JULIUS E. HASCHKE, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO FEODOR G.
HASCHKE, OF AUSTIN, TEXAS.
ELECTRICAL BATTERY.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 762,715, dated June 14, 1904.
Application filed February 8, 1904. Serial No. 192,545. -(No model,).To all whom it imay concern:
Be i~t known that I, JULIUs E. HAsCHKE, of
Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of
Illinois, have invented certain new and useful
5 Improvements in Electric Batteries; and I
hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,
and exact description thereof, reference being
had to the accompanying drawings, which
form part of this specification.
To My invention relates to electric batteries,
either reversible or primary galvanic bat-
teries, and has among its salient objects to pro-
vide a battery construction whereby the active
surface exposure of a battery of given dimen-
15 sions may be greatly increased, to provide
an arrangement and construction whereby all
plates having only a single surface exposed to
the electrolyte may be made negative in char-
acter, and to provide a light, compact, eco-
20 nomical and generally improved construction
of batteries of the class described.
With a view to attaining these and other
objects, which will become apparent to those
skilled in the art from the following descrip-
25 tion, my invention consists in the features of
construction and combinations of parts here-
inafter more fully described, and specified in
the claims.
While in the drawings I have shown, pri-
30 marily, a form of battery embodying numer-
ous features which I consider to be of great -
advantage, it will become apparent thiit cer-
tain of the features-of -ny invention might be
employed to tlie exclusion of others, with
35 some of the attendant advantages .incident to
the use of the complete organization suggest-
ively illustrated.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a top plan view,
with parts broken away, of a battery embody-
40 ing my invention. Fig. 2 is a fragmentary
section of a battery, taken on lines 22 of Fig.
1, but for clearness showing the connecting-
bars in slightly-distorted position. Fig. 3 is
a diagrammatic illustration of the arrange-
45 ment and connections for the battery illus-
trated in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a detail of one of
the-insulating casing members detached. Fig.
5 is a view showing the sectional structure of
one form of casing unit. Fig. 6 is a similarview showing the cross-sectional structure of 50
a modified construction of the casing mem-
bers. Fig. 7 is a sectional view of another
form of battery, illustrating the application
of certain features of my invention thereto.
Throughout the drawings like characters of 55
reference refer always to like parts.
For economy of space and convenience of
manufacture my invention contemplates the
construction of a multiple-cell high-voltage
battery wherein the side walls of the respec- 6o
tive cells are formed by active plates or bat-
tery elements separated and definitely posi-
tioned by insulated casing sections or mem-
bers of suitable contour interposed between
the said plates to form the end and bottom 65
walls of the respective cells, the parts being
held together by side clamping-plates con-
nected by suitable tie-rods or like agencies
extending transversely of the completed bat-
tery structure from side to side thereof. In 70
the drawings I have illustrated a battery com-
prising three such cells; but it will be appar-
ent that the construction is susceptible of in-
definite extension.
10. 10A, 10', and 10' indicate, respectively, 75
what I will term "separating" battery-plates
and which form the imperforate side walls of
three cells A, B, and C. Each imperforate
separating-plate is provided with a marginal
-web-11, free from ribs or projections, and has 8o
a ribbed surface or surfaces 12 within the
unribbed margin.
It will be understood that the exterior side
plates 10 and 10' are provided with ribs upon
their inwardly-facing surfaces only and are 85
adapted to constitute unipolar plates or ele-
ments, while all intermediate separating-
plates are provided with ribs upon both of
their side faces and are adapted to constitute
bipolar plates or elements. 90
13 13 indicate impervious insulating casing
sections or members, each comprising a sub-
stantially flat bottom portion and upturned
ends interposed between the plates- to coact
therewith to form liquid -tight 'cells. Two 95
constructions of such casing-sections are here-
in suggested, 5 and 6, the one, Fig. 5, com-
prising a -strip of wood 13', bent to properNo. 762,715.
