A cover member mounted on a cartridge including a developer bearing member for providing a developer for developing an electrostatic latent image, and a grip portion to be gripped and cover an exposed part of the developer bearing member exposed outside a frame member of the cartridge, the cover member comprising:
- a partitioning portion configured to partition a space between the grip portion and the exposed part when the cover member is mounted on the cartridge, and
- an opening portion configured to be located between the partitioning portion and the exposed part when the cover member is mounted on the cartridge, and configured to pass through the cover member.
A cartridge comprising a developer bearing member for providing a developer for developing an electrostatic latent image, and a grip portion to be gripped,
- wherein a cover member is mounted on the cartridge, covering an exposed part of the developer bearing member exposed outside a frame member of the cartridge, and includes a portion partitioning a space between the grip portion and the exposed part, and
- wherein the cover member includes an opening portion located between the partitioning portion and the exposed part, and configured to pass through the cover member.
A cartridge comprising a developer bearing member for providing a developer for developing an electrostatic latent image, and a grip portion to be gripped,
- wherein a cover member is mounted on the cartridge, covering an exposed part of the developer bearing member exposed outside a frame member of the cartridge, and includes a portion partitioning a space between the grip portion and the exposed part;
- a developer regulating member configured to regulate a layer thickness of the developer carried by the developer bearing member,
- wherein the partitioning portion protrudes in a direction toward the developer regulating member.
