Abstract: The method of assembling banks of battery electrodes, comprises the steps of sorting electrodes into an odd number of groups of different thicknesses (thin, medium, thick) where the thickness of two medium electrodes is equal to the sum of thicknesses of one thin electrode and one thick electrode which are equidistant from the medium electrode. Installing in alternating polarity piles of medium electrodes in any number, whereas the piles of equidistant thin and thick electrodes, are installed in pairs only. The electrodes, each of alternate polarity, are taken simultaneously, one from each pile, and moved in a horizontal plane, and are then deposited consecutively into a bank or pack of a preset or desired thickness.

Abstract: The device or apparatus for assembling banks of battery electrodes comprises a bed which mounts feeders with electrode-containing holders, and the feeders incorporating a mechanism for maintaining automatically the upper level of the electrode pile in the holders. Disposed above the feeders is an assembling mechanism comprising a shaft, one end of which is connected to a drive ensuring its vertical reciprocating motion in alternation with a full revolution around its axis, whereas the other end of the shaft carries radially-mounted grips made with a provision for being disengaged at a certain working stroke of the assembling mechanism by a readjustable kinematic linkage which can disengage part of the grips during the preset working stroke of the assembling mechanism.

Abstract: An alkaline nickel-cadmium storage battery whose container accommodates cells connected in-series by intercell connectors, the jars of said cells containing positive cerametallic plates in combination with pasted cadmium-oxide negative plates with separators in between; said plates are combined into groups with the aid of terminal posts.
