Device onto which plates can be secured consists of a lower support onto which the plate is placed and an upper securing device (3) to clip the plate in place. Some lateral guide elements (5) and some compensating elements (6), contg. a spring (14), are mounted on the lower support (2). The plates (1) are placed between the lateral guide elments (5) and press against the springs (14). The securing device (3) comprises a number of pinching couples (8,8') mounted on a carryi caryring rack bar (7) and a number of lateral thrust elements (10) arranged to allow the vertical and horizontal positioning of the plate prior to clipping them between the teeth of the pinching couples (8,8'). USE/ADVANTAGE - The device is used for securing plates for subsequent electroplating or other chemical treatments involving successive treatment baths, e.g. boards used for printed circuits. Its design allows the securing of the plates to be carried out automatically with precise positioning of the pinches on the plates and ensures a good transmission of electrical current between the pinches and the plates. Since the securing of the plates can be carried out automatically the handling required at the start and end of treatment is considerably reduced with a consequent reduction in the overall treatment cycle time.
