Abstract: A developing cartridge includes: a photosensitive unit; a developing unit coupled to the photosensitive unit to be movable between a release position and a developing position; an elastic member to provide an elastic force in a direction to maintain the developing unit at the developing position; a movable member including a gear portion, the movable member and capable of moving to a first position to move the developing unit to the release position and second position to move the developing unit to the developing position; and a switching member connected to a driving gear, wherein as the driving gear rotates in a first direction or a second direction, the switching member is switched between a third position at which the switching member is connected to the gear portion to move the movable member from the second position to the first position and a fourth position at which the switching member is spaced apart from the gear portion to allow the movable member to move from the first position to the second pos

Abstract: Disclosed is a development cartridge attachable/detachable to/from a main body of an image forming apparatus. The development cartridge includes at least a photosensitive drum to form an electrostatic latent image thereon or a developer roller to develop the electrostatic latent image by supplying a developer to the photosensitive drum, a housing to support the at least one photosensitive drum or the developer roller. A developer roller gear may be provided on a rotation shaft of the developer roller to connect to a driving gear of the main body when the development cartridge is attached to the main body, and a driven coupler provided at an end of the photosensitive drum to couple to a driving coupler located coaxially with the driving gear in the main body, based on shaft coupling when the development cartridge is attached to the main body.

Abstract: Provided is a development cartridge capable of being detachably attached to a main body of an image forming apparatus, the development cartridge including a developing roller; a driving power receiving member configured to rotate in a first direction or a second direction by receiving a driving power from the main body; and a power delivery member configured to connect the driving power receiving member to the developing roller and to deliver only torque of the driving power receiving member in the first direction to the developing roller.

Abstract: An electrophotographic image forming apparatus is provided including a body including an opening and a first coupler, a photoreceptor cartridge including a second coupler connected to the first coupler, a first gear connected to the second coupler, and a mounting portion, and attached to or detached from the body through the opening; and a development cartridge including a second gear connected to the first gear and attached or detached from the mounting portion through the opening while the photoreceptor cartridge is mounted in the body.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a body provided with an opening at one side thereof, a developing tray movably installed at the opening, a plurality of developing units mounted to the developing tray, and a pair of frames forming opposite inner sides of the body. The frames are provided with a plurality of seating grooves to support lower ends of the developing units such that the developing units are supported by the frames, and therefore the positions of the photosensitive bodies of the developing units with respect to other constituents supported by the frames may be accurately regulated.

Abstract: An electrophotographic image forming apparatus is provided including a body including an opening, a photoreceptor cartridge attached to, or detached from, the body through the opening and including a mounting portion, a development cartridge attached to, or detached from, the mounting portion through the opening when the photoreceptor cartridge is mounted in the body, and a cover opening or closing the opening and fixing the development cartridge to the mounting portion by pressurizing the development cartridge while the opening is closed.

Abstract: A developing unit and an image forming apparatus are disclosed. The developing unit includes an image carrier on which an electrostatic latent image is formed, a developing member to supply a developer to the image carrier, and a first cleaning member having a first cleaning blade to remove a non-transferred developer on the image carrier. The first cleaning blade is configured to be reversible between a counter disposition, which is opposite to a rotation direction of the image carrier while the image carrier is in a printing operation, and a trailing disposition, which corresponds to the rotation direction.
