Patent ID: 7899358

Claim:
A process cartridge for use with an image forming apparatus including a main-body side power supply electrode, the process cartridge comprising: an electrostatic latent image carrier; a housing that rotatably supports the electrostatic latent image carrier, the housing comprising: rollers; and a slide support member; and a developing cartridge, which is attachable to and detachable from the housing of the process cartridge, the developing cartridge being supported by the rollers, the developing cartridge comprising: a developer carrier comprising a rotational shaft; an action receiving member; a case that rotatably supports the developer carrier, the case comprising a toner containing chamber; and a conductive member, one end of the conductive member being electrically connected to the rotational shaft of the developer carrier, and another end of the conductive member being positioned above the rollers and positioned at a center of the toner containing chamber, the conductive member passing an outer surface of the toner containing chamber; wherein the main-body side power supply electrode presses another end of the conductive member in a first direction; wherein the slide support member presses the action receiving member in a second direction; and wherein the first direction and the second direction extend substantially perpendicular to one another in a plane that is perpendicular to the rotational shaft of the developer carrier.
