Abstract

A corona charging device includes a U-shaped corona wire which is mounted between a pair of insulating blocks. One of the blocks has a spring biased plunger which engages the closed end of the wire to thereby place the wire in tension while the other block supports the legs of the wire. The legs of the wire have contact portions thereon which extend into a slot in the associated block. The contact portions are held in engagement with an electrical connector by a wedge. With this arrangement, the corona charging wire is readily replaceable.
