  "textContent": "The present invention describes a battery cast-on-strap machine unloading apparatus (10). The apparatus (10) comprises a first and a second unit (20a, 20b). Each unit (20a, 20b) comprises a rotary drive mechanism (22a, 22b); and, a pinion (24a, 24b) co-axial with and directly driveable by the rotary drive mechanism (22a, 22b). The apparatus (10) further comprises an elongate rack (12). The rack (12) comprises teeth (14) along a first side (12a) and an opposing second side (12b). The first and second units (20a, 20b) are mounted adjacent to each other on the rack (12). Operation of each drive mechanism (22a, 22b) causes rotation of the respective pinion (24a, 24b) to be converted into linear motion of the respective unit (20a, 20b) along the rack (12). Adjacent rotary drive mechanisms (22a, 22b) are located on opposing sides of the rack (12), such that the pinion (24a) of the first unit (20a) meshes with the teeth (14) along the first side (12a) of the rack (12), and the pinion (24b) of the adjacent second unit (20b) meshes with the teeth (14) along the opposing second side (12b) of the rack (12).",
