AUSRICHTEVORRICHTUNG.

摘要

This invention relates to apparatus for aligning groups of plates and separators in a group for use in an accumulator battery and can more broadly relate to general alignment apparatus. In one construction the alignment apparatus (19) has a table (20) which is mounted on a frame, which can be lifted by an hydraulic ram (21) and vibrated by a vertically acting low frequency vibrator (22) and a cyclically horizontally acting vibrator (23). A head (24) is provided with lug aligning walls, (25, 26) which align the plates (31), whilst walls (17 and 18) provide lateral alignment of the separators (30). Weights (27 and 27A) act on top of the plates (31) and separators (30) respectively to provide vertical alignment. The combined vibrations produced by the vibrators (22, 23) free the plates and separators to allow these alignments to occur.
