US4283263A — Cover for electrolytic cells

Claim 1

Independent Claim 83 words

A cover for an electrolytic cell for producing chlorine comprising a laminated plate, a tension resistent insert member imbedded in the laminated plate, said laminated plate consisting essentially of overlapping sheets firmly joined face to face to each other, that sheet of the laminated plate which has a surface exposed outwardly of the cell being an elastomeric composition which is resistent to heat and ozone and the surface of the plate facing the inside of the cell being neoprene vulcanized with lead oxide.

Claim 2

Dependent Claim 83 words

A cover for an electrolytic cell for producing chlorine comprising a laminated plate, a tension resistent insert member imbedded in the laminated plate, said laminated plate consisting essentially of overlapping sheets firmly joined face to face to each other, that sheet of the laminated plate which has a surface exposed outwardly of the cell being an elastomeric composition which is resistent to heat and ozone and the surface of the plate facing the inside of the cell being neoprene vulcanized with lead oxide.

Claim 3

Dependent Claim 39 words

The cover of claim 1, characterized by the fact that the tension resistant insert is arranged between the sheet of elastomeric composition which is resistant to heat and to ozone, and a sheet of chloroprene vulcanized with lead oxides.

Claim 4

Dependent Claim 20 words

The cover of claim 2, characterized by the fact that the tension resistant insert is a mesh of glass fiber.

Claim 5

Dependent Claim 27 words

The cover of claim 2, characterized by the fact that the tension resistant insert is a square fabric of nylon or the like treated with an adhesive.

Claim 6

Dependent Claim 24 words

The cover of claim 2, characterized by the fact that the tension resistant insert is a square fabric of polyester treated with an adhesive.

Claim 7

Dependent Claim 107 words

A cover for an electrolytic cell for producing chlorine having a bottom, sidewalls and an open top, a mercury cathode and a titanium anode, said cover being a laminated structure adapted to close the open side and comprising from its exposed surface to its surface facing the inside of the cell, a first layer of an elastomer, a hardness of Shore A 60°-70°, a polyamide, polyester or glass fiber mesh disposed against the said first layer and having a tensile strength of more than 250 k/5 cm., a layer of chloroprene rubber vulcanized with lead oxide, and a layer of polytetrafluoroethylene facing the inside of the cell.

Claim 8

Dependent Claim 107 words

A cover for an electrolytic cell for producing chlorine having a bottom, sidewalls and an open top, a mercury cathode and a titanium anode, said cover being a laminated structure adapted to close the open side and comprising from its exposed surface to its surface facing the inside of the cell, a first layer of an elastomer, a hardness of Shore A 60°-70°, a polyamide, polyester or glass fiber mesh disposed against the said first layer and having a tensile strength of more than 250 k/5 cm., a layer of chloroprene rubber vulcanized with lead oxide, and a layer of polytetrafluoroethylene facing the inside of the cell.

Claim 9

Dependent Claim 114 words

In an electrolytic cell for producing chlorine having an open sided tank, a cover for closing said open side comprising a first externally exposed layer of an elastomeric composition which is resistant to ozone and has a Shore A hardness of 60°-70°, a tension resistant mesh fabric disposed next to the said first layer and having a tensile strength of more than 250 kg/5 cm. disposed against the inner face of said first layer, a layer of vulcanized chloroprene synthetic rubber having a hardness of Shore a 60°-80° disposed against the mesh, and facing the contents of the cell a layer of polyetrafluoroethylene, said cover having an opening therethrough for insertion of an anode.

Claim 10

Dependent Claim 114 words

In an electrolytic cell for producing chlorine having an open sided tank, a cover for closing said open side comprising a first externally exposed layer of an elastomeric composition which is resistant to ozone and has a Shore A hardness of 60°-70°, a tension resistant mesh fabric disposed next to the said first layer and having a tensile strength of more than 250 kg/5 cm. disposed against the inner face of said first layer, a layer of vulcanized chloroprene synthetic rubber having a hardness of Shore a 60°-80° disposed against the mesh, and facing the contents of the cell a layer of polyetrafluoroethylene, said cover having an opening therethrough for insertion of an anode.
