Abstract

Method and apparatus for pasting a porous structure, such as a battery support plate, which provides for inserting pasty material from a vibrating hopper continuously and evenly as a sandwich filling of controlled thickness between two conveyer strips driven at the same speed to deliver pasty material with a predefined thickness and with a flat translational motion onto a substantially horizontal platen; removing the conveyor strip opposite that in contact with the platen to uncover the upper face of the pasty material; bringing the porous structure level with the platen onto the upper surface of the pasty material; pressing the pasty material into the porous structure; and removing the pasted porous structure from the lower strip. The porous structure can be simultaneously pasted on its upper side using a secondary conveyer strip.
