ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for the automatic assembly and closure of rechargeable cells packaged in a cylindrical casing, wherein the cell casing, containing a coiled electrode assembly, is advanced by a horizontal rotary index table through a series of operational locations. A connector tab electrically connected to and extending from the top of the electrode coil is automatically oriented at one of the locations and is thereafter welded to a cover assembly at another location to which the cover assembly is advanced by a cover placement including a vertical rotary indexing wheel moving synchronously, or in timed sequence, with the horizontal index table. The vertical rotary index wheel includes forwardly extending spindles spaced about the periphery, each spindle releasably and rotatably carrying a cover assembly. The wheel moves the cover assemblies through a sealant applicator station prior to advancing them for placement at the welding location. After welding, the cover assembly is automatically folded down into the open end of the casing; the casing's top edge is then folded over the cover, and the cell is sized to complete the manufacturing operation.
