Abstract

When a development unit 30 once taken out from a copying machine 10 is incorporated therein, a developing pressure pin 30a engages with a stop face 106c of a pressure arm 106 to stop the development unit 30. This can prevent the development unit 30 from colliding against a photosensitive drum 56 when the development unit 30 is incorporated into a body of the copying machine 10.
