Foreign art collection for electrolytic apparatus under the class definition in which an electrical current or potential is utilized or applied to prevent corrosion, scale formation, or other objectionable action in or on any object in order to neutralize or correct such action when the object is in normal use. The current or potential impressed may be for the purpose of neutralization or it may be employed to give
the object to be protected an electrical condition effective for the prevention or modification of objectionable action.
(1) Note. This collection does not include apparatus for the electrolytic treatment of fluids in order to modify their properties so that they do not cause or accelerate electrolytic action. Such electrolytic apparatus is provided for in the appropriate subclass which is dependent upon the structure or character of the apparatus employed.
(2) Note. Combinations of object protection means as herein defined and outside art devices are here included when no more of said art device is specified than is necessary to provide a setting or locus for the protection means.
