teries, of which the following is a full, clear and exact description.
This vinvention relates to dry cells and more particularly to a construction adapted for use in hand lanterns. The battery to which this invention is especially applicable consists of two or more superposed cylindrical dry cells with the top of the lower cell electrically connected to the bottom of the cell immediately above.
Referring to the drawing, 1 represents a cylindrical pasteboard jacket closed at the bottom by a paper-cap 2'. The battery which is placed in the jacket consists of two dry cells of a well known type having cylindrical containers 3 and 4 and central carbon electrodes 5 and 6 with brass caps? and 8 on the tops. To electrically connect the cells in series a wire 9 is soldered at one end to thecap 7 and at the other end to the zinc container 3. The terminals consist of a binding post 10 attached to the cap 8 of carbon 5 and a conductor 11 soldered to the lower zinc 4. This is preferably a fiat metal strip extending up the from the top of the jacket. To insulate the conducting strip 11 from the zinc container 3 a piece of adhesive insulating tape 12 may side and projecting be aflixed to the zinc at the point adjacent the conducting strip and turned over inside the zinc container at 13. The terminal 16 of the battery is soldered to the turned over projection 14 of the strip 11. This terminal consists of a binding post 15- having an angular base consisting of a horizontal member 16 and a depending member 17. After the terminal is affixed the pitch or analogous seal 18 of the upper dry cell will be poured so that the depending member 17 is embedded therein. By this arrangement the conducting strip 11 is maintained adjacent the insulating strip 12 and the upper and lower cells are prevented from relative axial displacement.
Having described my invention, claim is In'an electric battery, a jacket, a plurality of superposed dry cells therein, a flexible connection between the cells, a conductor attached to the container electrode of the bottom cell and extending up the side of the container electrode of the top cell, an insulating member between the conductor and the container electrode of the top cell, and a binding post and projecting member attached to said conductor, said projecting what I member being embedded in the seal of the WILLIAM R. OLYMER.
