Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of battery stacker machines, including z-fold stacker machines, configured to provide a rolling transfer of a battery layer so as to reduce scrubbing. In some embodiments, the layer is flexed onto an arcuate surface using a vacuum or other force. The arcuate surface is then rotated to release the layer at a desired transfer location. For instance, the desired transfer location may be on top of a stack or onto another arcuate gripper surface.

Abstract: A Bowden cable adjuster is self adjusting. This comprises a starlock washer (34) having prongs engaged with a tube (26) which forms a continuation of the Bowden cable sleeve, and which locks on that tube and allows only unidirectional movement when the prongs ease contact with tube. Release member (34) is displaced to the right in the Figure by contact with for example the end of the Bowden inner wire when adjustment is necessary and its other end displaces the prongs for release. Springs (44 46) keep the parts together and provide for the movement of the tube (26) when adjustment occurs.

Abstract: A dispenser from which may be pulled individual, moist, non-woven fabric wipes, comprising: a container body; a linked succession of the moist, non-woven fabric wipes located generally within the container body; a container lid removably attached over an open upper end of the body; a wall surrounding a central portion of the lid which the central portion includes an orifice to receive the end wipe in the succession of wipes; the orifice having both a fixed length and a fixed breadth and approaching at its edges the surrounding wall; and temporary closure and sealing members locatable at an upper edge of the surrounding wall to close the orifice between dispensations.
