Claim 2
Dependent Claim
47 words
An electroplating assembly comprising: a plurality of resiliently deflectable and electrically conducting coil-shaped springs, each of said coil springs having a central axis; and means for mounting said coil-shaped springs in predetermined spaced relationship with the central axis of each of said springs parallel to each other.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
51 words
An electroplating assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein said means for mounting said springs include a base disposed in a plane parallel to the central axes of said springs, said base having at least one opening therein with at least one of said springs overlapping a portion of said opening.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
77 words
An electrical connector electroplating assembly comprising: a base member having a first plurality of parallel axes and a plurality of holes aligned along each of said axes; and a plurality of coil-shaped springs mounted on said base member each of said springs mounted along an axis parallel to said first plurality of axes so that each of said springs overlaps a portion of the holes arranged along a respective adjacent axis of said first plurality of axes.
