ELECTRODE PLATE CARRIER DEVICE

PURPOSE:To arrange plural electrode plates effectively by providing an interval between the electrode plates automatically while they are carried even in the case where they are carried on a chain conveyor totally. CONSTITUTION:A pair of endless chains 3 are stretched on each of a pair of drive sprockets 1 and a pair of driven sprockets 2. The endless chains 3 move in a direction of an arrow A, and its motion speed is set at v2. An electrode plate 9 is carried as its edge part is stopped at an upper part of the endless chains 3. On the inner side of each endless chain 3, a pair of wheels 5 are provided to be protruded from the upper part of the endless chain 3. Plural teeth 7 to get in friction-contact with the edge part of the electrode part 9 are formed at a constant interval at a thin pitch. The wheels 5 are driven to rotate at a slower circumferential speed v1 than the motion speed v2 of the endless chain 3.
