Granted: 1911-02-21
Abstract: 4320. Hardy, F. W., and Hungerb³hler, E. H. Feb. 21. Electrodes; connexions; gas exits ; separators; electrolytes. - A lead or other accumulator comprises a number of thin narrow plates of small capacity, with active material spread over the whole of each face, and packed with separators between them so as to occupy the whole width of the cell. Each plate is a plain thin sheet of pure lead, for a lead accumulator, having its edges flanged to form a shallow tray on each side; the end plates may be flanged on one side only. Non - conducting supports 7 may be provided at the bottom, and lugs 8 may be formed outside the side flanges 2, to lest against the cell wall as shown. Connexion to plates of one sign is made at a top corner, and to those of the other sign at the diagonally opposite bottom corner to render the action uniform over their surfaces; flexible wires 5 are used, preferably kinked, and are sealed at their passage through the cover, the lower connexions being passed through insulating-tubes 6. The wires of each sign pass through a trough 13 in the cover filled with a sealing-composition which preferably contains gutta-percha, the trough being covered by a cemented ebonite strip 14, through holes in which the wires pass into holes in a connectorbar, which may be of brass or copper. The bottom of the sealing-trough 13 may have holes for the wires, or a slit covered by a plate with holes. Alternatively, the trough may be separate from the cover. The cover preferably is cemented in place, and is separated by a considerable space from the electrodes. A screwed tubular plug 17 with holes for the escape of gases projects inwards far enough to prevent spilling of the free electrolyte, which may be very small in amount. The Provisional Specification mentions the use in the plug of a flexible valve such as to allow no gas to escape until a certain internal pressure exists in the cell. It also states that the active material consists of a paste of red lead and dilute sulphuric acid, and the separators may consist of filter paper, the electrolyte used being sulphuric acid of density 1À1.
