Abstract:
Carrier serving to supply current to workpieces to be treated electrolytically in a dipping bath or to counter-electrodes used in the electrolytic treatment, characterized in that the carrier comprises at least three elongate electric current conductors (9-11), disposed parallel to one another, whereina. a first current conductor (9) is configured in such a way that the workpieces or counter-electrodes can, for supplying electric current and for mechanical attachment, be attached to the conductor directly or via holding devices, b. respectively a second (10) to nth (11) current conductor is provided, the second current conductor (10) being connected to the first current conductor (9), the third current conductor (11) to the second current conductor (10) etc. via respectively at least one electrically conductive connection (13-15) in such a way that i. electrical transition resistances existing between connections (13, 14) between the first (9) and second (10) current conductor on the one hand and connections (15) between the (nâˆ’1)th (10) and the nth (11) current conductor on the other hand are of the same size and ii. the nth current conductor (11) is connected to the (nâˆ’1)th current conductor (10) via an electrically conductive connection (15) roughly in the centre of the (nâˆ’1)th current conductor (10) and c. electric power leads are provided from a current source at at least one end (16) of the nth current conductor (11).
