which greatly reduces the risk of damage to the accumulator electrodes, even during rough handling.
The needles 6 can be provided before or Vafter the three elements of the separator have been sewn together. Under certain circumstances it may be advisable to fasten them to the corresponding corrugations of the intermediateelement 2 and, if necessary, also to the facing filtering element 1, which 4may be done, for example, by means of an acid-resistant adhesive or by welding or sealing.

VVmotor and tractor batteries. The presence of the needles l 4 bled locally about the lower edgerof the element 2 and can, if desired, be fastened thereto.
In Fig. 10 the reinforcement consists of a triangular part of the element 2 itself, which first extended downwards beyond the lower edge of said. element and afterwards was doubled up. In this manner, too, a firm supporting member `is formed, which rests on the elevation 11 of the bottom 12 of the accumulator box.
It is self-,evident `that the embodiments of the separator according -to the invention as shown in the various figures can also be combined at need. Nor is the invention lim- Fig. 5 shows-a side ,elevation of the separator according to Fig. 4, provided with needles 6. At the bottom the needles extend beyond'the separator, and they may serve to support the separator, when mounted in an accumulator, on the bottom of the accumulator box. Thus the firmness of the separators and accumulator electrodes mountedin said box is enhanced even further.
In the separator according to Pig. 6 and also Fig. 7a certain of the corrugations of the intermediate element 2, designated by 7,` have a substantially rectangular cross- .material and consequently is Yof great strength. This effect is enhanced even further if, as also shown in Fig. 6, in each substantially rectangular corrugation 7 of the element 2 is positioned i.e. nested a corrugation 8 ited to the embodiments shown in said figures or the combinations thereof. Within the scope of the invention a greatmany'variations are possible.
The separator accordingto the invention is particularly suited for accumulators to be stored in dry condition, or for so-called dry charged accumulators. Indeed, such accumulators-if they are to keep their capacity even during prolonged storage-after being mounted have to be perfectly free from moisture. This cannot be attained with wooden or wood-containing separators because wood cannot be rendered perfectly dry without splitting, or at least becoming so easy to split that it can'no longer be mounted without being damaged.
`Accumulators with separators according to the invention,
on the contrary, can be mounted dry, and can therefore Y be stored for long periods, either charged or not, without their capacity being appreciably impaired.
What we claim is:v
, l. A three layer lseparator for electric accumulators, said separator comprising an intermediate layer and two facing layers applied to opposite sides of said intermediate layer, one of said vfacing layers consisting of a of approximately equal height of the element 1. Owing f to the coincidence of the corresponding corrugations 7 and S the sewing seams can be made more firmly and the three elements are fixed exceptionally effectively in relation to one another.
In the separator according to Figs. 7 and 8 those two edges 9 of the element 2 which are parallel to the corrugations in this element are non-corrugated and nonperforated, while lying` close against the element 1. Along these edges 9 the maximum possible space for the fiow of 'gas and liquid is thus obtained. Moreover'the risk of damage to the element 2 upon a number of separators and accumulator, electrodes being packed in an acctunulator box is reduced.
In vthe separator according to Fig. 7a the edges 9 of the element 2 are non-corrugated and either perforated or non-perforated. The element 1 consists of a filter;
cloth, whose edges 13 have been folded about the edges 9 of the elementi and fastened thereto. This fastening can be attained by using for the elements 1 and 2 suitable thermoplastic materials and welding or sealing each of the edges 9 of the element 2, by the applicationofheat, between the edge 13 of the element 1 and the remainder of this element. A suitable material for the element 1 is a filter cloth of polyester yarn, while a suitable material for the element 2 is a plastic on a polyvinyl chloride basis, such as solidpolyvinyl chloride.
Figs. 9 and l0 show that one ofthe edges of the element 2 which are atright angles to the corrugations of said element can be fitted locally with a reinforcement 10, so as to make it possible, without risk of damage,
lnhFig. 9 the reinforcement ,10 consists of a strong Qacid-resistant.,rriaterial,,eg. plasti cwhich has been v dounon-splitting acid-resistant microporous filter plate made from a materialV selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl chloride fibers, polystyrene fibers, fabric formed vfrom polyamide fibers, fabric formed from polyester fibers, hard rubber, glass fabric, impregnated paper, paper reinforced with-glass fibers and webs formed from asbestos fibers, the other of said facing layers consisting of a glass mat, said intermediate layer being a perforated and corrugated plate formed from a material selectedv from the group consisting of polyvinyl chloride the corrugations inv said intermediate layer and nested -within the latter, and the height of said corrugations'in longitudinally of the corrugations in said intermediate layer.
