Combination seal and tentering means for electrolysis cells
An electrolysis cell assembly is described comprising: (a) an anode frame, (b) a cathode frame, (c) a separator interposed between the anode and cathode frame, (d) a first seal-tentering means interposed between one side of the separator and the anode frame, the first seal-tentering means comprising a substantially solid member having a first generally planar surface in contact with the separator. A second uneven surface is in contact with the anode frame and a periphery defining a shoulder portion having an inside surface in contact with the outside surface of the anode frame. The solid member is adapted for providing a fluid-tight seal and for tentering the separator between at least two adjacent electrode frame members. (e) a second seal-tentering means interposed between the other side of the separator and the cathode frame, the second seal-tentering means comprising a substantially solid member having a first generally planar surface in contact with the separator. A second uneven surface is in contact with the cathode frame and a periphery defining a shoulder portion having an inside surface in contact with the outside surface of the cathode frame. The solid member is adapted for providing a fluid-tight seal and for tentering the separator between at least two adjacent electrode frame members.
