A data storage device (40) for receiving a removable disk cartridge (10) comprises first and second members (70, 72) movably mounted in the data storage device. Each movable member is adapted to perform a respective function within the disk drive. A first spring (90) is coupled to the first movable member (70) for biasing the first movable member in a first direction, and a second spring (92) is coupled to the second movable member (72) for biasing the second movable member in the same direction. A single electro- mechanical device (74) has a drive shaft (76) that engages the first and second movable members at different positions during its travel from an extended position to a retracted position. By applying different currents to the electro-mechanical device (74), the first and second movable members can be operated independently. The data storage device therefore can achieve two functions using only a single electro-mechanical device.
Une unité de mémoire (40) conçue pour recevoir une cartouche à disque amovible (10) comporte une premier et un second élément (70, 72) montés mobiles dans celle-ci. Chaque élément mobile est conçu pour remplir une fonction respective dans l'unité de disque. Un premier ressort (90) accouplé au premier élément mobile (70) sollicite le premier élément mobile dans un premier sens, et un second ressort (92) accouplé au second élément mobile (72) sollicite le second élément mobile dans un second sens. Un seul dispositif électromécanique (74) comporte un axe d'entraînement (76) qui vient en prise avec les premier et second éléments mobiles, en différents points, pendant son déplacement entre une position sortie et une position rentrée. On peut exploiter séparément les premier et second éléments mobiles par l'application de différents courants sur le dispositif électromécanique (74). L'unité de mémoire peut ainsi exécuter deux fonctions à l'aide d'un seul dispositif électromécanique.
