Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an apparatus body, an image bearing member, and a development cartridge which has a developer bearing member that is detachable and attachable against the apparatus body. In addition, a supply portion supplies a developer to the development cartridge and is configured to connect and separate from the development cartridge in the apparatus body in the vertical direction, and a movement mechanism moves the development cartridge away from a surface of the image bearing member by supporting the development cartridge and moving it from an attached position in a substantially vertical direction. A seal portion is configured around a connecting portion between the supply portion and the development cartridge and can seal the connecting portion by compressing with movement of the development cartridge by the movement mechanism.
