  • rlhis invention relates to an anodin-current accumulator-battery specially desi ned for use in the radio-technics, and it re etes' more specially to a new arrangement of the elements for connection and for appropriation of current between the several cells to facilitate the care of the battery, to enable the battery to be tapped at various voltages and to ⁇ reduce the cost of manufacture.
  • lt is generally knownto use as source for the anodic-current for radio-apparatus, besides the commonly used dry-batteries, current-accumulatore in which the electrodes of the several cells are exchangeably suspended or mounted in an acidic'liquid which can also be renewed, the reason herefore being the lower price of these sources of anodiccurrent. ln accordance -with the desired Avoltage a certain number of such cells are series-connected, e.

  • Fig. 7a is a cross section through the diskshaped rubber-lid and Fig. 7b 'is a plan view of Fig. 7?.
  • Every single cell of the anodic-current accumulator-battery consists, in well known manner, of a vessel g of circular or cornered cross section, and of the two electrodes, e. g. the cathode k and the anode a, which are suspended or placed into the vessel g filled with acid and adapted to be charged in the commonly used manner by means of an electric current.
  • the electrodes a and c eX- tend a-t the top ends as conducting-rods, every cathode la or every anode a of two adjacent cell-vessels g being connected by a conducting bridge c made in one piece with said cathode and anode.
  • the connecting bridge c has a boss al of cylindrical or multi-cornered cross section in which a plug contact e is .fixed by casting.
  • plug contact e may, as shown in. Figs. 3 and 5, be sleeve-shaped andl have a conical bore f designed to receive the conical pin of the anode-plug, or as shown in Fig. 6, it may A consist of a conical pin 7i designed to receive the sleeve-shaped anode plug.
  • the plug contact e serves to receive temporarily the plug which by an electric cable 1s connected with the radio apparatus.
  • the length .of the electrodes a; and la or of the electrode rods is selected sothat the electrodes may either be suspended, by means of the brid e e, upon the uppeigedge of the cell vesse s g so that the lower ends of the electrodes are in front elevation an.
  • the cell vessels g are closed at the top end by a disk-shaped lid Z, which isof sufficient thickness and made of a soft, elastic rubber and has such a shape (circular or cornered) thatV it fits tightly into the open end of the,
  • the lid Z hasan airand filling-hole m and two holes n, through which the electrode rods b pass.
  • said holes have efach a lateral slot ov extending to the outer edge of tlie lid Z.
  • the two passage-holes n might be arranged either on a diameter of the disk or at an angle the one to the other.
  • a hook being preferably used for this purpose which is inserted -into the charging hole m so that the lid can be lifted.
  • the several cells are mounted, in the usual manner, in a box-shaped frame g, open at the sides so that the vessels g can be observed..1
  • the frame is subdivided by short vertical longitudinal and transverse partitions upwardly extending from the bottom plate into a number of separate compartments.
  • a cell g Into each compartment a cell g can be placed so that it isv securely fixed A number of cells may be combined in one frame u in accordance with the desired maximum voltage of the radio apparatus.
  • Figs. l and 2 show, for instance, a battery Vof 60 volts.
  • the thirty series-'connected cells sum upto 60 volts.
  • the plug contacts c constructed according to the invention and arranged one between every two clelncnts permit of a selection of voltage increasing of two volts from 2, 4, 6, 8 to 60 volts, and
  • the insulating cover plate s is guided in the edge ledge t at the upper end of the box-shaped frame and mounted on the rubber lids stripped over the bosses l of theconnecting bridges c, said bosses (l which carry the plug contacts e or the contact pins L engaging with the corresponding holes u in the cover plate s.
  • the thickness of the cover plate a is selected so that the plug-contacts e do not reach to the upper surface of the cover plate in order to prevent the establishment of short-circuits between the several cells,
  • the holes u in the cover plate may be cylindrical but they are preferably conical enlarged, in downward direction as shown in Fig. 3, in order that the plug-contacts e can be more easily inserted into the holes u if the insulating cover plate s is put on.
  • the cell vessels g in ease suspended electrodes are used, are arranged in such a manner that between every two cells g of the same height a single lower cell may be placed (in Fig. 3 the middle one) so ⁇ that the upper edge of the one vessel g is on a hi her plane than the upper edge of the ad]acent vessel.
  • This arrangement is made in order that the con necting bridge c of the electrodes rests upon the edge of the one vessel so that a creeping over of the acid from one vessel to the other vessel is prevented. It is advisable to arrange, in a manner known per se, in each cell between the two electrodes a and a separate perforated insulatin wall of rubber or similar material in or er that touching of the two velectrodes is excluded.
  • the several 't cells may evidently be arranged in any desired succession and in any number, and the battery frame might be enclosed in av protecting box to facilitate transport.
  • I claim 1 An anodic-current accumulator-battery the several cells of which are united in any desired number in a case adapted to be ⁇ closed and which permit of selecting ⁇ the voltages from cell to cell comprising 1n com bination with the anode and the cathode ot' two adjacent cells, a ⁇ connecting bridge made in one piece with the same without soldering, screw-connection or riveting and having a plug-contact sleeve east on it, a lid of the battery-case having holes for said plug-con taets and being of such 'thickness that said plug-contacts project only partly into said holes whereby a secure voltage-selecting by lll() v means of a commonly used contact-plug is ensured and the plug-contacts are protected aainst contact with articles placed on the li 5 2.
  • An :medic-current accumulator-byttery as specifiedl in claim l comprising in combination with the cells, the elect-nodes made in one piece with the connecting bridge, a stopper-like rubber-disk for holding said electrodes in their cell and having two circular holes each with a, slot directed towards the edge of the disk said hole being designedlto be pushed over the electrodex'ods to hold the same from all sides.
