Appl. No.:

7/581599

Inventors:

Ellis G. Wheadon - Bernville PA
Larry L. Forrer - Reading PA

Assignee:

Caltec International, Inc. - Temple PA

International Classification:

B23P 1900

US Classification:

29730

Abstract:

A method for the manufacture of lead-acid batteries and associated apparatus and a lead-acid battery design resulting therefrom is disclosed. The method involves providing a battery grid and pasting the grid with a battery paste such that a profiled and tapered battery plate is formed. This battery plate is wrapped onto a coil and cured in curing apparatus. A battery element is formed using coils of the finished plate stock, separator material, and winged end plate. After this, several battery elements are then placed into a battery container.

Assignee:

Exide Corporation - Reading PA

International Classification:

H01M 202
H01M 204

US Classification:

429187

Abstract:

A storage battery and handle assembly includes a battery housing having a pair of side walls, a pair of end walls, a bottom wall and a cover. Each end wall has a socket formed by a pair of flanges parallel to and spaced from the one end wall, the flanges having edges facing each other and defining a narrow slot therebetween opening into a wider slot formed by the flanges and the end wall. The end wall is also provided with a horizontal rib located below but in general vertical alignment with the wider slot. A flexible strap with relatively rigid connectors at each end thereof is employed, each connector including a plate portion with a strip extending across a bottom of the plate portion, the strip extending beyond side edges and a front face of the plate portion, and lying flush with a back face of the plate portion, thereby forming a smooth horizontal shoulder extending across the front face of the plate portion. The plate portion extends into the wider groove, with the smooth horizontal shoulder in flush engagement with lower edge surfaces of the pair of flanges, and with a lower edge of the strip engaged with a top side of the rib.
