PROCESS CARTRIDGE, ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE-FORMING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING PROCESS CARTRIDGE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve commonality of a cartridge-frame structure so that the cartridge frame can correspond to both of an electrophotographic image-forming apparatus and the second electrophotographic image-forming apparatus different from the above electrophotographic image-forming apparatus.

SOLUTION: The process cartridge is detachably attached to the electrophotographic image-forming apparatus body. The process cartridge is provided with the cartridge frame; an electrophotographic photosensitive drum; a processing unit for acting on the electrophotographic photosensitive drum; a handle for gripping the process cartridge when the process cartridge is mounted on the first electrophotographic image-forming apparatus body; and a mounting unit provided in the cartridge frame. The mounting unit is attached with the handle member for gripping the process cartridge when the process cartridge is mounted on the second electrophotographic image-forming apparatus body in a case where the second electrophotographic image-forming apparatus body is used on which the process cartridge is mounted in a direction different from that of the first electrophotographic image-forming apparatus.
