Abstract: A heat sealing machine for joining a battery casing and battery cover selectively operable in either a heating mode or a bonding mode comprising a battery casing station, a battery cover station and a battery casing/cover heater station operatively supported on a machine support frame, the battery casing station including a substantially horizontal support member to support the battery casing, the battery casing/cover heating station including a heater support frame movable between a first and second position pivotally mounted on the machine support frame having a casing/cover heater mounted on one end thereof and a counter balance mounted on the opposite end thereof, the battery cover station including a battery cover support frame movable between a first and second position pivotally mounted on the machine support frame having a battery cover support to support the battery cover pivotally attached to one end thereof and a counter balance mounted on the opposite end thereof, the machine support frame includi

Abstract: A heat sealing machine for joining a battery casing and battery cover comprising a battery casing heating station and a battery cover preheating station operatively supported on a machine support frame, the battery casing heating station including a battery casing heater support frame pivotally mounted on the machine support frame having a battery casing heater pivotally attached to one end thereof and a counter balance mounted on the opposite end thereof, the battery cover preheating station including a battery support frame having a battery cover preheater pivotally attached to one end thereof and a counter balance mounted on the opposite end thereof, the machine support frame including a plurality of rollers for lateral movement of the individual battery casings thereon to move the heated battery casing laterally from the battery casing heating station to the battery cover preheating station to receive the preheated battery cover, such that the upper periphery of the battery casing is heated by the battery

Abstract: A battery cell soldering apparatus for coupling a plurality of battery cells within a battery casing comprising a support platform and a battery casing holder wherein the support platform operatively supports a soldering block including a plurality soldering elements coupled to an electrical source together with a cooling means and control panel to selectively control the heating and cooling of the soldering block when the battery cells within the battery casing are held inverted in operative engagement with the plurality of soldering elements by the battery casing holder.

Abstract: A battery casing salvage machine comprising a plurality of discrete stations disposed in operative communication by a conveyor means to sequentially remove the original cover from the enclosed battery case and rebuild the battery case and battery cell partitions. The plurality of discrete stations includes a first station comprising a first cutting means including a saw cutting means to remove at least a portion of the original battery cover and the upper portion of the original battery case, a second station comprising a second cutting means including a bevel cutting means to remove the remaining portion of the original battery cover, and a third station comprising a third cutting means including at least one drill means to undercut the battery cell partitions where the cell connectors are fused together. The battery casing salvage machine further includes an automatic feed means disposed in operative relationship to the first station to continuously feed battery casings thereto.
