ABSTRACT:
A floating cover that is spaced inwardly from the side of an upright tank is electrically grounded to the tank by a plurality of cable loops disposed in substantially vertical planes around the cover and spanning the space between it and the tank side wall. One side of each loop is secured to the side of the cover while the opposite side of the loop engages the side of the tank. The loops are compressed laterally between the cover and the tank side wall to maintain sliding electrical contact with that wall as the cover moves in the tank.
