  • Method and machine for manufacturing a fibre electrode
    Patent number: 11276847
    Abstract: A method for forming a connection such as an electrical connection, to a fibre material electrode element comprises moving a length of the fibre material relative to a pressure injection stage and pressure impregnating by a series of pressure injection pulses a lug material into a lug zone part of the fibre material to surround and/or penetrate fibres of the fibre material and form a lug strip in the lug zone. The fibre material may be a carbon fibre material and the lug material a metal such as Pb or a Pb alloy. Apparatus for forming an electrical connection to a fibre material electrode element is also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 8, 2019
    Date of Patent: March 15, 2022
    Assignee: ArcActive Limited
    Inventors: John Abrahamson, Shane Christie, Hannu Out, Euan Scott Heffer, Yoon San Wong
  • Lead-acid battery electrode manufacture
    Patent number: 10903480
    Abstract: A method for impregnating an active paste into a fibre material in the manufacture of an electrode of a lead acid battery or cell, comprises moving a fibre material through a confined pasting zone also containing a Pb-based paste, while vibrating and maintaining a pressure on the paste, to continuously impregnate the paste into the fibre material. A paste impregnating machine is also disclosed, with a fibre material feed system, and which may use a lug along the fibre material to draw the fibre material through the paste application stage.
