<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a process cartridge designed such that the unsealing handle of a developer sealing member can be cut off with small force and damage due to impact or the like during distribution can be restrained. <P>SOLUTION: The process cartridge includes: an electrophotographic photoreceptor drum; a developing means; a developer storage frame body; a developer supply opening made in the developer storage frame body; a developer sealing member for sealing the developer supply opening so that the opening can be unsealed; a handle which is grasped when the developer sealing member is removed in order to unseal the developer supply opening, to which one end of the developer sealing member is attached, and which is integrally formed with the developer storage frame body so that the handle can be cut off the developer storage frame body; a connecting part for connecting the handle and the developer storage frame body; and a through-hole made in the connecting part. The handle can be cut off the developer storage frame body along the through-hole. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
