Abstract:
An apparatus body includes an elastic body-side terminal, which is a terminal for supplying electricity to a cartridge. The cartridge includes: a developing apparatus that develops as a developer image an electrostatic latent image formed on an image bearing member; a cartridge-side terminal for supplying electricity from the apparatus body; and a frame having an opening that exposes the cartridge-side terminal. In a process of attaching the cartridge to the apparatus body, the body-side terminal makes contact with the cartridge-side terminal by being inserted into the opening. The body-side terminal presses the cartridge-side terminal in a state in which the cartridge is attached to the apparatus body.
