Assembling electric storage batteries and a clamp therefor

摘要

A clamp for use in the assembly of multicell electric storage batteries comprises two spaced opposing clamping members each including a plurality of clamping elements which are connected but spaced apart by a gap. The clamping elements are arranged in two spaced parallel lines and are each adapted to contact a surface of a respective cell pack of a battery. Biassing means connects the two clamping members and is adapted to urge each clamping element of each clamping member towards a corresponding clamping element on the other clamping member.
