Innovations in electrical pillars.

Patented in the German Empire on April 27, 1881.

The present invention relates to improvements in electrical pillars, namely these improvements can be seen in the voltaic as well as in the secondary Bring pillars into use.

The compilation of the elements in column form, as devised by VoIta and with different Modifications by other physicists, such as Mary Davy, William Thomson, Emile Reynier, etc., has been resumed, offers considerable advantages, such as special the very small horizontal attack surface, simplicity of assembly and the possibility of one and the same piece having the threefold role as recipient, as positive To be able to assign an element of the one and as a negative element of the neighboring pair, Add to that the absence of all connectors and a never-failing contact companions.

However, on the other hand, these advantages are more as if canceled out by various evils. The following are shown as such:

ι. the difficult circulation of fluids and the retention of gases;

2. In the case of using pairs of elements with two liquids, the inequality the pressure that each diaphragm endures on both sides and that leads to it, that the shape of this organ, as soon as it consists of flexible material, as well as the connection the respectively Capacities of the chambers undergo changes.

To eliminate these disadvantages while at the same time retaining all the advantages of the columnar form an arrangement is selected, which is shown in the accompanying drawing in its forms as Examples are shown.

FIGS. 1,2,3 ^un d 4 show each different in Aufrifs and Grundrifs forms of Gefäfse from which present pillars batteries are assembled.

Fig. 5 shows the vertical section of an ordinary one arranged according to this invention Pillar.

Fig. 6 shows in vertical section the application of the present invention to a secondary Pillar.

The recipients α of these column batteries are deep and funnel-shaped, from z. B. conical, Fig. Ι, or pyramidal shape, Fig. 2 and 3; likewise, their profile can have a curved shape or any other suitable shape.

But the forms once adopted must be such that several similar vessels can be lowered deep into each other.

The side surfaces of these vessels develop a considerably larger surface than you Bottom piece.

In Fig. 5, which shows a column battery composed of four elements, α α are the vessels of the various elements. The lowest vessel rests on a base or support block b; the vessels placed one inside the other are separated from one another by blocks c ; also, in order to maintain uniformity and to reduce the uppermost vessel to the capacity of the rest, an otherwise inactive block d is placed in it, e and / or the electrodes of the individual elements (e.g. copper and zinc) which in the liquid

dive and are connected to each other through ladder i. If the elements of the column battery are elements with two liquids, the electrodes are separated by a porous vessel, as in Fig. 5 such an arrangement is indicated by dotted lines. This type of arrangement allows both easy release of the gases and easy circulation of the liquids. In the case of pairs of elements with two fluids, the porous vessels can be made in the manner of Reynier's, but these must be modified in such a way that the necessary expansion is obtained. You can use any suitable material as porous vessels, but the use of pressed felt disks, similar to filter bags made of felt, is particularly suitable. Furthermore, the recipients themselves can be used as double electrodes by making them from two metals lying on top of each other, one of which forms the outer surface and the other the inner surface. Finally, if it is a question of pairs of elements with two identical electrodes, such as Gas and Plante's secondary batteries with two lead plates, etc., the column of elements is simply put together from conical vessels α placed on top of one another, between which the bases h made of non-conductive material are arranged as Fig. 6 shows. Here every vessel α (ζ. Β. Made of lead) is at the same time the positive electrode of one and the negative electrode of the adjacent pair, with the exception of course the polar electrodes, since the bottom only with the inside and the top only with. its outside is immersed. The invention is sufficiently characterized by the foregoing to see how it is independent of the particular shape which one may always impart to the deep and funnel-shaped recipients, and for this reason it should be superfluous to have a further number of corrugated, canneled shapes etc. to describe and draw shapes. However, as an example, a special modification of the conical or pyramidal shape, because of their special properties, should be touched upon in more detail. Let A B CD be the conical recipient in FIG. 7. You now take the lower half B CFE and put it in reverse into the upper half, whereby it assumes the position B 'C' FE, and thus a biconical, ring-shaped vessel AEB 'CFD is obtained, which is still twice the height of the original cone entire effective surface. The bottom piece B 'C must be omitted to allow the gases to escape or at least provided with holes. Fig. 8 shows a container obtained in the manner just disassembled in its practical form. Of course, the reduction in height can be taken still further, and in this way ring-shaped cones with two and three inversions can be obtained. 9 shows a vessel with the profile AEGB "C" HFD, which was obtained by means of two reversals of the cone ABCD. Fig. 10 shows the shape of the vessel thus obtained in its practical use. The ring-shaped vessels (circular or polygonal), with their suitable partitions, offer all the properties of the conical or pyramidal, that is, large development of lateral surfaces and easy release of the gases, combined with a convenient way of placing them on top of one another. As FIG. 11 shows, which shows a secondary column battery constructed from the vessels of FIGS. 7 and 8, the recipients placed on top of one another are supported by annular supports. The arrangements specifically presented here vary, of course, according to the different cases of practical requirements. Pat ε ν τ-An s ρ ruche: 1.
