ELECTRIFYING MODULE, PROCESS CARTRIDGE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a process cartridge, in which a latent image carrier and an electrifying means can be easily replaced independently by a user, etc., even when designing with the latent image carrier and the electrifying means integrated. SOLUTION: The processing cartridge 1 in which at least a photoreceptor 3 and an electrifying module 4 are integrated and which is attachable/detachable to/from the body of the image forming apparatus 100 has an electrifying module 4 that includes: the photoreceptor 3; an electrifying member 42 which electrifies the photoreceptor 3; a support part 44 which guides the electrifying member 42 so that the member 42 can be moved; and a spring member 46 that acts in the direction of making the electrifying member 42 separate from a housing 41. The photoreceptor 3 and the electrifying module 4 are replaceable. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
