Improved positive electrode means for use in a lead-acid battery includes a shaped grid structure, a self-registering plastic grid complement member selectively overlying portions of the shaped grid structure, tube means engaged around depending portions of the grid complement member and active material confined within the tube means. Assembly of these constituent parts is characterized by a first insertion of the shaped grid structure into the grid complement member thereby to produce an angular displacement of self-registering side portions of the grid complement member; further advancement of the shaped grid structure into the grid complement member enables the angularly displaced side portions of the grid complement to revert to their normal position in self-registering relationship to the grid structure.
Improved tubular positive electrode means for use in a lead-acid storage battery, said electrode means including a grid structure consisting of a top bar, a lug portion extending from one side thereof, and spaced apart spine portions extending outwardly from an opposite side thereof, said top bar presenting shaped spaced apart surfaces of a predetermined configuration, a plastic grid complement member for selectively enclosing portions of the said grid structure, said grid complement being formed with spaced apart angularly displaceable side portions which are selectively self-registering with the predetermined shaped surfaces of the grid structure when these components are in assembled relationship with one another.
