ABSTRACT:
An improved electrostatographic apparatus including a housing having a lower portion containing electrostatographic process stations and an upper portion connected thereto containing a dielectric member mounted for movement about a closed loop path. The upper housing portion is movable relative to the lower housing portion to a first position where the dielectric member is in operative relation to such electrostatographic process stations and a second position wherein the dielectric member is remote from such electrostatographic process stations to enable ready access to such process stations. The dielectric member is mounted in the upper housing portion for movement with the upper housing portion or movement relative thereto to a position intermediate the upper and lower housing portions when the upper portion is in its second position. The improvement comprises a sliding plate assembly, connected to the dielectric member mount and the lower housing portion, for accurately locating the dielectric member in its intermediate position. Further, such assembly enables movement of the upper housing portion to its operative position from its remote position when the dielectric member is in its position to move with the upper housing portion, and inhibits movement of the upper housing portion from its remote position to its operative position when the dielectric member is in its intermediate position.
