Abstract
The free end of a cantilever-mounted photoconductor belt capstan is rigidly secured to the machine frame by a pivotable mechanism including a slide pin and dog arrangement for cooperating with a receiving block on the machine frame. This same mechanism is arranged to operate a tension applying/relieving shoe against the inner surface of the photoconductor belt. Pivoting of the mechanism to the open position results in an open access to the capstan so that a closed-loop photoconductor belt is easily removed or installed on the capstan.
