A cathode assembly for an electrolytic cell, which assembly being especially adapted for diaphragm or membranous electrolytic cells, is comprised of a reinforced internal cathode including fingerlike lateral extensions, such reinforcement comprising vertical and horizontal flat metal strips, and said assembly including electrical and mechanical connections to an external current source and being characterized by reduced electrical resistance and capacity for ready assembly of the internal cathode.

Cathode assembly for an electrolytic cell

An electrolytic cell of the diaphragm type, for electrolysis of alkali chlorides, is provided having a base comprising an insulating material with the said anode extensions passing through it, connecting means are connected to at least one current cooling bar, and a rigid structure with the distributing bar and the base of the cell resting on it, the bar being disposed between the base of the cell and the rigid structure.
