Title: Improvements in Galvanic Batteries.
Inventor: MOELLMANN PAUL
Filed: 1904-11-01
Granted: 1904-12-01
Abstract: 23,622. M÷llmann, P. Nov. 1. Primary batteries. - Relates to zinc - carbon cells in which the electrolyte, a mixture of zinc chloride, ammonium chloride, and mercury oxide, is introduced in a non-active condition, and consists in thoroughly mixing the powdered mass with pulverulent tragacanth. Any moisture absorbed by the zinc chloride causes the mass to coagulate, and the particles of active material become uniformly embedded in the tragacanth and thus protected. The sticky mass f is placed between a carbon cylinder b, Fig. 2, and a split cylinder c of zinc, and is caused to adhere to the zinc surface by working the carbon about radially. The space left between the carbon surface and the paste serves for introducing lukewarm water to excite the battery. The cylinder c is made slightly smaller than the glass vessel a, so that the exciting-fluid may pass through the slot d and so attack both surfaces of the zinc.
