ABSTRACT:
A tension mechanism for a carrier driving wire in an image processor in which a tension spring used to put the carrier driving wire under a tension is position regulated so that the tension spring is prevented from being stretched due to a vibration inevitably caused, for example, during transport of the image processor, and thereby the wire is reliably maintained in engagement with the guide pulleys. The housing of the image processor is provided with a spring stopper slidably moved longitudinally of a tension spring. The spring stopper has a pin adapted to be loosely inserted into an oval-shaped hook in one end of the tension spring adjacent an end of the wire.
