ABSTRACT:
A receiver member guide mechanism for a receiver member bearing a toned image, the mechanism including an open-wound helical spring wrapped tightly in a second helix around a support shaft. The shaft is positioned to locate the spring beneath the receiver member travel path. The shaft is rotated at a high rate of speed so that if a receiver member drops below the normal travel path, the lead edge of the member will be struck by the convolutions of the spring and redirected back into the travel path. The orientation of the convolutions of the spring is selected such that the peripheral surface of the convolutions provide only point contact with a receiver member so as to prevent smearing of the toned image.
