| Summary: | The present invention relates to an electrophotographic process unit, including a photosensitive member and process means, detachably mounted in an apparatus for forming images.
A process unit for use in an electrophotographic image forming apparatus includes a carrying handle, a photosensitive member, a process device and a moveable cover connected to the process unit and shielding an area of the periphery of the photosensitive member. The cover is designed to retract from its shielding position for the process unit and is installed into the body of the image forming apparatus. Retraction of the cover is preferably caused by the action of grasping the handle. |
