Abstract:
A developing device detachably coupled to an electrophotographic image forming apparatus which includes a housing including a photoconductive drum and at least one roller; and an electrical contact member disposed in the housing, connected to the at least one roller, and formed of a conductive metallic plate to provide an electrical path between the at least one roller and a power supply when the developing device is attached to the electrophotographic image forming apparatus, wherein the electrical contact member includes a base including a coupling unit to engage with the housing, a first elastic member to bend from the base in a first direction; a second elastic member to bend from the first elastic member in a second direction and including a contact to contact the at least one roller; and an anti-deformation unit to bend from the base and to face a surface of the first elastic member in the second direction of the second elastic member to prevent the first elastic member from bending in the second direction.
