ABSTRACT:
A corona charger wire tensioning mechanism, for a corona charging device for applying a charge to a selected surface within an electrostatographic reproduction apparatus or the like, which facilitates corona wire replacement. The corona charging device comprises at least one corona wire, and a housing. A mechanism, located in the housing, anchors one end of the corona wire thereto and couples an electrical potential source to the corona wire. A tensioning mechanism is removably receivable in the housing in spaced relation to the anchoring mechanism. The tensioning mechanism has an anchor for securing the opposite end of the corona wire thereto, and an arm adapted to engage the housing along a line which forms a pivot axis for the tensioning mechanism. After the corona wire is easily and readily anchored to the tensioning mechanism remotely from the housing, the tensioning mechanism can be received in the housing and pivoted about the pivot axis to a position to apply a preselected tension to the corona wire.
