Abstract
This disclosure relates to an electrolytic cell for electroplating a continuous strand of steel wire which is spread out in a series of consecutive circular loops while passing through the electroplating cell. The loops of wire are carried by two or more steel chains spaced apart and designed to convey the wire through the electroplating solution, each chain being supported by a cooperative steel track which also serves as the cathode for transferring current to the chains and hence to the wire.
Claims9
An electrolytic cell for processing in a generally horizontal path material such as wire, rod or bar stock while passing through the electrolytic cell comprising:
- a receptacle,
- a conveying means for receiving and supporting said material while passing through said receptacle,
- said conveying means including a continuous electrically charged chain means,
- said chain means being made up of members that support the said material during its travel through said receptacle.
