`ABSTRACT
`An image forming apparatus cartridge comprises a devel
`oper roller having an axis L1 and a coupling member having
`an axis L2 . The coupling member includes ( i ) a first end
`portion operatively connected to the developer roller , ( ii ) a
`second end portion including at least one projection , and ( iii )
`a connecting portion connecting the first end portion and the
`second end portion . The coupling member is movable
`between ( i ) a first position in which a tip of the at least one
`projection is a first distance away from the developer roller
`as measured in the direction of the axis L1 and ( ii ) a second
`position in which the tip of the at least one projection is a
`second distance away from the developer roller as measured
`in the direction of the axis L1 , wherein the first distance is
`greater than the second distance .
