1,165,184. Punching apparatus. SOC. DES ACCUMULATEURS FIXES ET DE TRACTION. 28 July, 1966 [4 March, 1966], No. 17720/69. Divided out of 1,165,183. Heading B4B. An apparatus, Fig. 1, for punching out electrode spacers and applying them to an electrode comprises a plurality of punches 12, a guide for the punches comprising a plate 16 with holes in it in which the punches are slideable, cutting dies 20 in the form of a plate member 18 having holes corresponding in shape and location to the punches and through which the punches are movable, a space 30 between the guide and dies for receiving sheet material and means 24 for positioning an electrode under the dies such that spacers punched from the sheet material may be pressed against the electrode by the punches. The dies may be circular and the guide 16 and dies 18 may be cooled by liquid entering at 28 and leaving at 29. The electrode positioning means may comprise a carrier 24 with clips 25 to hold the electrode in position, slideably mounted on table 21 which is supported on springs. The spacers may be stuck to the electrode by an adhesive activated by heat supplied by heating coil 27, e.g. a steam coil. Spacers may be applied to both sides of an electrode simultaneously by the apparatus illustrated in Fig. 5. |
