Abstract
A corona generating device having an elongated generally U-shaped shield and a corona wire mounted within and extending along the length of the shield has an improved cleaning apparatus for cleaning both the interior surface of the shield and the wire. The cleaning apparatus includes a block slidably mounted within the shield so that the block can be moved back and forth along the shield, and a disposable cap which locks onto the block over the corona wire. The cap has cleaning pads mounted thereon for cleaning the interior surface of the shield, and a protrusion and recess are used to lock the cap onto the block in an operative position in which the cleaning pads contact the interior surface to be cleaned. Separate disposable pads for cleaning the corona wire are located between the block and cap, and when the cap is replaced, these wire cleaning pads are replaced also.
