...."Be itl known that I,.GEORGE A." LUTZ, a citizen ofthe `United States, and resident of Plain'iieldn the c'ounty. of Union and StateofNeW Jersey, have invented cert-ain nev and useful .improvements in Primary Electric Bgitteries, of Whichlthe .following is a specification. f'

The insulating b1oek7 is provided with an opening through which rod 5 passes, and said insulating block has a recess ''i receiving the head of rod 5.

Having now described my invention what I claim is .1.' InV a primary electric battery the combination of an insulating block provided venient to handle and adjust, and relatively with a gain, a depolarizing platecofacting with said gain,fa.positive electrode supported adjacent said plate, and a support for said block in circuit with said plate,- and a block."

. 2.`, In a primary electricbatterythe com bination of an insulating block provided with a gain, av depolarizing plate supported by said block and having a portion located Within said gain, a positive electrode car-v ried by said block, a rod passing through" said blocl :.and having a head-vvithin arecess in .sald block, for supportingthe same, and means for supporting said rod.

ffl; In a primary electric battery the combinationv of a jar, a cover, a rod. depending .from 'the cover, an insulating block upon the rod provided With a gain at its lower part, a frame supported by said block, a depolarizing plate carried by said frame and having a portion located in said gain, positive electrodes attached to said block on opposite sides thereof, the extensions of'lsaid block at the sides of said gain lying lbetween said plate and electrodes, and la 'bolt pass-v ing through said electrodes' and through said block and having a head Within an opening in the under part of said block forv supporting the electrodes upon the block.

5. In a primaryfelectric battery the'comdepending lfrom 'the cover, an insulating block provided With a bore and a recess receiving said rod, said block having a gain,

below the recess, a frame supported `by said block, a depolarizingl plate carried by said frame and having a portion located in said gain, positiveelectrodes located. on oppositev 'sides of said plate, and a-bolt passing through said electrodes 'and block and through said recess above said plate.
