PURPOSE:To prevent rocking in portage by providing grips which move to and away from the top surface of a process cartridge and have grip parts nearly right over the center-of-gravity position of the process cartridge. CONSTITUTION:When the process cartridge 20 is attached to a device body, grips 24 and 25 are laid and stored in recessed parts 8a and 8b in the top surface of a housing, so they cause no hindrance to the attachment. When the process cartridge 20 is taken out of the device body and carried, finger tips are inserted into the recessed parts 8a1 and 8b1 formed at edges of the recessed parts 8a and 8b to raise the grips 24 and 25, whose meeting parts are held to carry the process cartridge 20. Those grips 24 and 25 are provided on the top surface of the cartridge 20, which is then held invariably horizontal and two grips 24 and 25 are gripped together, thereby preventing the rocking of the cartridge 20 in portage. |
