Method for effecting partial metal plating
Abstract
Abstract By the use of an apparatus comprising a supporting and partitioning base having a plurality of spaced openings each having an inner peripheral end edge of a V-shaped cross section for tightly linearly contacting the circumference of the article to be plated when the latter is inserted in place in said opening, and by establishing electric conduction between the terminal of an electrode and the conductive portion in that region of the article located on the inner side of said supporting and partitioning base and not requiring plating via a conductive powder or particles filled on said inner side of the partitioning base, and by immersing that portion of the article protruding on the outer side of said base in the electrolyte, it is possible to accomplish partial metal plating of this article without any complicated steps required in the prior art and to perform mass production at greatly reduced cost.
