MACHINE AND METHOD FOR CONTINUOUSLY CASTING BATTERY GRIDS

摘要

AJD:jss MACHINE AND METHOD FOR CONTINUOUSLY CASTING BATTERY GRIDS A machine for casting battery grids has a rotary drum, the pattern of the battery grid cavity being recessed into the outer periphery thereof. An arcuate shoe is fixedly positioned against the drum in sliding contact with the outer peripheral surface thereof. The shoe has an internal passageway connected to an orifice slot which extends to the periphery of the drum. The orifice slot is connected at one end to a source of molten lead under pressure and at its other end to a restricted outlet which maintains the molten lead in the orifice slot under pressure and controls the rate of flow of the molten lead through the orifice slot. ------------ o ------------
