Abstract
A cartridge incudes a developing roller for developing a latent image on a photosensitive drum, a drive inputting portion for receiving a driving force for driving the developing roller, a movable lever, and a clutch for transmitting the driving force received by the drive inputting portion to the developing roller. In a state where the developing roller contacts the photosensitive drum, the clutch is capable of preventing the transmission of the driving force to the developing roller in response to a position of the movable lever.
