Abstract
A jig may include a pair of press blocks configured to hold a stack of battery cells. A clamp is provided on the press block(s). The clamp is configured to position the band with respect to the stack. A hinge mechanism connects the clamp to the press block(s) such that the clamp is pivotable. A cam mechanism is provided on the hinge mechanism and configured to move the clamp along a pivot axis according to a pivot position of the clamp. When the clamp is at a use position, the band may be interposed between the clamp and the stack in a direction parallel to the pivot axis. The cam mechanism moves the clamp in a direction away from the stack while the clamp is moving from a retracted position to the use position and move the clamp toward the stack when the clamp reaches the use position.
