Speooation of Letters Patent.
Patented Bee. 33, tilts..
I( 1o all 'whom 'it 'may concern:
Be it known that I, CARL llrnsirn'r, a citizen of the United States, residing at Faribault, in the county of llliee and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in. \atterySteamers, of which the following is a speeilieation.
This invention relates to certain new and useful iinproveinents in method of' and means lior steaming storage batteries for the purpose of loosening' the seal of parallin, asphaltuin, or whatever substanee may he used for this purpose.
Heretofore, so far as I know, it has 1oeen the practice to remove this Covering' or seal by means of hot knives, 'whieh is a tedious and slow Way to accomplish. 'the result. I propose to get the saine 'result in a muela. cheaper, easier and quicker Way.`
It has been found that high pressures are injuriousto the batteries as Well beingI `(lange1.'ous, requiring Constant attention on the part of the operator and also requiring greater lieatthan I find tohe necessary or desirable.
'I have found hyexperiinents that slow steady heating at a 7very low pressure, never exceeding a pressure of live pounds, and softening the paralin, ete., slowly 'brings about the host results and avoids all possible liability of injury to the batteries.
I provide siinple means for steaming the material to he softened and loosened and at the saine time malte provision tor siniultzo neously Warming covers and jars that are often warped out of shape, before asseinbling the battery.
I provide a steamer' that can loe readily employed in eonneotion with a gas or other heater and readily removed from place to plaeeas may loe desired.
(")ther objects and advantages olf the invention will hereinafter appear, and the novel features thereof will. he speeiiieally defined by the appended claims. y
The invention, in its preferred ilorni, is clearly illustrated in the aeeon'ilmnying' drawings, which7 with the numerals of ret erenee marked thereon, forni a part of this specification, and in Wliioh Figure l is an elevation oi"- niy improved steamer.
y Fig. 2 is a substantially central vertical section through the saine as on the line 2.- 2 of Fig. 3.
Fig. 3 is a View, showingl the steamer in cross section, and its application to a sten age battery, the latter being,` shown in top plan, with the covering sheet partly removed. i
Like numerals indicate lilre ont the several views.
Referring to the drawings: l
l designates the container or recept-stele, made preferably of galvanized iron, Watertight, and of any desired shape and capacity.. It is designed to be placed over a gas, gasolene, or other heater, or upon a gas plate, and to contain water, say up to the line when, see Fig.
rlhe top, Whieh is niade steam-tight, is provided with a suitable trilling opening closed hy a steainstigght closure 2. l d I The upper portion ot' the eontainer pro vided with partition 3, having portera tions il, coininunieating with the compartpartsthrough nient 5, which terms a steaniseparating' ehalnloer which extends the entire Width olf the container as shown and from Whiehlead small pipes or nozzles (l to receive the ends o' leitihle tubes 7., eaeh nozzle heine? roi'ided with a shutoff valve t3, all as seen est in Fig'. 2.
l'roin the bottoni et' the steanrsepainting ehaniher there extends a drip pipe 9, by means of which the Water et condensation will drip into the lootteni oi the compartment ot' the eontainer as will he understood upon referenee to Fig. 9). 'llhe rent drip oonstrueted that the steam will not interfere with the water driiliiping; troni the steam sepz rating eliaruloer.
lilithin theY container l. I arrange en oren within which the covers and ars thelt have heen warped or gotten out olf shape een he warmed, heitere reasseinhling the battery."
'lf'his is clearly shown in Iiigr. 55. llhis eliainloer or oven .l0 is f lisposed substantially Centrally oi? the eontainer as to height, but extends about two thirds ot the distance from liront to rear. It is supported from the Walls or the eontainer in any suitable manner and pri'wided with a shelii ll oit strong wire or similar' material as 'shown and supported vupon suitable supports l2, as seen clearly in Fig. 2.
suitable door I3 is provided to give aeeess to the interior oitl the oven, as seen in Iiigs. l and 2.
By positioning the oven suhstantially as shown it in the path of the steam rising; from the water in the hottoln olf theeontl tl limi lll@
tainer, and becomes readily heated, so that the articles placed in the oven may be readily and quickly heated to the required extent.
With the parts constructed and arranged substantially as above described the operation will be apparent, and, briefly stated, is substantially as follows;-
rlhe steameris placed over the source of heat, and the battery placed adjacent thereto,las seen in Fig. 3. As many tubes 7 as there are battery cells to be removed are inserted in place in the battery as seen in Fig. 3, in this instance three, the valves 8 of these tubes opened, and those of the others closed as shown in said Fig. 3, and the top ofthe battery covered with a piece ofcloth or the like 145, to prevent the escape of the steam, as will be readily understood, and in about ten minutes, more or less, the paraffin will be found sufficiently softened so that the cell can be readily removed.
During the interim the articles that have been placed in the oven are suliiciently warmed by the steam rising from the Water in the bottom of the container rising against the bottom of the oven and passing all around the said oven. f
Each tube being provided with a shut-,oit valve, l can use either three tubes for six volt batteries or all six tubes for twelve volt batteries.
The simplicity of the device and its adaptation`to dierent styles of batteries, and the readiness or" application, aswell messer as its' eciency makes it a great time saver, besides requiring no skilled labor to accomplish the desired result.
Modifications in details of construction, arrangement of parts, etc., may be resorted to Without departing from the spirit or' the invention or sacrificing any oi its advantages.
What is 4claimed as new is;-
V l. A battery steamer comprising a container, a steam separator, an oven in the container, and a pipe connected with the steam separator for conveying steam therefrom to a battery.
2. A battery steamer comprising a container, a steam separator, an oven in the container, a pipe connected with the steam separator for conveying steam therefrom to a battery, and means for covering the battery to. confine the steam.
3. A battery steamer comprising a container, a steam separator, an oven in the container, and a pipe connected with the steam separator for conveying steam therefrom to a battery, and a drip pipe from the bottom of said steam separator leading to the bottom part of the container.
Ll. The method of loosening the seal on a storage battery, Which consists in applying low-pressure steam thereto and covering the top -of the battery to conline the steam, whereby the seal is gradually softened.
In testimony whereof I alix my signature.
