Device and method for producing a coating,especially electrolytic on the walls of members exposed in service to frictional forces

Abstract

Abstract 1. DEVICE FOR FORMING A COATING, ESPECIALLY AN ELECTROLYTIC COATING, ON THE INNER SURFACES OF IDENTICAL MEMBERS EXPOSED IN SERVICE TO FRICTIONAL FORCES, SAID DEVICE COMPRISING: MEANS FOR STACKING SEVERAL SAID MEMBERS SO THAT THE SURFACES OF THE MEMBERS, ORIENTED TRANSVERSELY WITH RESPECT TO THE DIRECTION OF STACKINGN, ARE CONSTITUTED BY SURFACES WHICH ARE NOT EXPOSED IN SERVICE TO FRICTIONAL FORCES, SEPARATING MEANS BEING PROVIDED BETWEEN THE STACKED MEMBERS, SAID STACKED MEMBERS THUS DEFINING AN INNER FREE SPACE, STACK CLAMPING MEANS, SEALING MEANS ARRANGED BETWEEN THE SURFACE ORIENTED TRANSVERSELY WITH RESPECT TO THE DIRECTION OF STACKING, BATH, AND BATH, AND ELECTRICAL CONTACT MEANS FOR THE PASSAGE OF ELECTRICAL CURRENT FROM ONE STACK MEMBER TO THE OTHER, THESE CONTACT MEANS BEING ARRANGED BETWEEN SAID TRANSVERSELY ORIENTED SURFACES, SAID DEVICE BEING ARRANGED TO ENABLE THE IMMERSION OF THE STACK IN A TREATEMENT BATH CONTAINED IN A VAT AND SO THAT THE ELECTRICAL CONTACT MENS ARE ARRANGED INSIDE THE OUTER CONTOUR OF SAID SURFACES OF THE TRANSVERSELY ORIENTED MEMBERS WITH RESPECT TO THE DIRECTION OF STACKING, THE SEALING MEANS BEING PROVIDED COMPLETELY SURROUNDING THE ELECTRICAL CONTACT MEANS SO AS TO INSULATE THE LATTER FROM THE OUTER, AND IF NECESSARY, THE INNER SPACE OF THE STACK.
