Single piece control grid electrode for a corona charger

This invention relates in general to corona charging devices for use in electrostatographic reproduction machines, and more particularly to a control grid electrode for connection to a corona charging device used in such machines. A single piece control grid electrode for a corona charging device for charging a curvilinear shaped dielectric support member with improved charging uniformity and consistency and with lower assembly and service cost. The single piece control grid is formed by a plurality of integral planar segments angularly oriented with respect to each other so that each segment may be equally spaced from the curvilinear shaped dielectric support member.
