PURPOSE:To provide a process cartridge and developing device in which a problem that developer scatters when a replenishment cartridge is detached is resolved by making it impossible for the replenishment cartridge, after attached to the process cartridge or the developing device, to be detached. CONSTITUTION:The process cartridge 5 has an image formation process means such as a photosensitive drum 1, an electrifying means 2, a developing means 3 and a cleaning means 4, and these means are integrated into the cartridge by means of a plastic frame body 6. The process catridge 5 and the replenishment cartridge 8 are fixedly connected by the use of a stopper means 11, and the replenishment cartridge 8 cannot be not detached after the connection. The developing means 3 is constituted so that the space of the developer storage part 3b of the developing means 3 at least partly overlap the space where the replenishment cartridge 8 is fixed. |
