Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
An alkaline nickel-cadmium storage battery suitable for usage in locations requiring reduced weight and increased activity per unit weight of the active surface areas particularly for use in transport facilities as a standby source of electrical energy, comprising: a container; cells located in said container, each said cell including: a jar, positive cerametallic plates, pasted thin negative cadmium-oxide plates free of baked nickel sponge, said negative plates being less than 0.9 millimeters in thickness, the ratio of the thickness of said negative plates to the thickness of said positive plates being in the range of 0.45 to 0.60, separators between said positive and negative plates positioned in said jar, terminal posts for said positive and said negative plates for assembling thereof into groups; and intercell connectors coupled with said terminal posts connecting said cells in series.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
90 words
The battery as set forth in claim 1, wherein: said positive plates include a metal backing formed from a nickel powder suspension baked in hydrogen at 800°-1100° C. to form a baked nickel sponge, after which said baked nickel sponge is soaked with active nickel salts to fill the sponge pores with nickel hydroprotoxide thereby forming the active material of said positive plates, and said negative plates consist of cadmium oxide and an organic binder and have an operating capacity at least equal to the capacity of the positive plates.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
54 words
The battery as set forth in claim 1, wherein: said positive plates include a metal backing formed from a nickel powder suspension baked in hydrogen at 800°-1100° C. to form a baked nickel sponge, and said negative plates include a metal backing coated with a coating consisting of cadmium oxide and an organic binder.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
The battery as set forth in claim 1, wherein: said negative plates include a metal backing coated with a coating consisting of cadmium oxide and an organic binder.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
The battery as set forth in claim 4, wherein: said container is formed of a metal, said jar is formed of plastic,
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
111 words
The battery as set forth in claim 1, wherein: said container is formed of a metal, said jar is formed of plastic, said positive plates include a metal backing formed from a nickel powder suspension baked in hydrogen at 800°-1100° C. to form a baked nickel sponge after which said baked nickel sponge is soaked with active nickel salts to fill the sponge pores with nickel hydroprotoxide thereby forming the active material of said positive plates, and said negative plates include a metal backing coated with a paste consisting of cadmium oxide and an organic binder and having an operating capacity at least equal to the capacity of the positive plates.
