  • Battery strap handle
    Patent number: 5670274
    Abstract: A storage battery and handle assembly includes a battery housing having a pair of side walls, a pair of end walls, a bottom wall and a cover. Each end wall has a socket formed by a pair of flanges parallel to and spaced from the one end wall, the flanges having edges facing each other and defining a narrow slot therebetween opening into a wider slot formed by the flanges and the end wall. The end wall is also provided with a horizontal rib located below but in general vertical alignment with the wider slot. A flexible strap with relatively rigid connectors at each end thereof is employed, each connector including a plate portion with a strip extending across a bottom of the plate portion, the strip extending beyond side edges and a front face of the plate portion, and lying flush with a back face of the plate portion, thereby forming a smooth horizontal shoulder extending across the front face of the plate portion.

  • Method for the manufacture of lead-acid batteries and an associated apparatus and associated lead-acid battery
    Patent number: 5276960
    Abstract: A method for the manufacture of lead-acid batteries and associated apparatus and a lead-acid battery design resulting therefrom is disclosed. The method involves providing a battery grid and pasting the grid with a battery paste such that a profiled and tapered battery plate is formed. This battery plate is wrapped onto a coil and cured in curing apparatus. A battery element is formed using coils of the finished plate stock, separator material, and winged end plate. After this, several battery elements are then placed into a battery container.
