IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF SECONDARY BATTERIES
Year: 1884

page_text: 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 THE CONSTRUCTION OF SECONDARY BATTERIES" to be as
follows:-
16
This Invention relates to the construction of Secondary Batteries and consists in
the employment for what are. known as leads used and employed in the const: uction
of Secondary batteries which leads are connected with the active material formning
the negative element constituting one element of secondary batteries.
In carrying out my Invention I employ as leads, lead which has been either
entirely or superficially converted into lead sulphide phosphide or Arsenide by one
or other of the processes described in my Patent No 2203 A.D. 1882 or other
processes may be employed.
In carrying out my Invention the leads so prepared are to be brought in contact
with the active material forming the negative element of Secondary Batteries in a
manner similar to that described in my Patent No 1587 A.D. 1882 or instead of
converting the lead as before mentioned into sulphide phosphide or arsenide the
lead may be wholly or partly converted into other analogous compounds of lend
such for example as the selenide or Telluride.

I, ALFRED TRIBE of 14 Denbigh Road Notting Hill in the County of Middlesex
Professor of Chemistry do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVE-
MENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF 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 construction of Secondary Batteries and consists in
the employment of lead compounds for what are known as "leads" used in such
Batteries which "leads" are connected with the active material forming. the
negative element constituting one element of Secondary batteries.
"
In carrying out my Invention I employ as "leads" lead which has been either
entirely or superficially converted into lead-sulphide, lead phosphide or lead-
Arsenide by one or other of the processes described in my Patent No 2263 A.D. 1882
but any other suitable processes may be employed for effecting the said convertion.
The "leads so prepared are to be brought into contact with the active material
forming the negative element or elements of Secondary Batteries in a manner
similar to that described in my Patent No 1587 A D: 1882, or instead of converting
the lead as before mentioned into Sulphide, Phosphide, or Arsenide of lead, the lead
may be wholly or partially converted into other analogous compounds of lead, such
for example as the Selenide or Telluride.
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 in connection with the negative element of Secondary batteries,
of "leads" of lead entirely or partially converted into lead-sulphide, lead-phosphide,
lead-arsenide, or analogous compounds of lead, substantially as herein before
described.
