of Middlesex, for an Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF
SECONDARY BATTERIES."
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said John Scudamore Sellon
at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 21st January 1882.
JOHN SCUDAMORE SELLON of Hatton Garden in the County of Middlesex.
"IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF SECONDARY BATTERIES."
My Invention relates to the construction of the terminal plates, supports,
retainers or frames upon or in which the active material or agent is deposited
placed or fixed in the construction of secondary batteries the object of my said
Invention being to render such plates supports retainers or frames more durable
than as they are now ordinarily constructed.
In carrying out my Invention I construct such plates supports retainers or
frames partially or entirely of pieces or rods of any convenient shape or com-
bination of shapes of or partly of metal carbon or of other suitable material which
is either conductive in itself or can be rendered conductive on or to which I attach
connect or affix strips or pieces of lead or other suitable metal or material such
strips or pieces being of any convenient form for retaining on the surfaces or in
the cavities interstices cells or spaces the active material in a divided, finely
divided, pasty, deposited, or other convenient, or desirable condition.
In manufacturing or preparing my pieces or rods of carbon or other non-metallic
material used in the construction of the plates supports retainers or fraines I may
use an inter-mixture of any metal metallic compounds, salt oxide, or preparation
which will tend to diminish the resistance or I may use such metal, inetallic
compound salt, oxide, or other preparation exteriorly or interiorly, as a coating,
partial or entire, or as a core, or by any other convenient mode of attachment.
I may use for the purposes of iny Invention, terminal plates or pieces of metal
carbon or other material prepared or constructed as above described, or as described
in the Provisional Specifications filed with my applications for Letters Patent dated
the 10th Septr. 1881 No. 3926, the 15th Septr. 1881 No. 3987, and the 23rd Dec.
1881 No. 5631, two or more placed in proximity, and holding between them the active
material or agent, they being fastened or held together by any convenient means,
such as by clipping or rivetting or the like.

placed or fixed in the construction of secondary batteries the object of my said
Invention being to render such plates supports retainers or frames more durable
than they are as now ordinarily constructed.
In carrying out my Invention 1 construct such plates supports retainers or
frames partially or entirely of picces or rods of any convenient shape or com-
bination of shapes of or partly of metal carbon or of other suitable material which
is either conductive in itself or can be rendered conductive on or to which I attach
connect or affix strips or pieces of lead or other suitable metal or material such

cavities interstices cells or spaces the active material in a divided, finely divided,
pasty, deposited, or other convenient or desirable condition.
In manufacturing or preparing my pieces or rods of carbon or other non-metallic
material used in the construction-of-the plates_supports retainers or frames, I may
use an intermixture of any metal metallic compound salt oxide-or-preparation -
which will tend to diminish the resistance or I may use such metal metallic
compound, salt oxide or other preparation exteriorly or interiorly as a coating
partial or entire or as a core or by any other convenient mode of attachment.
I may use for the purposes of my Invention terminal plates or pieces of metal
carbon or other material prepared or constructed as above described or as described
in the Specifications of Letters Patent granted to me dated the Tenth September.
One thousand eight hundred and eighty one Number 3926; the Fifteenth September
One thousand eight hundred and eighty one Number 3987, and the Twenty third
December One thousand eight hundred and eighty one Number 5631 two or more
placed in proximity and holding between them the active material or agent they
being fastened or held together by any convenient means such as by clipping or
rivetting or the like.
Having now described and particularly ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and the manner in which the same is or may be used or carried into
effect I would observe in conclusion that what I consider to be novel and original
and therefore claim as the Invention secured to me by the hereinbefore in part
recited Letters Patent is.
The construction of terminal plates supports retainers or frames employed in
secondary batteries in the manner and for the purposes herein mentioned.
In witness whereof I the said John Scudamore Sellon have to this my
Specification set any hand and seal this Twenty first day of June One
thousand eight hundred and eighty-two.
