Process Unit

摘要

A process unit has an image carrying unit having an image carrying member configured to be rotatable about a first axis extending in a first direction, and a developing agent removing member, a developing unit having a developing agent carrying member configured to be rotatable about a second axis parallel to the first axis, and a waste developing agent collecting unit configured to collect the developing agent removed by the removing member from the image carrying member. The waste developing agent collecting unit is arranged on one side in the first direction with respect to the developing unit such that the waste developing agent collecting unit faces the developing unit, and the developing unit is connected to the waste developing agent collecting unit such that the developing unit being movable in a second direction which is perpendicular to the first direction with respect to the waste developing agent collecting unit.

1. A developing unit detachably mountable to a drum unit including a photosensitive drum, the developing unit comprising:
a developing roller rotatable about a first rotational shaft extending in a first direction and configured to supply a developing agent to the photosensitive drum; and at least one supporting member disposed at an end portion of the developing unit in the first direction and configured to support, at a position shifted from the developing roller in the first direction, a waste developing agent accommodating unit configured to accommodate a waste developing agent collected from the photosensitive drum, wherein the supporting member is configured to support the waste developing agent accommodating unit such that the waste developing agent accommodating unit is movable, at the position shifted from the developing roller in the first direction, relative to the developing unit in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.
