Abstract
A discrete sacrificial zinc anode is fabricated from one or more slotted and slatted metal plates. The plates are fixed in a parallel planar configuration using conventional fasteners. One or more electrical connection wires are formed with a looped portion for spacing the anode assembly a predetermined distance from a steel reinforcing member.
Claims17
An anode assembly, comprising:
- a first metal plate having a plurality of projections extending outwardly from said first metal plate;
- a second metal plate having a plurality of projections extending outwardly from said second metal plate;
- a fastener coupling said first metal plate to said second metal plate;
- a wire fastened to said first metal plate;
- a washer disposed between said first and second metal plates;
- and
- a mortar covering said first and second metal plates.

3 more elements
An anode assembly, comprising:
- a first metal plate extending in a first plane and having a plurality of projections extending outwardly therefrom;
- an electrically conductive wire formed in a first closed loop extending adjacent to said first plane and electrically coupled at a first end portion to said first metal plate;
- a mortar covering said first metal plate and said first end portion of said first closed loop;
- said first closed loop extending outwardly from said mortar and extending into a twisted portion;
- and
- said electrically conductive wire having a pair of free end wire portions extending from said twisted portion in a second plane substantially perpendicular to said first plane for aligning said first metal plate with a steel reinforcement member.
