Abstract:
Device for the partial electrochemical treatment of rod-shaped objects in dip plants, comprisinga. at least one plating tank (14), b. in the at least one plating tank (14), tubular electrodes (30) and at least one tubular membrane carrier (23, 26) in which objects to be processed may at least partially be entered, and c. membrane holders (4, 5) arranged within the at least one tubular membrane carrier (23, 26) wherein at least one cage (34) is provided within the at least one tubular membrane carrier (23, 26), said cage being arranged in such a manner that the objects (10) to be processed are capable of being pushed there through and each said cage being formed by at least one cage cover (11, 12) and at least one cage bottom (15, 16), a membrane holder (4, 5) holding a membrane (8, 9) being carried in a radially movable fashion between the cage cover (11, 12) and the cage bottom (15, 16) in each cage and wherein at least one inner centering spring (6, 7, 29, 32) for guiding the objects (10) to be processed and at least one outer centering spring (18, 19) for centering the membrane holder (4, 5) with the membrane (8, 9) are provided in the cage.
