Abstract

See full text

An image forming apparatus includes a rotatable first coupling provided at a side surface of an engaging portion with a taper surface, and a unit detachably mountable in a second direction crossing with the first direction. The unit includes a second coupling, a driven member and a releasing member. The second coupling includes at an end portion thereof a portion-to-be-engaged engageable with the engaging portion to transmit the driving force, and the driven member receives the driving force from the second coupling. When the unit is disengaged from the main assembly, the releasing member is moved in the second direction in contact with the taper surface to move the first coupling away from the second coupling to effect disengagement between the engaging portion and the portion-to-be-engaged.
