Abstract
Abstract The method of making standby water-activated primary current sources, according to the invention, resides in that concurrently with hermetical sealing of the ends and edges of the negative electrodes, a flanged rim is provided along the perimeter of each of the negative electrodes, the height of said flanged rim being in excess of the thickness of the bipolar electrode and the separator. The flanged rim forms an angle from 90° to 180° with the electrode surface and is provided with at least one shoulder for passing the water and gases and for current leadout. The bipolar electrodes are interlaid with the separators, whereupon the adjacent portions of the flanged rims are welded together into an integral block of bipolar electrodes. The proposed method makes it possible to completely dispense with manual labor and simplify the production techniques.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
227 words
A method of producing standby water-activated primary current sources, comprising the steps of: hermetically sealing, with a water-repellent insulant, ends and edges of each of a plurality of negative electrodes forming part of a bipolar electrode; shaping a flanged rim along the perimeter of each of said negative electrodes concurrently with said hermetical sealing of said ends and edges of each of said negative electrodes, said flanged rim forming a continuous inclined surface with respect to the electrode surface and its height exceeding the thickness of the bipolar electrode and of a separator; forming at least one inclined shoulder on the flanged rim for passage of water and gases and for current leadout, concurrently with said shaping of said flanged rim, said inclined shoulder being formed at an angle different from the angle of inclination of the flange rim; providing current leadouts on at least two electrodes; interlaying said bipolar electrodes with separators in such a way that the negative part of one bipolar electrode is insulated with the separator from the positive part of an adjacent bipolar electrode; stacking said bipolor electrodes such that the inclined surfaces of the flanged rims of adjacent bipolar electrodes are in contacting relationship; welding together the adjoining surfaces of the flanged rims into an integral block of bipolar electrodes, said welding occuring along opposed inclined surfaces of the flanged rims.
