摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a blade supporting body attaching method and a process cartridge assembling method by which the accuracy of attaching a blade is secured and the blade is easily attached. SOLUTION: Before a blade supporting body is locked at a locking part provided on a frame, a force is applied to the frame in a direction where space between the opposed frames is widened so as to bend the frame and widen the space between the frames, and then the blade supporting body is locked at the locking part. Thereafter, the blade supporting body is fixed in the frame in a state where force is applied to the frame in a direction where the distance between the opposed frames is narrowed.
