GRAVITY-CONTACT SACRIFICIAL ANODE
The invention relates to a novel model of sacrificial anode that obviates the need for welding and reduces fastening time. This novel anode model has a metal appendage that can be hook-shaped and is designed to engage and provide electric contact between the anode and the jacket, or any other part of the structure that requires protection. The hook contact region has a pointed device (3) to enable full electric contact between the anode and the jacket element. This electric contact is therefore made under the weight of the anode itself, which may also include galvanically inert ballast (6) to guarantee the contact until the end of the service life of the anode.
