Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1326144A1] A process cartridge (B) comprises a frame body (12), a substrate (22) having a memory element (20) and a cartridge electrical contact (21) electrically connected and a cartridge pushing portion provided on the frame body. An electrophotographic image forming apparatus (A) on which the process cartridge (B) is loaded comprises main body electrical connecting means (31) and main body electrical contacts (34). The cartridge pushing portion (12c3) moves the main body electrical connecting means (31) so that the process cartridge (B) moves in a direction to be electrically connected with the cartridge electrical contact (21) when the process cartridge (B) is loaded on the electrophotographic image forming apparatus (A). The cartridge pushing portion operates so as to give a pushing force for pushing the main body electrical contact (34) in a direction to be electrically connected with the cartridge electrical contact (21). In this way, the main body electrical contact and the cartridge electrical contact can be stably reliably brought into contact. <IMAGE>
