A cartridge includes a first maintaining member and a second maintaining member, each disposed on respective end portions of a charging roller in an axial direction of the charging roller and configured to maintain a position of the charging roller at a first position, and a first moving portion and a second moving portion, each disposed on respective end portions of an image bearing member in an axial direction of the image bearing member and configured to respectively abut on and move the first and second maintaining members according to rotation of the image bearing member so as to move the charging roller from the first position to the second position. When the image bearing member is rotated in which the charging roller is in the first position, the first moving portion abuts on the first maintaining member, and then the second moving portion abuts on the second maintaining member.
