Abstract
A grid array for use in assembling a multicell electric battery comprises a plurality of grids preferably arranged in two spaced parallel lines, adapted to provide a plate for every cell of the battery. Each grid is connected to one or more adjacent grids by a combination of integral bridge pieces and sufficient temporary links to maintain all the grids of the array in their desired configuration.
Claims24
A grid array for use in providing plates for multicell electric storage battery by superimposing a plurality of finite lengths of the grid array to form a laminated structure, the grid array comprising a plurality of spaced grids arranged in a common plane, in two interconnected side-by-side lines, so that each grid in each said length of the array can be formed into one plate for each cell of the battery without altering the spacial relationship between them, with each grid in each line in the array being connected to at least one adjacent grid in the same line by at least one temporary link and with at least one grid in each line in each length of the grid array being connected to an adjacent grid in the other line by an integral permanent bridge piece.
