Abstract
Abstract Electrochemical storage cell of the Na/S type with an anode space and a cathode space separated by a solid electrolyte within which a safety container for sodium is arranged which is in communication with the interior of the solid electrolyte via a hole. A flow resistance having several discharge openings for passage of sodium is arranged in the hole of the safety container.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
Electrochemical storage cell based on sodium and sulfur comprising an anode space and a cathode space which are separated from each other by a cup-shaped solid electrolyte, a safety container for sodium arranged within the solid electrolyte, a hole in the safety container which is in communication with the interior of the solid electrolyte and provided with a flow resistance formed by a screw with an external thread, which screw is screwed into the hole of the safety container, said screw having a through hole which extends in its longitudinal axis and into which through hole a notched pin is inserted having in its outside surface at least three notches which are spaced from each other and extend parallel to the longitudinal axis of the notched pin.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
127 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
128 words
Electrochemical storage cell based on sodium and sulfur comprising an anode space and a cathode space which are separated from each other by a cup-shaped solid electrolyte, a safety container for sodium arranged within the solid electrolyte, a hole in the safety container which is in communication with the interior of the solid electrolyte and provided with a flow resistance formed by a screw with an external thread screwed into the hole of the safety container, said screw having a through hole which extends in its longitudinal axis and into which through hole a sintered pin is inserted which pin is made of an open-pore corrosion-resistant material with the pores interconnecting to form a plurality of canals through which sodium may flow generally parallel to its longitudinal axis.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
128 words

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
Electrochemical storage cell according to claim 2, wherein the sintered pin is made of nickel.
