A process cartridge comprising: a photosensitive drum configured to carry an electrostatic latent image; a developing roller for developing the electrostatic latent image; a drum frame for supporting said photosensitive drum; a developing frame for supporting said developing roller, wherein said developing frame is rotatably supported by said drum frame about a rotational axis wherein said developing frame is movable, relative to said drum frame between a contact position in which said developing roller is in contact with said photosensitive drum and a spaced-apart position in which said developing roller is spaced apart from said photosensitive drum; a force receiving member having an end and an urged portion , said force receiving member being configured to move between a non-operative position, a regulating position and a projected position projecting beyond said non-operative position, said regulating position being located between said non-operative position and said projected position, wherein said end is closer to the rotational axis when said force receiving member is in the regulating position than when said force receiving member is in the projected position, an urging member including a first portion contacting with and urging said urged portion , a second portion and an elastic portion disposed between said first portion and said second portion , wherein when a force is applied to said end of said force receiving member when said force receiving member is in the projected position, said developing frame is movable to the spaced apart position, and said elastic portion is elastically deformable when said force receiving member is in the regulating position. a photosensitive drum configured to carry an electrostatic latent image; a developing roller for developing the electrostatic latent image; a drum frame for supporting said photosensitive drum; a developing frame for supporting said developing roller, wherein said developing frame is rotatably supported by said drum frame about a rotational axis wherein said developing frame is movable, relative to said drum frame between a contact position in which said developing roller is in contact with said photosensitive drum and a spaced-apart position in which said developing roller is spaced apart from said photosensitive drum; a force receiving member having an end and an urged portion , said force receiving member being configured to move between a non-operative position, a regulating position and a projected position projecting beyond said non-operative position, said regulating position being located between said non-operative position and said projected position, wherein said end is closer to the rotational axis when said force receiving member is in the regulating position than when said force receiving member is in the projected position, an urging member including a first portion contacting with and urging said urged portion , a second portion and an elastic portion disposed between said first portion and said second portion , wherein when a force is applied to said end of said force receiving member when said force receiving member is in the projected position, said developing frame is movable to the spaced apart position, and said elastic portion is elastically deformable when said force receiving member is in the regulating position. <EOS>
