(EP709904-A1)      The part of an accumulator plate where the connection lug is to be formed is made of a plastic mesh (12). It may be metallised with Cu and Pb-Sn alloy. This part of the plate is fed between two metal strips (13,14) through a set of rollers (15,16) where the strips are forced into the plastic. Heat is applied to at least one roller in order to soften the strips but without harming the plastic mesh. The lug is then formed on the plate by cutting in a stamping machine (21).    ADVANTAGE -   A stable, solid and mainly metallic lug is formed on the plate using a plastic mesh which is not damaged during the process A conduction bridge of Pb (alloy) can be easily cast onto the lug.
