Abstract
A discharge wire cleaning apparatus having a cleaning member adapted to clean a discharge wire, which is used in a corona discharge device and supported so that the wire extends in the lengthwise direction of a back plate of the corona discharge device. An elongated guide groove, which has an opened portion parallel to the discharge wire, is provided in the back plate, and a shaft portion of the cleaning member is fitted slidably in this guide groove, the opened portion of the guide groove restricting the cleaning member so that the cleaning member can be moved in parallel with the discharge wire. The cleaning member can be turned at one end of the guide groove so as to be separated from the discharge wire. A rope is fitted through the shaft portion of the cleaning member and moved by a driving power source to enable the cleaning member to be moved slidingly in the guide groove in the lengthwise direction thereof.
