ABSTRACT:
In a system for sequentially processing batteries with battery processing equipment an apparatus is described for retaining each of said batteries in at least one standby position, for advancing each of said batteries to at least one battery processing position, for aligning each of said batteries with respect to said battery processing equipment during the operation of said equipment, and for allowing the discharge of each of said batteries from said battery processing position. Said apparatus comprises a conveyor surface defined by a plurality of transverse rollers, at least two of which rollers which are spaced apart by a distance at least as great as the longitudinal dimension of said batteries to be processed, are adapted for movement with respect to said surface between first normal positions and second stop positions, whereby longitudinal movement of at least two of said batteries along said surface is halted at said standby and said battery positions by said rollers and said stop positions. Actuator means for causing said rollers to move in unison between said normal and said stop positions are described, as well as sensing means for determining the presence of a battery during its movement between said standby and said battery processing positions, said sensing means being adapted to automatically cause said actuator means to move said rollers from said normal position to said stop position in response to said determination. Further features of the present invention include alignment means and other automatic control features which allow for the rapid and efficient sequential processing of batteries by said battery processing equipment.
