Year: 1884

page_text: I ALFRED TRIBE of 14 Denbigh Road Notting Hill in the County of Middlesex
Electro Chemist do hereby declare the nature of said Invention for "IMPROVE-
MENTS IN OR CONNECTED WITH PRIMARY AND SECONDARY BATTERIES" to be as
follows:-
This Invention relates to the employment and use for the purpose of the
containers receptacles frames or supports for the active elements of Batteries of
what is known as Nitro Cellulose or that material substance or product which
results from the treatment of Ligneous or other material containing Cellulose with
acids namely with Nitric acid or with Nitric Acid in conjunction with Sulphuric
Acid in a manner similar to that now employed in the production of what is known
as Gun Cotton.
In carrying out my Invention I employ Nitro Cellulose or that product obtained_
or resulting from the before mentioned treatment of Ligneous or other Cellulose
containing substances either in the form of fabric or woven material or felted
consolidated pressed or moulded for covering wrapping enveloping containing or
supporting the positive or negative elements of primary or secondary Batteries or
of the active materials thereof. Or instead of employing Nitro-Cellulose in the
manner before mentioned a solution of Nitro Cellulose may be employed for
impregnating or covering fibres fabrics or materials to be employed for the before
mentioned purposes and after having effected the evaporation and separation of
the solvent and consequent dessiccation of the Nitro Cellulose I employ such coated
impregnated or covered materials for the purpose before mentioned.

I, ALFRED TRIBE of 14 Denbigh Road Notting Hill in the County of Middlesex
Professor of Chemistry do hereby declare the nature of said invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN OR CONNECTED WITH PRIMARY AND SECONDARY BATTERIES
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This Invention relates to the employment and use for the purpose of Containers
receptacles, frames or supports for the active elements of Primary and Secondary
Batteries of what is known as Nitro Cellulose or that material substance or
product which results from the treatment, of Ligneous or other Vegetable material
containing Cellulose with acids namely with Nitric Acid or with Nitric Acid in
conjunction with Sulphuric acid in a manner similar to that now employed in the
production of what is known as Gun Cotton.
In carrying out my Invention I employ Nitro Cellulose or that product obtained
or resulting from the before mentioned treatment of Ligneous or other Cellulose
containing substances either in the form of fabric or woven material or felted or
consolidated or pressed or moulded for the purpose of covering wrapping enveloping
containing or supporting the positive or the negative elements of primary or
secondary batteries or of the active materials thereof. Or instead of employing
nitro Cellulose in the manner before mentioned a solution of nitro Cellulose may
be employed for impregnating or covering fibres fabrics or materials to be employed
for the before mentioned purposes and after having effected the evaporation and
separation of the solvent and consequent desiccation of the nitro Cellulose I employ
such coated impregnated or covered materials for the purpose before mentioned.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
The employment and use of what is known as nitro Cellulose or Gun Cotton as
and for the purposes hereinbefore described.
