Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an apparatus main-body to and from which a process cartridge can be attached and detached. The process cartridge includes an image carrying member to carry an image, a charging member to charge the image carrying member, a cleaning member to clean the charging member by contacting it, and a force receiving unit to receive a force for moving the cleaning member in a longitudinal direction of the image carrying member. The apparatus main-body includes a slope portion which slopes in a direction in which the process cartridge is attached and contacts the force receiving unit to apply the force in a process where the process cartridge is attached to the apparatus main-body, and the slope portion applies the force to the force receiving unit to move the cleaning member from an inside to an outside of a region where an image can be formed.
