摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an end member that enables proper transmission of turning force and smooth attachment/detachment to/from an apparatus body.SOLUTION: There is provided an end member that is arranged at each of the ends of a columnar rotating body to be attached to an image forming apparatus body, and includes a cylindrical bearing member and a shaft member held by the bearing member. The shaft member comprises: a rotation shaft that swings within a range of 18° or less with respect to a direction along the axis of the bearing member; a turning force receiving member that is arranged at one end of the rotation shaft and includes an engagement member that engages with a driving shaft of the image forming apparatus body, and a regulating member that is pressed to engage or separate with/from the rotation shaft or the turning force receiving member, thereby switching between an attitude where the engaging member engages with the driving shaft and an attitude where the engaging member does not engage with the driving shaft.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
