Abstract: The method comprises the steps of inserting plate lugs in the openings made in the bottom of at least one elementary mould, connecting together the plate lugs by rods formed by melting lead, and making the connection between the rods associated with plates of opposite polarities of two adjacent elements of the accumulator; the said elementary mould comprising a channel common to two adjacent elements of the accumulator. A varied version of an embodiment consists in implementing an elementary mould comprising two channels, each of them having the plate lugs of same polarity fitted in them. The invention is for use in the accumulator industry.

Abstract: A separator for a galvanic element wherein partially fused glass fibers are coated by a coating consisting of grains of thermo-hardening synthetic material immersed in a natural or synthetic latex to mechanically reinforce the knots in the glass fiber network resulting from partial fusion of the glass fibers without blocking the pores of the partially fused fiber network.
