Abstract:
An assembly for at least partial immersion in an electrolyte, in a container, for electroplating a nonconductor having a conducting portion, said assembly comprising:an insulating frame having a first projection opposite a second projection; a metal filament for connection to a negative pole of a source of electrical energy, said metal filament extending from said first projection to said second projection; a first conductive plate attached to said frame at a first distance from said metal filament; and a second conductive plate attached to said frame at a second distance from said metal filament, said first plate and said second plate being adapted for connection to a positive pole of the source of electrical energy, said metal filament and portions of each of said first projection and said second projection of said insulating frame being located to submerge in said electrolyte for electroplating said nonconductor having a conducting portion.
