In a method and apparatus for alternately stacking finite numbers of n+1 negative battery plates 12 and n positive battery plates 14 a negative battery plate 12 is provided at both the top and bottom ends of the stack 16. The apparatus 10 includes a pair of stacking stations 18, 20 arranged in a side-by-side manner, a transfer device 22 for dropping negative plates 12 at an assembling point 24, and a moving conveyor belt 26 for transporting positive plates 14 to the assembling point 24 and interposing a single positive plate 14 between each of the negative plates 12 at the assembling point 24. The alternately arranged positive and negative plates 14, 12 are continuously fed first to one stacking station 18 or 20 and then to the other stacking station 20 or 18. In order to provide a negative plate 12 at both the top and bottom ends of the resulting stacks 16, two negative plates 12 are dropped at the assembling point 24 whenever the required number of positive plates 14 for a stack 16 has passed the assembling point 24. One of the negative plates 12 is directed to one stacking station 18 or 20 and the other negative plate 12 is directed to the other stacking station 20 or 18. Thus, the resulting stacked group 16 of negative and positive plates 12, 14 is provided with a negative plate 12 at both the top and bottom of the stack 16. The resulting stacked groups 16 of negative and positive plates 12, 14 are then removed from their respective stacking stations 18 and 20 by take-off conveyors 28 and 28a. <IMAGE> |
