Abstract:
An electric lantern has a case in two portions which may be opened to permit replacement of batteries without disengagement of the other components from the upper portion of the case. Means are provided to retain the lamp and upper portion of the battery case as retained members of a structurally engaged assembly which may be disengaged from the lower portion of the battery case. As a separate feature, a lens may be disengaged from the battery case to permit replacement of the electric lamp without opening the battery case. A rod is used as a member of the engagement means which hold the lantern components together; in addition, the rod may be part of the lantern''s electrical circuit. The electrical circuit may be designed so that it is opened when the battery case is opened and/or when the lens is disengaged from the battery case.
Abstract:
Duplex electrodes are constructed by placing intermittent deposits of positive and negative electrodes on opposite sides of a continuous, electrically nonconductive carrier strip. Electrically conductive material on both sides of and extending through holes in the nonconductive strip is used to conduct current between the positive and negative electrodes. The duplex electrodes are assembled into multicell batteries, preferably while the duplex electrodes are structurally connected by the continuous carrier strip; the carrier strip is then subsequently cut between duplex electrodes to obtain structurally unconnected batteries. Alternatively, the carrier strip may be cut between duplex electrodes before those electrodes are assembled into multicell batteries.
Abstract:
PLEX ELECTRODES ARE STRUCTUALLY CONNECTED BY THE CONTINUOUS CARRIER STRIP; THE CARRIER STRIP IS THEN SUBSEQUENTLY CUT BETWEEN DUPLEX ELECTRODES TO OBTAIN STRUCTURALLY UNCONNECTED BATTERIES. ALTERNATIVELY, THE CARRIER STRIP MAY BE CUT BETWEEN DUPLEX ELECTRODES BEFORE THOSE ELECTRODES ARE ASSEMBLED INTO MULTICELL BATTERIES.
DUPLEX ELECTRODES ARE CONSTRUCTED BY PLACING INTERMITTENT DEPOSITS OF POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ELECTRODES ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF A CONTINUOUS, ELECTRICALLY NONCONDUCTIVE CARRIER STRIP. ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL ON BOTH SIDES OF AND EXTENDING THROUGH HOLES IN THE NONCONDUCTIVE STRIP IS USED TO CONDUCT CURRENT BETWEEN THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ELECTRODES.

Abstract:
Duplex electrodes are constructed by placing intermittent deposits of positive and negative electrodes on opposite sides of a continuous metal carrier strip having two nonreactive metal sides. In another embodiment, duplex electrodes are constructed by placing intermittent deposits of positive electrodes on the only nonreactive side of the bimetal carrier strip, with the reactive side of the bimetal strip functioning as the negative electrode in the duplex electrode. The duplex electrodes are assembled into multicell batteries. The assembly preferably occurs while the duplex electrodes are structurally and electrically connected by the continuous metal carrier strip; the carrier strip is then subsequently cut between duplex electrodes to obtain structurally and electrically unconnected batteries. Alternatively, the carrier strip may be cut between duplex electrodes before those electrodes are assembled into multicell batteries.
