Abstract
A developing cartridge includes a casing capable of containing a developer material. A lever is movable relative to the casing between a first position and a second position. The lever has one end portion that functions as the point of effort and another end portion that functions as the point of application. A surface functions as a pivot point, where the pivot point is not directly connected to the casing. When the lever moves around the surface from the first position to the second position, the casing moves relative to the lever according to the movement of the lever.
