Abstract
An image forming apparatus including a cartridge and an apparatus main body to which the cartridge is detachably attachable is disclosed. The apparatus main body includes a driving force transmitting member, an output member, and a biasing member disposed between the output member and the driving force transmitting member. The driving force transmitting member is caused to rotate relative to the output member in the predetermined rotation by the biasing member, when an engagement between the driving force transmitting member and the driving force receiving member is released by a detachment of the cartridge from the apparatus main body.
