Abstract: An access device for a materials depository includes a panel member having opposing front and rear faces with a return aperture disposed therethrough, a door having size dimensions capable of fully blocking the return aperture, and a door actuator coupled to the door for causing the door, in response to a command signal, to selectively slide between a blocking position where the return aperture is blocked by the door, and an unblocking position where the return aperture is not blocked by the door. The access device also includes a materials sensor for providing a materials alarm signal that is indicative of a presence of materials intended to be passed through the return aperture. The access device further includes a control system that is responsive to the materials alarm signal, for providing the command signal.

Abstract: A conveyor apparatus transports materials along an incline. The apparatus includes an endless base conveyor belt that is tensioned between lower and upper end rollers and is aligned with the incline. A drive means drives the base belt at a selected speed and in a selected direction along the incline. An endless hanging overhead conveyor belt is provided above the base belt, and has a substantially flat conveyance surface for covering materials placed on the base belt. A drive roller of the hanging overhead belt is coupled to the upper end roller of the base belt so as to drive the hanging overhead belt at a speed and direction similar to that of the base belt. The hanging overhead belt extending toward and in proximity to an input transport conveyor for transporting articles at a speed slower than the speed of the hanging belt.

Abstract: A system for assembling, processing and transferring battery cell elements including a plurality of element assemblers and an exit conveyor having a plurality of element conveying lanes. Each element assembler includes element transfer and processing apparatus comprising an endless chain conveyor having a plurality of longitudinally spaced element carriers adapted to successively engage an element at a loading station, carry the engaged element through a plurality of process stations, and release the element at a discharge station. In the illustrated apparatus, the carriers each engage a loosely assembled element at the loading station, compress the element to final size, and carry the element through an inspection and manual unload station, a plate alignment station, a plate lug brushing station, a plate alignment after brushing station, and a series of tape applicator stations which bind the element in assembled and processed condition. The discharge station of each element assembler includes a transfer mechanism adapted to transfer assembled elements onto a selected one of a plurality of exit conveyor lanes in a manner that enables a uniform supply of elements for subsequent use in an automated battery production line.
