Abstract
An edge protector 7 for electrodes 1, comprises first and second elongate elements 8, 9, both of superficially electrically insulating material, the first element 8 having a generally "H"-shaped cross-section so as to provide open slots on opposite sides, one slot defined between a pair of outer jaws 12 and the other slot defined between a pair of inner jaws 10, a bare or suitably gasketed edge 6 of an electrode 1 being insertable into and located within the inner jaws 10, and the second element 9 being constituted by a member so dimensioned as to be an interference fit within the outer jaws 12, whereby the outer jaws 12 are forced further apart with the result that the outer jaws 12 endeavour to close the inner jaws 10 to form a seal to prevent electrolyte from wetting the edge 6 of the electrode 1.
