Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0430917A1] Device for forming a continuous electrolytic deposit of uniform thickness on a mobile substrate, in which a cathode consisting of the mobile substrate travels in front of an anode with which it defines an electrolysis gap of small height. The anode consists of a plurality of anode modules (3) mechanically independent of each other. The electrical and/or hydraulic circuits feeding the anode modules (3) comprise flexible members (15) between the stationary sources of current and/or electrolyte and the anode modules. In addition the anode modules are provided with means (4, 9, 10) by which they bear on the cathode (2) or on a surface (1) connected directly to the cathode. The bearing means (4) of at least one anode module (3) preferably comprise means for adjusting the distance between the anode module (3) and the cathode (2) or the surface (1) connected directly to the cathode. These bearing means (4) are, for example, skids or rollers which are optionally fitted at the arm end (9, 10; 13) supporting the anode modules (3). <IMAGE>
