Abstract
The method of assembling banks of battery electrodes, comprises the steps of sorting electrodes into an odd number of groups of different thicknesses (thin, medium, thick) where the thickness of two medium electrodes is equal to the sum of thicknesses of one thin electrode and one thick electrode which are equidistant from the medium electrode. Installing in alternating polarity piles of medium electrodes in any number, whereas the piles of equidistant thin and thick electrodes, are installed in pairs only. The electrodes, each of alternate polarity, are taken simultaneously, one from each pile, and moved in a horizontal plane, and are then deposited consecutively into a bank or pack of a preset or desired thickness.
Claims3
A method of selectively assembling a bank of battery electrodes of predetermined thickness for an electrical storage battery, comprising;
- sorting said electrodes according to thin, medium and thick thickness and by polarity into a plurality of stacks so that each of said stacks having electrodes of identical thickness and polarity;
- the thickness of any two electrodes of medium thickness being equal to the sum of thicknesses of a thin electrode and a thick electrode;
- providing separator means about each of the electrodes;
- arranging said stacks in a line and in an alternating sequence of polarity, the stacks of electrodes of medium thickness being of any desired number and the number of stacks of thin electrodes being equal to that of the stacks of thick electrodes;
- and simultaneously picking up one electrode from each stack;
- and subsequently successively delivering and positioning the electrodes one on top of the other to form a bank of battery electrodes of a desired mean arithmetic finished bank thickness.
