1. Electrolysis device for the production of aluminum comprising a pot shell having an inner lining defining an opening through which at least one anode block is designed to be moved, said at least one anode block being suspended from an anode support forming with said at least one anode block an anode assembly movable relative to the pot shell, said device further comprising moving means comprising at least one anode receiver designed to work in conjunction with said anode support to move the anode assembly in a substantially vertical direction, said anode support being designed to be connected to anode conductors to route an electrolysis current to said at least one anode block,
characterized in that said at least one anode receiver is placed outside a space defined by a top of said at least one anode block during movement of said at least one anode block through the opening, said at least one anode receiver having a contact surface working in conjunction with a corresponding anode contact surface of the anode support to establish with said anode support an electrical contact to route the electrolysis current between said at least one anode receiver and the anode assembly and a mechanical contact to move said anode assembly in a substantially vertical direction.
