Method and apparatus for casting straps onto storage battery plates

摘要

A method and apparatus for preparing connecting straps and end terminals for lead batteries by filling selected cavities of the mold is disclosed. The mold has cavities for casting connecting straps and an end terminal. Molten lead is filled up to an amount of lead sufficient to fill the preselected cavities of the mold. The content of the mold is brought together with inverted plate lugs of grouped battery plates to fuse the plate lugs together with the content of the mold prior to solidification. The method and apparatus includes a first mold block having three mold cavities in an upper face thereof, whereby two preselected cavities of the three mold cavities are translationally aligned to be filled with lead.
