Title: Electrographic segment electrode clamping assembly

Abstract: A clamping assembly for an array of segment electrodes for use in electrographic printers and the like, includes a compressible and electrically non-conductive material disposed between the segment electrodes and a clamping member. The individual segment electrodes are accurately disposed relative to each other and to the printer when a clamping force exerted on the clamping member squeezes the compressible material to extrude it into openings between each individual segment electrode to thereby electrically insulate each from the other and to preset their positional relationship.
