Printer cartridge having a retractable mechanism

A process cartridge, comprising:

• a process cartridge housing,
• a photosensitive member arranged inside said process cartridge housing,
• a driving force receiver connected with said photosensitive member and providing a driving force for said photosensitive member, and
• a retractable mechanism allowing said driving force receiver to extend or retract in the axial direction of said photosensitive member,
• wherein said process cartridge also comprises a control mechanism for controlling the extension and retraction of said retractable mechanism;
• wherein said control mechanism is provided at a position which is intersected with said retractable mechanism.

A process cartridge, comprising:

• a process cartridge housing,
• a driving force receiver, and
• a retractable mechanism allowing said driving force receiver to extend or retract in a direction,
• wherein said process cartridge also comprises a control mechanism for controlling the extension and retraction of said retractable mechanism;
• wherein said control mechanism is provided at a position which is out of the outmost periphery of said driving force receiver.

A process cartridge, comprising:

• a process cartridge housing,
• a driving force receiver, and
• a retractable mechanism allowing said driving force receiver to extend or retract in a direction,
• wherein said process cartridge also comprises a control mechanism for controlling the extension and retraction of said retractable mechanism;
• wherein said control mechanism comprises a guy of which one end is connected with said retractable mechanism and the other end receives a tensile force, and said guy is arranged on the process cartridge housing;
• and
• wherein said retractable mechanism is controlled by said control mechanism to extend or retract in the direction, via flexible traction of said guy.

A process cartridge, comprising:

• a process cartridge housing,
• a driving force receiver,
• a flange, and
• a control mechanism for controlling the extension and retraction of said driving force receiver along said flange;
• wherein said control mechanism is arranged substantially perpendicular to the extension or retraction direction and at one side of said process cartridge housing, at which said driving force receiver is arranged;
• said control mechanism and said flange are partially overlapped with each other when viewed from a side of the process cartridge;
• wherein a first guide post is further arranged on said driving force receiver;
• a first guide groove is further arranged on the flange;
• said first guide post can slide, in the axial direction of said flange, on said first guide groove.

A process cartridge, comprising:

• a process cartridge housing,
• a driving force receiver,
• a flange, and
• a control mechanism for controlling the extension and retraction of said driving force receiver along said flange;
• wherein said control mechanism comprises a surface and is arranged at one side of said process cartridge housing, at which said driving force receiver is arranged;
• said surface of the control mechanism can control said driving force receiver to extend or retract in the direction;
• said control mechanism and said flange are partially overlapped with each other when viewed from a side of the process cartridge;
• wherein a first guide post is further arranged on said driving force receiver;
• a first guide groove is further arranged on the flange;
• said first guide post can slide, in the axial direction of said flange, on said first guide groove.
