Patent EP-1307939-A1 (EP)
Title: Method for coating a membrane electrode unit with a catalyst and device for carrying out the method
Inventor: HEMPELMANN ROLF
IPC: H01M8/1004
Filed: 2001-07-21
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for electrochemically depositing a catalyst, especially a noble metal, from a precursor layer which is present on a membrane and in which the catalyst material is present in the form of salts that are soluble in the membrane material. According to the method, the membrane is surrounded by an atmosphere containing water vapour during the deposition process, this atmosphere ensuring the stability and ionic conductibility of the membrane. In contrast to methods used up until now, this prevents the soluble catalyst salt from being dissolved out the precursor layer. The method can be carried out in a simple device comprising a sealable vessel which can be advantageously tempered, a holder for receiving a membrane/precursor unit, a gas supply and electrical contacts.

Abstract: A modular conveyor belt forming a hinge between consecutive belt rows hingedly connected by a rolling hinge pin pair. Hinge eyes along the forward and rearward ends of each row of belt modules include aligned openings for the hinge pins. The belt rows are arranged end-to-end with the hinge eyes of adjacent rows interleaved. The hinge pin pairs are inserted side by side in the passageway formed by the aligned openings of the interleaved hinge eyes. The hinge pin pairs include first and second hinge pins having outer contact surfaces. The openings in the hinge eyes are characterized by a narrow end with constraining surfaces for positioning the first hinge pin and flaring out to a wider second end bounded by a roll surface that gives the second hinge pin clearance to roll along the roll surface as the belt articulates. During belt articulation, each hinge pin of the pair rolls against the other and along the roll surfaces instead of sliding against the walls of the openings.
