Abstract

Apparatus for forming stacks of accumulator plates having an endless horizontal conveyor device (13) for accepting and removing the stacks, whcih are each formed from a predetermined number of plates. To the conveyor device, a device for transferring sets of plates (9) is assigned that can be moved in the vertical direction between, in relation to the conveyor device, a raised position and a lowered transfer position. While in the raised position, the transfer device (9) can be charged alternately and cyclically from magazines (2, 6) located opposite one another in pairs with a negative plate, a separator plate, a positive plate and a separator plate, the transfer device (9) being capable of being lowered stepwise in accordance with the height of a set of plates. While in the lowered transfer position, the transfer device transfers to the intermittently movable conveyor device, the stack of plates formed on said transfer device from a predetermined number of sets of plates.
