PURPOSE:To increase productivity by distributing lead particles supplied from a weighing mechanism to a comb teeth-shaped casting mold arranged in a strap forming part of a lead-acid battery. CONSTITUTION:Lead particles a made of pure lead or a lead alloy are fed to a weighing apparatus 2 of a weighing mechanism B from a parts feeder 1 of a supply mechanism A. When the weight of the lead particles a reaches suitable weight for forming a strap, the supply of the lead particles a is discontinued. The bottom of the weighing apparatus 2 is opened and the lead particles a drop into a distribution measure 3. The distribution measure 3 is moved with an X-Y table 4 and reaches a comb teeth-shaped casting mold 6, with which lugs c are engaged, on an assembly table 5 on which a plate group b of a lead-acid battery is placed. The bottom of the distribution measure 3 is opened and the lead particles a are supplied into the comb teeth-shaped casting mold 6, a worker melts the surfaces of the lugs with a burner and also melts the lead particles a to form a strap. Productivity is increased. |
