Abstract: A device for fastening at least one plate inside an electrolyte bath and for feeding current thereto, which device comprises at least two electrically-insulated battens which run next to one another and between which the plate should be arranged with the flat sides thereof facing the battens, at least one of said battens comprising an imbedded electrical conductor which can be connected to the current source, and the device further comprises means to push the battens towards one another, said means being completely electrically insulated from the conductor while the means for insuring the electrical contact between the conductor and the plate are comprised of projections extending from that side facing the other batten of the first-mentioned batten with the electrical conductor, said projections contacting the conductor and passing cross-wise through said batten insulation, said projections engaging the plate when clamping said plate between both battens.
