ABSTRACT:
An anode and mounting bracket assembly is designed to seat quickly and easily on cylindrical or tubular underwater structures. The anodes span between end plates which include notches or recesses in which the tubular structure seats. The recesses include bell-mouth openings for ease of positioning. Each plate includes a pivoting gate including a saddle receiving the structure. Each plate also includes pointed bolts aimed over-center the gate pivots. When the brackets are positioned on the tubular structure the gates swing to a closed or locked position, the tightening of the bolts locks the gates closed. In such locked over-center position the gates block the bell-mouth openings of the plate recesses. The pointed bolts provide good electrical contact and the assembly may be easily removed by loosening the bolts to clear the gates. The assembly is then pulled from the structure.
