摘要：An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member for carrying alatent image; a developing device including a rotatable developer carrying member forcarrying a developer and for supplying the developer to the image bearing member, a

developer feeding member, provided rotatably in a developing container containing thedeveloper, for feeding the developer, a first driving force receiving member, provided atone end portion of the developer carrying member with respect to a rotational axisdirection of the developer carrying member, for receiving a driving force for driving thedeveloper carrying member, a second driving force receiving member, provided at theother end portion of the developer carrying member with respect to the rotational axisdirection of the developer carrying member, for receiving a driving force for driving thedeveloper feeding member, abutment members provided at respective end portions ofthe developer carrying member to determine a gap between the image bearing memberand the developer carrying member by being abutted to respective end portions of theimage bearing member; a supporting mechanism for supporting the developing devicerotatably relative to a main assembly of the apparatus; a first drive inputting member,provided in the main assembly side of the apparatus, for directly inputting drive to thefirst driving force receiving member; and a second drive inputting member, provided inthe main assembly side of the apparatus, for directly inputting drive to the second drivingforce receiving member; wherein the first driving force receiving member and the seconddriving force receiving member are provided such that directions of components, indirections toward and away from the image bearing member, of forces applied to theabutment members at the time when the drives are inputted to the first driving forcereceiving member and the second driving force receiving member, respectively.
