摘要

PURPOSE: To provide a method for reproducing a process cartridge having a disassemblable frame body. CONSTITUTION: (1) A positioning member 101 is stuck to a side cover 19. (2) The side cover 19 is cut by a cutting line 64 which passes through the positioning member 101. (3) A gear, a photoreceptor drum, a developing member and a cleaning member of the process cartridge 15 are disassembled and examined. (4) Toner is repacked in a toner storing vessel 16. (5) Inside parts are assembled by reusing goods and parts. (6) Cut side covers 15 are put together as shown in the figure and a joining member 102 is inserted in the positioning member 101. A pair of positioning members 101 at both sides are stiffly joined by the joining member 102.
