PROCESS CARTRIDGE AND IMAGE FORMING DEVICE Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC G03G15/08 

FIELD: image forming devices.

SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to a process cartridge mounted with the possibility of replacement in an image forming device and to image forming device, which includes process cartridge. Disclosed group of inventions includes a version of process cartridges. Process cartridge comprises a photosensitive drum, a rotatable developing roller for developing an electrostatic latent image formed on said photosensitive drum, connecting element, including driving force receiving section for receiving driving force to be transmitted to said development roller, wherein said driving force-receiving section is movable relative to said developing roller in a direction crossing the axis of said development roller, pressing element for pressing said driving force receiving section in direction crossing said developing roller axis, supporting section for rotatably supporting said driving force receiving section so as to be movable together with said driving force receiving section relative to said development roller in a direction crossing the axis of said developing roller and a stop section for receiving said support section pressed by said pressing element, wherein said stop section is located outside of outer periphery of said photosensitive drum in plane perpendicular to axis of said development roller, and wherein one of said developing roller and said connecting element rotates in clockwise direction, and the other of said developing roller and said connecting element rotates in counter clockwise direction.

EFFECT: technical result consists in providing a process cartridge and an image forming device capable of increasing the interval between the drive input to the photosensitive drum and the drive input to the development roller.
