Abstract
An electrode mixture paste () is applied on both sides of a strip of core material () made of porous metal sheet that is running along its lengthwise direction. The paste-coated core material () is pressed with press rollers () alternately from opposite sides once or more, after which the paste-coated core material () is passed through the gap between a pair of scraper tools () to adjust the coating thickness of the paste (), while the position of the core material () is restricted with comb-shaped projections (or), so that, even though the projections () are distanced from each other sufficiently to allow weld points of the core material () to pass through, the coating thickness is precisely regulated. Therefore, a method of applying an electrode mixture paste is realized, with which coating thickness is precisely adjusted and, even in a continuous production process in which core materials are connected together by welding, production failures due to weld points being stuck are prevented.
