Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A cartridge is detachably mountable on a main casing. The main casing is provided with a coupling member providing a driving force. The cartridge comprises: a first roller extending in a first direction and configured to rotate about a first rotational axis; a driving force receiving portion configured to receive the driving force from the coupling member to drive the first roller and rotate about a second rotational axis, the driving force receiving portion comprising a contact portion configured to be in contact with the coupling member; and a first gear comprising a gear tooth, the gear being configured to transmit the driving force received at the driving force receiving portion to the first roller. The contact portion is overlapped with the gear tooth when projected in the first direction.
