| abstract |
The present invention provides a process cartridge (B) mountable to an image forming apparatus, comprising a frame, an image bearing member, process means acting on the image bearing member, and a gripper (12d) for gripping the process cartridge (B). The gripper portion is provided on said frame to be offset toward a position where the frame is subjected to a greater mounting resistance generated by engagement between the process cartridge (B) and a member on the main body, when the process cartridge (B) is mounted to the image forming apparatus. |
