Electroplating anode assembly

Abstract

An electroplating anode assembly includes primarily a bracket on which plural anode elements are disposed, with which anode element controlling the on or off of the circuit, respectively. The electroplating anode assembly enables a variety of distribution of the electric lines of force to be formed in an electroplating bath through energizing one or any number of anode elements. In particular, when the shape of the product to be electroplated or the configuration that the product is suspended and disposed is changed, the corresponding distribution of the electric lines of force can be formed only through a simple way of switching an electric current supplying loop, so as to secure the quality of electroplating of the product using a more aggressive and reliable means.
