Abstract: Cover for electrolytic batteries, comprising a primary cover adapted to be fixed on a container of electrolytic cells and provided with a plurality of openings for filling with electrolyte for respective electrolytic cells of the container, the walls of the openings being crossed transversely by a common gas collection channel, the cover comprising at least one secondary cover which can be fixed on the upper face of the primary cover to cover the openings, the secondary cover comprising a plurality of caps, each one of the caps being provided with a radial expansion adapted to engage in a gas-tight manner on the wall of the respective opening between the common gas collection channel and the upper face of the primary cover, the caps being not accessible when the secondary cover is fixed on the upper face of the primary cover.

Abstract: A cover for electrolytic batteries, comprising an upper face and a lower face and provided with a plurality of openings for filling with electrolyte for respective electrolytic cells of the container, each one of the openings being surrounded by a wall, the walls of the openings being crossed transversely by a common gas collection channel, which is connected to a seat for a frit, the seat of the frit being arranged on the upper face of the cover, laterally with respect to the common gas collection channel and on a plane which is comprised between the channel and the upper face of the cover.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a lead terminal for an accumulator by plastic deformation on a cold-working apparatus that has a shaping station (2) and at least one deformation station (30. 40, 50, 60, 80) by shaping, at the shaping station, a slug (7) that has a longitudinal extension along a longitudinal axis such as to provide base (9) and contact (8) parts for the terminal and a size commensurate with the size of the terminal end piece to be manufactured; transferring the slug (7) to the deformation station (30, 40. 50, 60, 80); carrying out a first deformation of the slug (7) for inner and outer shaping of its base part (9); and carrying out a second deformation of the slug (7) for performing at least a further inner and outer shaping of the base part (9), the deformations being performed sequentially as progressive deformation steps.

Abstract: An improved container for electric storage batteries is embodied as a single piece of plastic material having a structure consisting of a relatively thin outer coat of said material, which is compact and of high density, and of a larger-thickness inner core made of the same material but of density appreciably lower than that of the outer coat.
