Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a main assembly provided with an opening through which a cartridge is to be mounted, an openable member movable between a closed position and an open position, and a cartridge, including a portion-to-be-urged, detachably mountable to the main assembly in a mounting completion position. When the openable member is open, a supporting surface is capable of guiding the cartridge to the opening, and during a closing operation, an urging portion and the portion-to-be-urged contact each other to push the cartridge toward the mounting completion position. When the openable member is in the closed position, a spacing is provided between the recessed portion and the portion-to-be-urged. The cartridge is a process cartridge having a photosensitive member unit and a developing device unit including the portion-to-be-urged.
