Abstract
According to the invention, there is provided a protector strip (10) for an edge zone of an electrode plate (40), said protector strip (10) including a first channel shaped member (11) of relatively resilient material adapted, in use, to engage over the edge zone of the electrode plate, and a second channel shaped member (12) of relatively more rigid material separate to said first channel shaped member (11) adapted, in use, to engage over the first channel shaped member (11) to press at least a portion of said first channel shaped member (11) into sealing engagement with the edge zone of the electrode plate (40). There is also provided a protector strip (10) for an edge zone of an electrode plate (40), said protector strip (10) being formed by modular sections (28) adapted to be successively joined by a joint arrangement (29,30), each said modular section (28) having a channel shaped formation defining an inner groove (13) adapted in use to fit over the edge zone of the electrode plate (40), said joint arrangement (29,30) permitting one or more of said modular sections (28) to be removed and replaced without needing to replace all of the protector strip (10).
