Electrolytic cell
First Claim
1. In an electrolytic apparatus comprising a cell chamber and means for passing an electrolyte therethrough, said cell provided with sets of anode plates, each of which is disposed between two sets of cathode plates and each of which is connected to a current-feeding center pin, said anode plates being mutually staggered electrode plates which protrude into the gaps between plates having the opposite polarity, the improvement wherein said center pin is provided with laterally disposed contact straps, which are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the pin, each of said straps having an anode plate secured thereto.

Abstract
In electrolytic apparatus comprising cell chambers through which is passed an electrolyte and in which sets of anode plates are provided, each of which are connected to current-feeding center pins, and the mutually staggered electrode plates protrude into the gaps between plates having the opposite polarity. To ensure a simple, quick and reliable installation and removal of the anode plates, the center pin is provided with contact straps, which are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the pin and serve to secure the anode plate. The contact straps are suitably spaced about 180° apart and have at least one opening, which consists preferably of a tapped bore.
The electrolytic apparatus is used in processes of producing alkali chlorate by the electrolytic decomposition of aqueous alkali chloride solutions.
