Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
90 words
An electrolytic capacitor comprising a pair of convolutely wound electrodes with interleaved spacers in contact with an electrolyte, one of said electrodes being an anode and bearing a barrier dielectric oxide on the surface thereof, the other of said electrodes being a cathode of at least one sheet of a porous, non-calendered, high surface-area continuous substrate onto which aluminum has been deposited other than by spraying in a layer of about 2000 A to 5000 A thickness on each surface of said substrarte to provide a continuous high-purity cathode strip.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
90 words
An electrolytic capacitor comprising a pair of convolutely wound electrodes with interleaved spacers in contact with an electrolyte, one of said electrodes being an anode and bearing a barrier dielectric oxide on the surface thereof, the other of said electrodes being a cathode of at least one sheet of a porous, non-calendered, high surface-area continuous substrate onto which aluminum has been deposited other than by spraying in a layer of about 2000 A to 5000 A thickness on each surface of said substrarte to provide a continuous high-purity cathode strip.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
12 words
A capacitor according to claim 1 wherein said substrate is Manila paper.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
A capacitor according to claim 2 wherein said metallized layer is about 2000 A to 3000 A thickness.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
A capacitor according to claim 1 wherein said aluminum is vacuum deposited on said substrate.
