This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18032734 titled 'Method And Apparatus For Manufacturing Unit Cell

Simplified Explanation

The present invention is an apparatus for manufacturing a unit cell.

  • The apparatus includes two separators that can move in a longitudinal direction and are cut at intervals between adjacent electrodes.
  • There is a first roller positioned on one side of the separators and a second roller positioned on the opposite side.
  • The second roller is aligned with the first roller along an axis and has an oval shape with a long axis and a short axis.
