Patent ID: 6926812

Claim:
A continuous electroplating apparatus comprising: a plating bath; at least two rotary electrode shafts; a rail between the rotary electrode shafts for mounting a planar article to be plated thereon; an electric supply roller mounted on each of the rotary electrode shafts, the electric supply roller being divided into at least one conductive segment and at least one non-conductive segment; an anode; a cathode; an electrical collection disk mounted on an upper portion of each of the rotary electrode shafts, the electrical collection disk corresponding to the electric supply roller mounted on the same rotary electrode shaft and having at least one conductive segment and at least one non-conductive segment in circumferential phase with the conductive segment and the non-conductive segment of the corresponding electric supply roller; first eliminator electrically connected to the conductive segment of the electric supply roller in contact with the planar article and to the anode; and second eliminator electrically connected to the cathode and to the conductive segment of the electric supply roller at a distance from the planar article.
