ABSTRACT:
A device for handling corona charger wires in order to facilitate the placement of wires within the housing of the corona charger. The corona wire handling device includes a substantially rectangular frame, the frame having opposed long side members and opposed short side members. The long side members of the rectangular frame are readily separable from the short side members thereof. A mechanism, associated with the rectangular frame, is provided for supporting an intermediate portion of at least one corona wire on the frame. Further, a mechanism is provided for controlling tension on the corona wire induced by the corona wire intermediate support mechanism. Accordingly, when the rectangular frame is associated with the corona charger for placement of a corona wire operatively therein and the tension control mechanism is activated, tension increase in the corona wire induced by insertion of the corona wire in the corona charger is controlled to balance wire tension in order to prevent corona wire damage or breakage. Thereafter, the long side members of the rectangular frame are separated from the short side members to enable removal of excess portions of the rectangular frame and the wire supporting mechanism.
