ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is apparatus for transporting battery plate grids which include a lug and which are transported from a magazine, which apparatus comprises a rail supporting a grid lug for movement of the grid lug along the rail from a pick-up station adjacent the magazine, through a transfer station, and to a delivery station, structure for supporting a suction cup for movement parallel to the rail and from a first position wherein the suction cup engages the grid lug at the pick-up station to a second position spaced from the first position and wherein the grid lug is located at the transfer station, for movement transversely to the rail from the second position to a third position, and thereafter for movement to the first position, a stripping member for stripping the grid lug from the suction cup in response to movement of the suction cup from the second position to the third position, and a valve connected to the suction cup for applying suction at the suction cup during movement of the suction cup from the first position to the second position so as thereby to transport the grid in common with movement of the suction cup from the pick-up station to the transfer station.
