     The drum-shaft supporting portion  176  protrudes rightward from the right surface of the gear holder  151  at a lower front portion of the gear holder  151 . The drum-shaft supporting portion  176  has a generally cylindrical shape. The drum-shaft supporting portion  176  has an outside diameter that is substantially the same diameter of the larger-diameter through hole  56  in the left sidewall  39  of the base frame  35 . The drum-shaft supporting portion  176  has an inside diameter that is substantially the same as the diameter of the drum shaft  86 . 
     The first-idle-gear supporting portion  177  is disposed at a substantially middle portion of the gear holder  151  in the front-rear direction and above and behind the drum-shaft supporting portion  176 . The first-idle-gear supporting portion  177  protrudes rightward from the right surface of the gear holder  151  and has a generally cylindrical shape. The drum-shaft supporting portion  176  has a diameter that is substantially the same as an inside diameter of the first idle gear  154 . 
     The larger-diameter-hub supporting portion  178  is disposed at the rear portion of the gear holder  151  and at a substantially middle portion of the gear holder  151  in the front-rear direction. The larger-diameter-hub supporting portion  178  is further disposed behind and below the first-idle-gear supporting portion  177 . The larger-diameter-hub supporting portion  178  protrudes rightward from the right surface of the gear holder  151  and has a generally cylindrical shape. The larger-diameter-hub supporting portion  178  has a diameter that is substantially the same as a diameter of the through hole  167  of the larger-diameter hub  160 . 
     The first hook  179  is disposed at a lower rear end portion of the gear holder  151  and behind and below the larger-diameter-hub supporting portion  178 . The first hook  179  protrudes rightward from the right surface of the gear holder  151 . The first hook  179  is bent at a particular portion and further extends rearward. 
     The second hook  180  is disposed at a substantially middle portion of the gear holder  151  in the front-rear direction. The second hook  180  is further disposed behind and above the first-idle-gear supporting portion  177  and in front of and above the larger-diameter-hub supporting portion  178 . The second hook  180  protrudes rightward from the right surface of the gear holder  151 . The second hook  180  is bent at a particular portion and further extends upward. 
     The first boss hole  181  is defined in an upper rear end portion of the gear holder  151 . The first boss hole  181  penetrates through the gear holder  151  and has an oval shape in side view. 
     The second boss hole  182  is defined in an upper front end portion of the gear holder  151 . The second boss hole  182  penetrates through the gear holder  151  and has a circular shape in side view. 
     The wire-cleaner retaining portion  183  is disposed at an upper end portion of the gear holder  151  and between the second boss hole  182  and the first-idle-gear supporting portion  177 . The wire-cleaner retaining portion  183  has a generally rectangular shape in side view and includes an opening that penetrates through the gear holder  151 . 
     The gear holder  151  is attached to the drum frame  31  from the left and covers the power transmission mechanism  150 . 
     More specifically, the gear holder  151  supports the first idle gear  154  and the larger-diameter hub  160  including the second idle gear  164  while the first-idle-gear supporting portion  177  penetrates through the first idle gear  154  and the larger-diameter-hub supporting portion  178  penetrates through the through hole  167  of the larger-diameter hub  160  of the Oldham coupling  155 . 
     The drum-shaft supporting portion  176  receives the drum shaft  86  of the photosensitive drum  2  while passing through the larger-diameter through hole  56  of the left sidewall  39  of the base frame  35 . 
     A left end surface of the drum-shaft supporting portion  176  is flush with the right surface of the first portion  53  of the rear portion  51 . Thus, the left end surface of the drum-shaft supporting portion  176  contacts a left end surface of the smaller-diameter cylindrical portion  99  of the second left flange  92  of the bearing member  85 . 
     The first boss hole  181  receives the first positioning boss  73  of the left sidewall  66  of the cover frame  36  and the second boss hole  182  receives the second positioning boss  74  of the left sidewall  66  of the cover frame  36 , thereby positioning the gear holder  151  with respect to the drum frame  31 . 
     The first hook  179  is caught on the first retaining portion  57  of the second portion  54  of the rear portion  51  of the left sidewall  39  and the second hook  180  is caught on the second retaining portion  80  of the rear portion  78  of the top wall  67  of the cover frame  36 . That is, the gear holder  151  connects the base frame  35  and the cover frame  36  with each other. 
     As described above, the gear holder  151  is assembled to the drum frame  31  while protecting the power transmission mechanism  150 . 
     As depicted in  FIG. 6 , a lower portion of the gear holder  151  overlaps an upper portion of the left sidewall  39  as viewed in the right-left direction. 
     When the wire cleaner  103  of the scorotron charger  3  is located at a left end portion of the charger supporting portion  77 , the protrusion  107  of the wire cleaner  103  is in engagement with the wire-cleaner retaining portion  183 . 
     With this configuration, the position of the wire cleaner  103  is fixed while the wire cleaner  103  is not used. 
     (5-3) Transmission of Driving Force from Drive Source 
     As depicted in  FIGS. 11A and 11B , as driving force is transmitted to the drum gear  96  from the drive gear (not depicted) of the main body  12 , the drum gear  96  rotates counterclockwise in right side view. The drum gear  96  thus transmits the driving force to the first idle gear  154 . 
     As the driving force is transmitted to the first idle gear  154  from the drum gear  96 , the first idle gear  154  rotates clockwise in right side view. The first idle gear  154  thus transmits the driving force to the second idle gear  164  of the larger-diameter hub  160  of the Oldham coupling  155 . 
     In the Oldham coupling  155 , as the driving force is transmitted to the second idle gear  164  of the larger-diameter hub  160  from the first idle gear  154 , the larger-diameter hub  160  rotates counterclockwise in right side view. The larger-diameter hub  160  thus transmits the driving force to the smaller-diameter hub  161  via the slider  162 . 
     As the driving force is transmitted to the smaller-diameter hub  161  from the larger-diameter hub  160 , the second roller gear  168  of the smaller-diameter hub  161  rotates counterclockwise in right side view in a similar manner to the second idle gear  164 . The second roller gear  168  of the smaller-diameter hub  161  thus transmits the driving force to the first roller gear  156 . 
     As the driving force is transmitted to the first roller gear  156  from the first roller gear  156 , the first roller gear  156  rotates clockwise in right side view. 
     Thus, the photosensitive drum  2 , which is configured to rotate in response to input of driving force to the drum gear  96 , rotates counterclockwise in right side view and the first roller  6 , which is configured to rotate clockwise in right side view in response to input of driving force to the first roller gear  156 , rotates clockwise in right side view. That is, the photosensitive drum  2  and the first roller  6  rotate in the same direction at their contacting point. 
     As described above, the number of rotations of the first roller gear  156  with respect to the number of rotations of the drum gear  96  is reduced via the first idle gear  154 , the second idle gear  164 , and the second roller gear  168  of the power transmission mechanism  150 . Thus, a ratio of a peripheral speed of the first roller  6  relative to the photosensitive drum  2  becomes approximately 0.3. In other words, the first idle gear  154 , the second idle gear  164 , and the second roller gear  168  constitute a reduction mechanism. 
     The photosensitive drum  2  rotates while being pressed toward the left. Therefore, the left end surface of the smaller-diameter cylindrical portion  99  of the photosensitive drum  2  is rubbed against the right end surface of the drum-shaft supporting portion  176  of the power transmission mechanism  150 . 
     As described above, the smaller-diameter cylindrical portion  99  of the second left flange  92  is made of polyacetal resin (“POM”) and the drum-shaft supporting portion  176  of the gear holder  151  is made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (“ABS”). The smaller-diameter cylindrical portion  99  of the second left flange  92  is made of polyacetal resin (“POM”) and the left sidewall  39  of the base frame  35  of the drum frame  31  is made of polystyrene (“PS”). A threshold value that the rubbing surfaces of the smaller-diameter cylindrical portion  99  and the drum-shaft supporting portion  176  deform or melt due to heat generated by friction is higher than a threshold value that the rubbing surfaces of the smaller-diameter cylindrical portion  99  of the second left flange  92  and the left sidewall  39  of the base frame  35  of the drum frame  31  deform or melt due to heat generated by friction.

     5. Installation and Removal of Drum Cartridge with Respect to Main Body of Image Forming Apparatus 
     A procedure to install the drum cartridge  1  to the main body  12  of the image forming apparatus  1  will be described. 
     In order to install the drum cartridge  1  to the main body  12 , as a first step, as depicted in  FIG. 2 , an operator positions the developing cartridge  20  in the second accommodating portion  205  of the drum cartridge  1  to assemble the process cartridge  13 . 
     Then, the operator opens the front cover  17  and inserts the process cartridge  13  into the main body  12  via the opening  16  from an upper front position with respect to the main body  12 . 
     In response to this, as depicted in  FIG. 13A , the first apparatus electrode  191  moves upwardly frontward relative to the drum cartridge  1  so as to be situated below the grid electrode  105  while sliding over the right surface of the right sidewall  65  of the cover frame  36 . 
     Further, the second apparatus electrode  192  moves upwardly frontward relative to the drum cartridge  1  so as to be situated behind the curved portion  147  of the contact portion  145  of the second electrode  118  while sliding over the right surface of the right sidewall  38  of the base frame  35  and the right surface of the right sidewall  65  of the cover frame  36 . 
     Meanwhile, the third apparatus electrode  193  and the fourth apparatus electrode  194  are not in contact with the right sidewall  38  and are situated behind the drum cartridge  1 . 
     Then, the operator further inserts the process cartridge  13  into the main body  12 . In response to this, as depicted in  FIG. 13B , the first apparatus electrode  191  moves upwardly frontward relative to the drum cartridge  1  so as to be situated behind the grid electrode  105  while sliding over the right surface of the right sidewall  65  of the cover frame  36 . 
     Further, the second apparatus electrode  192  overrides the contact portion  145  of the second electrode  118  from the curved portion  147  and further moves upwardly frontward relative to the drum cartridge  1  so as to be situated on the right surface of the contact portion  145  of the second electrode  118  while sliding over the contact portion  145  of the second electrode  118 . 
     The third apparatus electrode  193  moves upwardly frontward relative to the drum cartridge  1  so as to be situated at a lower rear end portion of the right sidewall  38  of the base frame  35  while sliding over the right surface of the right sidewall  38  of the base frame  35 . 
     Meanwhile, the fourth apparatus electrode  194  is not in contact with the right sidewall  38  and is situated behind the drum cartridge  1 . 
     The operator further inserts the process cartridge  13  into the main body  12 . In response to this, as depicted in  FIG. 14A , the first apparatus electrode  191  moves upwardly frontward relative to the drum cartridge  1  so as to be situated behind the charger electrode  104  while sliding over the right surface of the right sidewall  65  of the cover frame  36 . 
     The second apparatus electrode  192  crosses the contact portion  145  of the second electrode  118  and further moves upwardly frontward relative to the drum cartridge  1  so as to be situated behind the grid electrode  105  while sliding over the right surface of the right sidewall  65  of the cover frame  36 . 
     The third apparatus electrode  193  moves upwardly frontward relative to the drum cartridge  1  so as to be situated behind the curved portion  140  of the contact portion  138  of the first electrode  117  while sliding over the right surface of the right sidewall  38  of the base frame  35 . 
     The fourth apparatus electrode  194  moves upwardly frontward relative to the drum cartridge  1  so as to be situated behind the curved portion  147  of the contact portion  145  of the second electrode  118  while sliding over the right surface of the right sidewall  38  of the base frame  35  and the right surface of the right sidewall  65  of the cover frame  36 . 
     The operator further inserts the process cartridge  13  into the main body  12 . In response to this, as depicted in  FIG. 14B , the first apparatus electrode  191  moves upwardly frontward relative to the drum cartridge  1  while sliding over the right surface of the right sidewall  65  of the cover frame  36 . When the process cartridge  13  reaches the particular position, the first apparatus electrode  191  comes into contact with the charger electrode  104  from the right. 
     The second apparatus electrode  192  moves upwardly frontward relative to the drum cartridge  1  while sliding over the right surface of the right sidewall  65  of the cover frame  36 . When the process cartridge  13  reaches the particular position, the second apparatus electrode  192  comes into contact with the grid electrode  105  from the right. 
     The third apparatus electrode  193  overrides the contact portion  138  of first electrode  117  from the curved portion  140  and further moves upwardly frontward relative to the drum cartridge  1  while sliding over the contact portion  138  of first electrode  117 . When the process cartridge  13  reaches the particular position, the third apparatus electrode  193  comes into contact with the contact portion  138  of the first electrode  117  from the right. 
     The fourth apparatus electrode  194  overrides the contact portion  145  of the second electrode  118  from the curved portion  147  and further moves upwardly frontward relative to the drum cartridge  1  while sliding over the contact portion  145  of the second electrode  118 . When the process cartridge  13  reaches the particular position, the fourth apparatus electrode  194  comes into contact with the contact portion  145  of the second electrode  118  from the right. 
     Through the above-described procedure, the installation of the process cartridge  13  in the main body  12  is completed. 
     In order to remove the drum cartridge  1  from the main body  12 , the installation procedure is performed in reverse. 
     More specifically, as depicted in  FIG. 2 , the operator opens the front cover  17  and pulls the process cartridge  13  to the upper front position with respect to the main body  12  via the opening  16 . The operator then detaches the developing cartridge  20  from the process cartridge  13 . Thus, the removal of the drum cartridge  1  from the main body  12  is completed. 
     6. Effects 
     (1) According to the drum cartridge  1 , as depicted in  FIGS. 11A and 11B , driving force transmitted to the drum gear  96  from the drive source of the main body  12  is further transmitted to the first roller gear  156  via the first idle gear  154  and the Oldham coupling  155 . With this configuration, a ratio of the peripheral speed of the first roller  6  relative to the photosensitive drum  2  may be widely changed. 
     According to the above-described embodiment, the Oldham coupling  155  is provided for transmitting driving force from the first idle gear  154  to the first roller gear  156 . Therefore, even when the first roller  6  moves slightly relative to the photosensitive drum  2  due to their rotations, the Oldham coupling  155  may absorb the deviation of the rotating axes of the gears, whereby driving force transmitted from the outside of the drum cartridge  1  may be transmitted to the first roller  6  stably. 
     Accordingly, a ratio of the peripheral speed of the first roller  6  relative to the photosensitive drum  2  may be widely changed. Further, driving force may be transmitted from the photosensitive drum  2  to the first roller  6  stably without an occurrence of the deviation of the rotating axes among the gears. Thus, instability in rotation of the photosensitive drum  2  caused due to the deviation of the rotating axes among the gears may be restricted, whereby an image may be formed on a sheet P with stable quality. 
     Accordingly, cleaning may be performed on the surface of the photosensitive drum  2  using the first roller  6  with stably and certainty. 
     (2) According to the drum cartridge  1 , as depicted in  FIGS. 11A and 11B , the rotating speed of the first roller  6  relative to the photosensitive drum  2  may be reduced using the first idle gear  154 , the second idle gear  164 , and the second roller gear  168 . 
     Thus, cleaning of the surface of the photosensitive drum  2  may be performed evenly using the first roller  6  as compared with a case where the rotating speed of the first roller  6  is increased relative to the rotating speed of the photosensitive drum  2 . 
     (3) According to the drum cartridge  1 , as depicted in  FIG. 11A , the first roller gear  156  is disposed between the drum gear  96  and the Oldham coupling  155 , whereby space may be used effectively. 
     Thus, the first roller gear  156 , the drum gear  96 , and the Oldham coupling  155  may be assembled effectively. 
     (4) According to the drum cartridge  1 , as depicted in  FIGS. 1 and 10 , the provision of the second roller  7  may enhance the ability to remove and collect paper dust. 
     Further, the Oldham coupling  155  includes the second roller gear  168  for inputting driving force to the second roller  7 , thereby restricting an increase of a parts count. 
     (5) According to the drum cartridge  1 , as depicted in  FIGS. 11A and 11B , the second idle gear  164  is further disposed in the driving force transmitting route from the drum gear  96  to the first roller gear  156 , whereby a ratio of the peripheral speed of the first roller  6  relative to the photosensitive drum  2  may be surely widely changed. 
     (6) According to the drum cartridge  1 , as depicted in  FIG. 11A , as viewed in the right-left direction, the first idle gear  154  and the first roller gear  156  partially overlap each other, thereby restricting an increase in size of the drum cartridge  1 . 
     (7) According to the drum cartridge  1 , as depicted in  FIGS. 10 and 11A , the gear holder  151  may improve the stability of the engagement between the first idle gear  154  and the second idle gear  164 . 
     With this configuration, driving force may be surely transmitted from the first idle gear  154  to the second idle gear  164 . Thus, the driving force may be further surely transmitted from the drum gear  96  to the first roller gear  156 . 
     Further, the deviation of rotating axes among the gears may be restricted. Therefore, instability in rotation of the photosensitive drum  2  may be restricted and thus image formation may be implemented with stability. 
     (8) According to the drum cartridge  1 , as depicted in  FIG. 11A , the second idle gear  164  and the first idle gear  154 , which have the respective diameters that are smaller than the diameter of the drum gear  96 , may reduce the rotating speed of the first roller  6  relative to the photosensitive drum  2 . 
     Thus, while a reduction in size of the drum cartridge  1  is achieved, the rotating speed of the first roller  6  relative to the photosensitive drum  2  may be reduced and cleaning may be performed on the surface of the photosensitive drum  2  with certainty. 
     (9) According to the drum cartridge  1 , as depicted in  FIGS. 1 and 11B , while the photosensitive drum  2  and the first roller  6  rotate in the same direction at their contacting point, a ratio of the peripheral speed of the first roller  6  relative to the photosensitive drum  2  may be widely changed and cleaning may be performed on the surface of the photosensitive drum  2  using the first roller  6  with certainty.
