A process cartridge detachably mountable to a main assembly of an electrophotographic image forming apparatus includes an electrophotographic photosensitive member; a process device actable on the electrophotographic photosensitive member; and a frame for supporting at least the electrophotographic photosensitive member. The frame includes a first positioning portion and a second positioning portion for positioning the process cartridge relative to the main assembly of the electrophotographic image forming apparatus coaxially with the electrophotographic photosensitive member. The first and second positioning portions are each provided with at least three receiving portions at three positions on an outer surface. Each of the receiving portions of each of the first positioning portion and the second positioning portion positions the first and second positioning portions by contacting a first positioning member of the main assembly of the electrophotographic image forming apparatus and a first positioning portion of a mounting device when the process cartridge is mounted to the main assembly of the electrophotographic image forming apparatus while being supported by a movable mounting device of the main assembly of the electrophotographic image forming apparatus.
A process cartridge detachably mountable to a main assembly of an electrophotographic image forming apparatus, the apparatus including a drawer which is movable between an inside position in which the drawer is in the main assembly of the apparatus and an outside position in which the drawer is projected out of the main assembly and said process cartridge is mountable thereto and demountable therefrom, said process cartridge comprising:
An electrophotographic image forming apparatus for forming an image on a recording material, wherein a process cartridge is a detachably mountable to a main assembly of said electrophotographic image forming apparatus, comprising:
