1. Apparatus for electroplating a metallic deposit on interconnected or bandoliered elongate metallic and/or metallized products, said apparatus comprising:
- (a) first means for guiding and displacing the elongate products along a first predetermined path;
(b) a plurality of masking devices each one of which comprises a solid, non-flexible pin surrounded by a material in the shape of a tube, said plurality of masking devices being attached in a regular pattern to an endless member;
(c) second means for guiding and displacing said endless member along a second predetermined path a part of which coincides that a part of said first predetermined path so that each one of the elongate products is received between and contacts two adjacent ones of said plurality of masking devices; and
(d) third means for supplying electrolyte to the elongate products while the elongate products are moving along said part of said first predetermined path.
