Abstract
The present invention provides a process cartridge removably mounted to an electrophotographic image forming apparatus. It comprises an electrophotographic photosensitive member, a developing sleeve for supplying magnetic toner to the electrophotographic photosensitive member to develop a latent image formed on the electrophotographic photosensitive member, a magnet disposed within the developing sleeve, and an electrode member for supplying electricity from the image forming apparatus to the developing sleeve when the process cartridge is mounted to the image forming apparatus. The magnet is positioned in a thrust direction by the electrode member.
