ABSTRACT:
Battery plate elements and separator elements are maintained in racks along opposite sides of a conveyor. Pivotally swingable vacuum pickup heads serve to withdraw plates and separators from their racks and deposit them onto the conveyor. A plurality of plates or separators are withdrawn simultaneously, and the conveyor is indexed from withdrawal station to withdrawal station for stacking the plates and separators one upon the other, alternately, whereby at any given time a plurality of plate and separator sandwiches are being formed, in different progressive stages. Capability is provided for adjustments for handling different sized plates and separators as well as the number of elements in a given stack. Synchronous drive means and adjustable vacuum means are disclosed.
