Abstract:
1. A method for attaching a charging wire, comprising: locking a first end of a charging wire to a wire locking portion formed on a process frame, and engaging a first spring leg portion of a torsion spring shaped wire electrode with a second end of the charging wire; attaching, after said locking the first end and said engaging the first spring leg portion, a coil portion of the wire electrode to a coil support portion formed on the process frame in a state in which a tension equal to or larger than a set value is not applied to the charging wire; and moving, after said attaching the coil portion, a second spring leg portion of the wire electrode in a first direction in which a deformation amount of the wire electrode increases, and fixing the second spring leg portion to an electrode support portion formed on the process frame by positioning the second spring leg portion at a fixing position, such that the second spring leg portion is moved to the fixing position without moving the second spring leg portion in a direction opposite to the first direction.
