MANUFACTURE OF BATTERY

PURPOSE:To surely prevent a sealing agent from sticking to the peripheral part of a container opening by stopping the driving in of a carbon bar electrode into a battery container at a point, where a prescribed amount is driven in, while in said state a sealing agent is applied around the tip part of the carbon bar electrode. CONSTITUTION:Such an assembly is prepared that the hollow part of a cylindrical battery container, manely, a zinc can 1 is filled with a battery composing element 2 such as bottom paper, a black mixture, liner paper and collar paper, while the carbon bar electrode 3 is driven in so much as a prescribed amount and stopped in driving. Said elementary battery is rotated centering around the carbon bar electrode 3 for supplying the sealing agent applying part 4, with the sealing agent to be applied, for instance, wax while continuously sending out a prescribed amount of wax 42 from a nozzle 41 in order to apply wax 42 to the periphery of the tip part of the carbon bar electrode 3 by means of the sealing agent applying part 4. Thereafter, the carbon bar electrode 3 is driven in up to the prescribed position followed by sealing the opening of the zinc can 1 with a sealing plate for finishing a dry cell. Thereby, the wax 42 is pressed to the inside of the sealing plate while showing a liquid leakage preventive effect.
