Abstract
Apparatus is disclosed for aligning and locating the nipples of an anode rod with the blind bores formed in one surface of an anode block. The apparatus includes a support table mounted for vertical movement on a stand. Alignment means are mounted on the stand above the support table. The alignment means is constituted by a plurality of alignment elements, each of which has the shape of a segment of a funnel. In use, the narrow ends of the alignment elements are introduced into respective bores in the anode block as the support table is moved upwardly. As the support table moves further upwards, carrying the alignment elements therewith, at least some of the nipples of the anode rod engage within the wider ends of the alignment elements, thereby directing the nipples into the bores in the anode block.
