Fiber-structure electrode support with welded-on current discharge lug

Abstract

A fiber-structure electrode support of metallized synthetic fibers with reinforced border and with welded-on, thin current discharge lug is produced by a method in which, after the welding operation, the previously straight current discharge lug having a rectangular cross-section is impressed in a first zone in parallel and strongly into the fiber-structure electrode support. This region is adjoined by a second zone, where the current discharge lug rises at an inclination of 10.degree. to 30.degree. with respect to the first zone running parallel to the lower side of the fiber-structure electrode support, so that the border of the current discharge lug runs out in three directions to the right, downwards and to the left, starting from the surface of the current discharge lug which overlaps the fiber-structure electrode support, in a gradual trasition. At this border 20% to 30% of the current discharge lug is pressed into the fiber-structure electrode support and welded. The run-out of the current discharge lug continues in the three directions after the end of the current discharge lug in the fiber-structure electrode support without any step, until the natural height of the surface of the fiber structure is reached.
