Abstract
Apparatus for inserting a core member for an electrochemical cell into an open-ended cell casing, including: casing support means; a collet assembly comprised of annular segments movable relative to each other so as to fix the dimension of the perimeter of an interior guiding surface, the guiding surface preferably being radially inwardly tapered; and means for advancing the core member through the collet assembly and into the casing. The apparatus also comprises means for controlling the position of the annular segments of the collet assembly selectively to increase or decrease the perimeter of the guiding surface.
