PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a process cartridge configured to prevent a collision between a developing roller and a photoreceptor drum, while preventing cost increase, without increasing the number of components, and an electrophotographic image forming apparatus.SOLUTION: Guide structure sections are arranged at one longitudinal end of a photoreceptor unit 60 and one longitudinal end of a developing unit 20. The guide structure sections are separated from each other when an external force is not applied to a cartridge B, while they are brought into contact with each other when the developing unit 20 is rotated with respect to a link member 100 due to an impact received by the cartridge B in a direction where a developing roller 32 approaches a drum 62, to guide the developing unit 20 in a direction where the developing roller 32 is separated from the drum 62. |
