Abstract
The present invention provides a process cartridge mountable to an image forming apparatus, comprising a frame, an image bearing member, process means acting on the image bearing member, and a gripper for gripping the process cartridge. The gripper portion is provided on said frame at a position offset from a longitudinal center of the process cartridge toward a position where the frame is subjected to a greater mounting resistance generated by engagement between the process cartridge and a member on the main body, when the process cartridge is mounted to the image forming apparatus.
