Summary:To provide an image forming device constituted so that a developer cartridge is moved between a first position for attaching/detaching the developer cartridge and a second position for forming an image, with which restriction on end-member rotation is lifted when the developer cartridge is at the first position.SOLUTION: The developer cartridge comprises: an end member capable of rotating relatively to a development frame; and a restriction member capable of moving between a restricted position at which the rotation of the end member relative to the development frame is restricted and a non-restricting position at which said rotation is not restricted. The restriction member is constituted so that the restriction member is at the restricted position when the developer cartridge is at a first position for attaching/detaching the developer cartridge and is at a second position when the developer cartridge is at a second position for forming an image.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7 【課題】 現像カートリッジを、現像カートリッジを着脱するための第1の位置と、画像形成するための第2の位置と、の間を移動するように構成した画像形成装置においては、現像カートリッジが第1の位置にあるときに端部部材の回転規制が解除される。【解決手段】 現像カートリッジは、現像枠体に対し回転可能である端部部材と、前記端部部材の前記現像枠体に対する回転を規制する規制位置と規制しない非規制位置との間を移動可能である規制部材と、を備え、前記規制部材は、前記現像カートリッジが前記現像カートリッジを着脱するための第1位置にある場合は前記規制位置にあり、画像形成をするための第2位置にある場合は前記規制部材が前記第2位置にある、ように構成されている。【選択図】 図7
