Abstract
In an electrostatographic apparatus including a housing having a lower portion containing electrostatographic process stations and an upper portion connected thereto containing a dielectric member supported on a core, the upper housing portion is movable relative to the lower housing portion to a first (closed) position where the dielectric member is in operative relation to such electrostatographic process stations and a second (open) position wherein the dielectric member is remote from such electrostatographic process stations to enable ready access to such process stations. The dielectric member core 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. A core support and locating device includes a plate member having a surface with a profile which supports the dielectric member core when the core is in its intermediate position, and guides the core automatically into its position for moement with the upper housing portion when the upper housing portion is moved to its first position.
