Zusammenfassung:A vibratory tool for the brush electrotreatment of metal and especially for electroplating at increased rates of metal deposition as compared with non-vibratory tools. In one form, the apparatus comprises a hand tool having a plating terminal that is preferably fixed with respect to the tool. A housing encompasses the plating terminal and carries a porous dielectric cover in contact with the plating terminal. The cover is wet by electrolyte and rubbed over a workpiece. Power vibratory means positively moves the housing and porous cover with respect to the plating terminal while maintaining the contacting relation between the cover and terminal, so that in use the cover is vibrated with respect to both the workpiece and the plating terminal.
