Abstract

L'invention concerne une cartouche de traitement (C) montée de manière amovible dans un dispositif d'imagerie de photo électronique et un composant d'entraînement (D0) agencé à l'intérieur de la cartouche de traitement (C). Le composant d'entraînement (D0) comporte un appareil de transmission de puissance (2) et une tige d'actionnement (3) reliés l'un par rapport à l'autre. L'appareil de transmission de puissance (2) est monté de manière fixe au niveau d'une extrémité distale longitudinale d'un élément rotatif. La tige d'actionnement (3) comporte une tige centrale (30) et, se trouvant disposées à chaque extrémité de la tige intermédiaire (30), une partie de support de force (31) et une partie de levage (32). La partie de levage (32) est reliée à l'appareil de transmission de puissance (2). Quand une force externe est appliquée sur la tige d'actionnement (3), la tige d'actionnement (3) bascule d'une position libre à une position de travail dans le plan comportant la direction longitudinale (X) et la direction transversale (Y) de la cartouche de traitement (C). Par rapport au moment où la partie de support de force (31) est disposée au niveau d'une position libre, la partie de support de force (31) est plus proche d'une extrémité électriquement conductrice (E) de la cartouche de traitement que lorsqu'elle est disposée au niveau d'une position de travail. L'appareil de transmission de puissance (2) évite le besoin de montage d'une bille; par conséquent, la stabilité de la cartouche de traitement (C) ou de l'élément rotatif pendant le transport est assurée.
