Galvanic cell electrodes and method of making the same

Claim 1

A METHOD OF PRODUCING PLATES FOR GALVANIC CELLS COMPRISING MAINTAINING AN AQUEOUS SUSPENSION CONSISTING OF AN INTIMATE PULVERULENT MIXTURE OF ACTIVE MATERIAL AND COPPER MICROCRYSTALS HAVING INTERLACING PROPERTIES, WATER AND A VISCOSITY INCREASING AGENT DISSOLVED THEREIN, CONTINUOUSLY PASSING A PERFORATED BAND THROUGH THE SAID SUSPENSION WITHOUT AGITATION AND THEREBY COATING BOTH SIDES OF SAID BAND AND FILLING THE PERFORATIONS THEREIN WITH THE SUSPENSION, THEN PASSING THE STRIP THROUGH A SLOT WHEREBY THE EDGES OF SAID SLOT CONTACT THE COATING TO REMOVE EXCESS THEREOF AND TO CONTROL THE THICKNESS OF THE FINAL COATINGS, THEREAFTER PASSING THE BAND SUCCESSIVELY THROUGH A HEATED DRYING CHAMBER WHEREIN THE COATINGS ARE DRIED AND BETWEEN PRESSURE ROLLS WHERE PRESSURE OF AT LEAST 1 TON PER SQUARE CENTIMETER WITHOUT APPLICATION OF HEAT IS APPLIED TO THE DRY COATINGS EFFECTING INTERLACING OF THE SAID MICROCRYSTALS, AND CUTTING THE BAND INTO PLATES.
