A process cartridge comprising a photosensitive drum and at least one
process member extending between two positioning members. In particular,
the process cartridge is detachably mountable to an image forming
apparatus. The a process cartridge is detachably mountable to an image
forming apparatus, and contains a first positioning member, a second
positioning member, a rotatable photosensitive drum extending between and
connected to the first positioning member and second positioning member,
and at least one process member extending between and connected to the
first positioning member and second positioning member such that the
distance between the rotatable photosensitive member and the process
member is fixed by the first positioning member and the second
positioning member. In a second embodiment, a housing member is adapted
to contain toner, the housing member extending between the first and
second positioning members such that any toner contained within is
constrained directly by the first and second positioning members.
