IMPROVEMENT IN GALVANIC BATTERIES.
The Schedule referred l1:0 in these Letters Patent and making part of the same 4constructed in accordance with my invent-ion;
Figure 2 isa top view of the same; and
Figure 3 is a partly sectional view of the two zines, and their screw-capsdetached.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
This invention consists in the novel construction and arrangement of a galvalnlc battery, whereby it is made very compact and so portable that it may be carried in thepocket, or packed with ordinary baggage for traveling.
It also consists in a tube attached to the cover or plug of the eell,.for the purpose of providing for the escape ot' the gases, without allowing them to come in contact with and corrode the brass screw-caps, such tube being capable of being easilyclosed to preventescape of liquid when the battery is being carried from place to place. y I
'lo enable others to construct galvanic batteries in vaccordance with iny invention, I will proceed to clescribe the same u-'ith'referenee to the drawing.
A is a cup or cell,made", by preference, ot' glass, and of a size and form convenient to be carried in the pocket.
B is a plug of India rubber, or any other suitable material, tightly closing the .mouth of said cup.
C C are the zinc rods which forni the positive element and negative pole of the battery, andare made of a cylindrical shape, to present a large surface (near the platina) within a small compass. These zinc rods are arranged inside of the cup A, and extend from near 'the bottom of the cup, a certain distance apart from each other, to the under surface of the plug B, through which their ends, that are of a reduced size, and provided with a screw-thread, c, are passed to receive the screw-caps b b, which enable the zinc rods to be rigidly fastened to the elastic plug B,v and be securely kept in position when carried about or` packed away, and also form an air-tight connection with the plug.
Said zines are connected 'at the upper surface -of the plug B by means of the plate o, which also serves as a washer for the screw-caps b b, connecting the zinc rods, to' form one pole audaid in preventing leakage.
D is the platinum wl1ich forins'the negative element and positive pole of the battery. l 'Io obtain a relativelyl large surface, thin ribbons of platinum are coiled loosely in spiral form around a centrall core or rod, c. These coils may be wound one over another, and in opposite directions, successively.
'The rod e extends from near the bottom of. the cup A through the plug B, and is securely held in placeA by the screw-cap, b', in .a similar manner as the zinc rods. l l
Eis a tube, preferably made of India rubber or other exible material, connected with .an opening, j",
in the plug B, for .the purpose ot' allowing the fumes y or gases that are generated when the battery is in op eration to pass olf, and it is extended a certain length beyond the top of the plug B, to prevent said escaping fumes orgases from .coming in contact withand.
eorroding the brass screw-caps.
This tube, when made ot' India rubber or other.
suitableflexible material, also serves to close the battery entirely by tyiiig it' into. a knot, or by using-a clamp to close its opening, when it can be safely packed A away or carriedin the pocket.
F F are connecting-wires, which are iirmly` held by the binding-screws g` g.'
By this construction 4and arrangement a galvanic battery of a small compass, but of suiieient strength for practical purposes, islobtained, which may be eonveniently packed away for traveling, or be carried in connections to the elastic plug Bsubstantially as herein' described.
3. The tube E, in combination with the plug B', substantially as and for the purpose herein described.
