Original Abstract Submitted
A developing device mountable on an image forming apparatus includes a main body, a fixing portion, a connecting portion and a developing side electric contact. The fixing portion is fixed to the image forming apparatus in a state where the main body and the fixing portion are positioned in the image forming apparatus. A developing side electric contact is provided on the fixing portion and to contact a main assembly side electric contact of the image forming apparatus in a state in which the main body and the fixing portion are positioned. When the developing device is pressed by a pressing portion of the image forming apparatus in a state where the fixing portion is fixed to the image forming apparatus, the main body is rotated about the connecting portion as a rotation center so that the developer carrying member is moved from a separated position to a developing position.
