Abstract: ABSTRACT CARTRIDGE, DRUM UNIT, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS A cartridge (100) detachably mountable to an apparatus main assembly (170) includes a photosensitive drum (104), a casing having first and second end portions (116, 117), and a coupling (1206) adjacent to the first end portion (116). The coupling (1206) includes a main body (1201), a movable portion (1202c) movable axially between a first position and a second position closer to the second end portion (117), and a projection (1200i) projecting away from an axis (L). When the movable portion (1202c) moves to the second position, the projection (1200i) moves circumferentially downstream by at least 20° relative to the main body (1201). The projection (1200i) has an acting portion (1200c) configured to abut a braking force applying member (204, 208) to move the member downstream relative to a driving force applying member (180).
