ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for continuously plating interior surfaces of loose piece electrical terminals is characterized in that loose piece terminals are continuously fed to a continuously rotating mandrel, are held against the mandrel during the plating process by retaining means and are released from the mandrel, the mandrel having a plurality of anode containing nozzles therein, the anodes being mounted for reciprocation into and out of the interior of the terminals that are against the mandrel. A conduit supplies plating solution under pressure through the nozzles and upon the anodes and into the interiors of the terminals in which the anodes are received. The retaining means is an elongated resiliently mounted member which surrounds a portion of a rotating mandrel whereby the loose pieces are held against the mandrel during the plating process wherein the anodes move into the interiors of the terminals, plating solution is injected over the anodes and the anodes are retracted from the terminals, the terminals being released from the mandrel after the anodes have been retracted and the terminals have passed the end of the retaining means.
