PIECE-BY-PIECE FEEDER OF ACCUMULATOR PLATES Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: electrical engineering; industrial manufacture of lead-acid accumulator plates. SUBSTANCE: device has plate-accumulating dispenser and separatingmechanism. The latter is made in the form of column-mounted rod with limiting stops incorporating brackets joined with the latter and part-separating tool made in the form of lever-mounted needles. Levers are installed on brackets for turning about pins towards dispenser wall in horizontal plane and for engaging the stops. Needles are placed at acute angle to dispenser axis. Ends of limiting stops are protruding forward or arranged level with tops of needles with levers in initial position. Device provides for separating lead-acid accumulator plates wetted after molding. This is ensured due to the fact that pricking plate eyes with plate-separating tool at certain angle builds up push-apart force providing for engagement of part of plate eye body. EFFECT: improved operating reliability of device. 4 dwg
