Abstract
Disclosed is electrical connective means for establishing electrical contact with an electrically conductive area on the surface of an electrophotographic film held on a carrier within an imaging apparatus. The imaging apparatus includes an enclosure within which the film is imaged, a carrier for holding the film while it is imaged, reciprocating means for moving the carrier to and from a load position near an opening of the enclosure and an imaging position within the enclosure. The electrical connective means includes an electrical contact member connected to the carrier for making electrical contact with the conductive area on the surface of the film, engagement means for moving the contact member into electrical contact with the conductive area in response to movement of the carrier from the load position to the imaging position, and disengagement means for moving the contact member away from the recording member in response to movement of the carrier from the imaging position to the load position.
