952,344. Batteries. YARDNEY INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION. July 11, 1960 [July 13, 1959], No. 24175/60. Heading H1B. A deferred action battery has a stack of cells in a common circular casing, the cells having separators 18 acting to conduct electrolyte from a common feed channel 19 by capillary attraction, and being separated adjacent the feed channel by electrolyte-repellent spacers 24. By this means the activating electrolyte will not bridge the series-connected cells. Additionally a blast of gas can be used to expel any bridging electrolyte from the spacers. As shown, the electrodes are bi-polar and are formed on a support-plate 21. The electrolyte is expelled from a bladder 39 by gas-pressure through tube 36. Tabs on the separators project through the casing as at 18<SP>1</SP> to act as gas vents. In a further embodiment (not shown) the battery is rectangular and channels are formed along two opposed sides by using cell elements less wide than the casing. One of these channels is a feed channel, the other acts as a vent. |
