Abstract

See full text

An image forming apparatus includes a cartridge; and a drawer frame. The cartridge includes first and second frames; and first and second engagement portions. The first frame supports a photosensitive drum. The second frame supports a developing roller and moves relative to the first frame between a contact position where the developing roller is in contact with the photosensitive drum and the second engagement portion disengages from the first engagement portion and a separated position where the developing roller is spaced away from the photosensitive drum and the second engagement portion engages with the first engagement portion. The drawer frame is configured to move between an inside position inside a housing and an outside position outside the housing, and has a releasing part configured to release engagement of the first and second engagement portions so as to move the second frame from the separated position to the contact position.
