Abstract
Charged neutralizer apparatus including a charge neutralizing brush which is formed thin conductive wires brought into proximity with a charged body to cause a discharge thereof is disclosed herein. A spacer member is provided to prevent direct contact between the thin conductive wires and the charged body and defines a narrow clearance therebetween. The brush is disposed in a movable manner and adapted to move under its own weight or by biasing means, in following relationship with the changed body to thus enable an elimination of charge at any position of the charged body.
