Process cartridge and image forming apparatus

摘要

A process cartridge attachable to and detachable from an image forming device includes a photosensitive drum that is configured to form an electrostatic latent image, a flange that is arranged to the photosensitive drum, including a cylindrical attachment part, a frame that rotatably holds the flange, and a load member that is slidably press-fitted to the attachment part of the flange. The frame includes an engagement part that is configured to engage with a part of the load member, and a rotation of an end part of the load member is regulated by a regulation surface of the engagement part.

1. A process cartridge attachable to and detachable from an image forming device, the process cartridge comprising:
a photosensitive unit that rotates about a rotational axis, the photosensitive unit including:
a photosensitive drum that is configured to form an electrostatic latent image and that includes an edge part; anda flange that is positioned outside the edge part of the photosensitive drum in a rotational axis direction of the photosensitive unit, including a cylindrical attachment part; a frame that rotatably holds a part of the photosensitive unit; and a load member that is slidably press-fitted to the attachment part of the flange, wherein the frame includes an engagement part that is configured to engage with a part of the load member, a rotation of an end part of the load member is regulated by a regulation surface of the engagement part, and the load member is positioned entirely outside the edge part of the photosensitive drum in the rotational axis direction of the photosensitive unit.
