Abstract: The holding device is formed of an elongated bar with slots to receive a base of the parts to be electroplated and contact strips in the slots to electrically contact the received parts. Resilient electrical contact-making elements are disposed in facing relation to the contact strips to clamp the parts in place and to provide an additional electrical contact. The device also includes a plastic cover over the contact bar and resilient elements to protect the bar and elements. The bar is also provided with a hook at one end for securement to a frame for electroplating.
