1,036,754. Batteries. YARDNEG INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION. July 11, 1963 [July 13, 1962], No. 27568/63. Heading H1B. In a deferred-action battery which is activated by immersion in electrolyte, e.g. sea-water, and whose electrode plates are vertically disposed in operation, at least one of the inlet and outlet conduits provided at the bottom and top respectively of at least one cell compartment is inclined to the horizontal, preferably at an angle of 15 degrees. As shown, each electrode assembly 11 is housed in a separate compartment 3 which has top and bottom closure members 33 and 35 respectively. The top closure member 33 is of Z-shaped cross-section and its diagonal limb has a longitudinal bore 41 acting as the outlet. The bottom closure member 35 comprises a base 43 and an inclined hollow tube 45 constituting the inlet. A space 39 is provided between the bottom of the electrode assembly 11 and the closure member 35 to collect sludge formed as reaction products of the cell. Each electrode assembly 11 comprises two magnesium plates 13 between which lies an assembly 23 comprising two silver chloride plates 25 secured to opposite sides of a silver foil 27. Each plate 13 is spaced from the silver chloride assembly 23 by five buttons 31 of glass or synthetic resin, e.g. methyl methacrylate or polystyrene. The silver chloride-magnesium system may be replaced by a cuprous chloridemagnesium system. Alternative forms of inlet and outlet conduits which comprises tubes inserted in the top and bottom closure members are described. |
