Title:
COMPOSITE BATTERY PLATE GRID
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS5366537
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A composite battery plate grid and processes for making the same are disclosed. The novel grid is a composite of a flexible electrically non-conductive web material with a plurality of electrically conductive threads interlaced therein. The web material provides structural support for the grid while the electrically conductive threads form electrical connections for collecting current from an active material on the grid. The electrically conductive threads are incorporated within the web material as warp threads in one embodiment and as weft or filler threads in another. A third embodiment discloses the electrically conductive threads integrated as a pattern within the web material in a combination of the warp and weft directions. A process embodiment is described for manufacturing the composite grids which includes weaving the electrically conductive threads together with threads of the web material to form an interlaced matrix of web material and conductor threads in any of the disclosed forms of the structural embodiments. A second process embodiment describes forming the composite grid structures by sewing or inserting the conductor threads into the web material after the material has been woven.
