Abstract:
A process cartridge, combination of a process cartridge and a drive shaft of an electrophotographic image forming apparatus, and a method of mounting and using a process cartridge in an electrophotographic image forming apparatus include a feature that a coupling member of the process cartridge can take different angular positions relative to the fixed axis of rotation of the drive shaft. In one position, the axis of the coupling member is inclined relative to the drive shaft's fixed axis of rotation. In another position, the axis of the coupling member is substantially coaxial with the drive shaft's fixed axis of rotation.
