Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a main assembly, a cartridge, a rotationally movable member, an engaging portion, and a flexible member integrally including a first supported portion, a second supported portion, and a regulating portion. A position of the regulating portion of the flexible member relative to the engaging portion is changeable by a change in a flexed state of a portion of the flexible member between the first supported portion and the second supported portion, in interrelation with a change in relative position between the first supported portion and the second supported portion with rotational movement of the rotationally movable member When the rotationally movable member is in the first position, the regulating portion is in a regulating position to limit the elastic deformation of the engaging portion.

Claim (Index 8):
An image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein said first supported portion is fixed to said rotationally movable member so that when said rotationally movable member moves from the first position to the second position, said regulating portion moves in an insertion direction of said cartridge and contacts said engaging portion and retracts from a regulating position where elastic deformation of said engaging portion is limited and by the retraction of said regulating portion, regulation of the elastic deformation of said engaging portion by said regulating portion is eliminated.
