Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a developing cartridge, a drum cartridge, and an electric contact. The developing cartridge includes a holder having a resilient member. In a state where the holder is positioned at a first position, the resilient member has a first length and the electric contact surface is in contact with the electric contact. In a state where the holder is positioned at a second position, the resilient member has a second length in the third direction longer than the first length and the electric contact surface is in contact with the electric contact. In a state where the holder moves from the first position to the second position, the holder pivots in a state where the holder is in contact with the first contact surface.

Claim (Index 1):
An image forming apparatus comprising:\n a developing cartridge including:\n a developing roller rotatable about a first rotating axis extending in a first direction; \n a casing configured to accommodate a developing agent and having one end portion in a second direction where the developing roller is positioned; \n a storage medium having an electric contact surface; and \n a holder positioned at one end portion of the casing in the first direction, and holding the electric contact surface, the holder having:\n a first outer surface positioned at one side of the holder in a third direction crossing the electric contact surface, and holding the electric contact surface; \n a second outer surface positioned at another side of the holder in the third direction, and positioned away from the first outer surface in the third direction; and \n a resilient member positioned between the first outer surface and the second outer surface, and configured to be compressed and expanded in the third direction; \n \n a drum cartridge including a photosensitive drum rotatable about a second rotating axis extending in the first direction; an electric contact configured to be in contact with the electric contact surface; and a frame to which the developing cartridge is attachable in a state where the developing cartridge is attached to the drum cartridge, the frame having a first guide surface configured to guide at least a part of the first outer surface, and configured to contact with at least a part of the first outer surface during attachment of the developing cartridge to the frame, the first guide surface having a first contact surface positioned opposite to the developing roller in the second direction with respect to the electric contact surface; wherein the holder is movable relative to the frame from a first position to a second position during detachment of the developing cartridge from the frame, wherein, in a state where the holder is positioned at the first position, the resilient member has a first length in the third direction and the electric contact surface is in contact with the electric contact; wherein, in a state where the holder is positioned at the second position, the resilient member has a second length in the third direction longer than the first length and the electric contact surface is in contact with the electric contact; and wherein, in a state where the holder moves from the first position to the second position, the holder pivots about a part of the first outer surface in a state where the holder is in contact with the first contact surface of the first guide surface.
