DEVELOPING APPARATUS, PROCESS CARTRIDGE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC G03G15/08 G03G21/18 

FIELD: electrostatographic printing; electrophotography; magnetography.

SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to a developing apparatus that develops an electrostatic latent image formed on a photosensitive drum, and is attachable/detachable to/from an apparatus main body of an image forming apparatus, and a process cartridge that forms a developer image on a photosensitive drum and is attachable/detachable to/from an apparatus main body of an image forming apparatus. In addition, the present invention relates to an image forming apparatus that forms an image on a recording medium by using an electrophotographic technology. Claimed group of inventions includes a developer that is attachable/detachable to/from an apparatus main body of an image forming apparatus, a process cartridge, and an image forming apparatus. Developer comprises a developer bearing member, a developing frame body that rotatably supports the developer bearing member, one-end side end member that supports one-end side in an axis direction of the developer bearing member of the developing frame body, and another-end side end member that supports the other-end side in the axis direction of the developer bearing member of the developing frame body, wherein the one-end side end member is rotatable with respect to the developing frame body and the another-end side end member, and the another-end side end member is rotatable with respect to the developing frame body and the another-end side end member.

EFFECT: technical result is preventing the upsizing of the developing cartridge serving as a developing apparatus.
