Locking device for battery sticks
Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to means and methods for preventing the formation of corrosion between the outer metal can of a battery and its circumscribing insulative jacket or sleeve. A cantilever type of metal tab is affixed to usually the central portion of the battery. The tab, having a gouging finger edge portion, allows the insulative jacket to slip over the can, but the finger portion will dig into the internal surface of the jacket making it extremely difficult for the jacket to be withdrawn once it is placed over the tab. The insulative jacket, or sleeve has a crimped end and an open end, with the crimped end abutting a disc terminal of the battery so as to preclude any further downward travel on the metal can.
