ABSTRACT:
A carrier rack is provided for transporting electric storage battery plates through the storage battery manufacturing process. The rack is provided with spaced vertical slots for supporting the plates in upright parallel positions spaced from one another, with the positive and negative plates alternately interspersed with one another, and with the lugs of the positive plates extending upwardly along one side of the rack, and the lugs of the negative plates extending upwardly along the other side of the rack. The lugs on each side of the rack are interconnected at the top of the rack by respective ones of a pair of conductive bars. The rack is immersed in an electrolyte, and an electric voltage is applied across the bars to cause charging current to flow through the plates. Strip support members are provided which may be received in openings in the sides of the rack at different predetermined levels, to provide supports for the plates within the rack at selected levels, depending upon the height of the particular plates being processed. The rack is readily demountable, and it may easily be adapted to receive plates of different widths, merely by interposing different end members between the side members. Also, the racks of the invention may be conveniently shipped in a knocked-down condition.
