Abstract
An activation mechanism for a reserve battery cell generally includes a housing with a chamber containing an electrolytic solution and a delivery device configured to discharge the electrolytic solution from the housing. The delivery device includes a compressed spring configured to be released in response to an external force to initiate the discharge of the electrolytic solution from the housing.
Claims20
An activation mechanism for a reserve battery cell, the activation mechanism comprising:
- a housing with a chamber containing an electrolytic solution;
- and
- a delivery device configured to discharge the electrolytic solution from the housing, the delivery device comprising a compressed spring configured to be released in response to an external force to initiate the discharge of the electrolytic solution from the housing.
A biasing mechanism for pressurizing an electrolytic solution of a reserve battery cell, said biasing mechanism comprising:
- a compressed spring;
- and
- a trigger operatively associated with the compressed spring, wherein the trigger is configured to release the compressed spring to pressurize the electrolytic solution.
A method of assembling a biasing mechanism for releasing an electrolytic solution within a reserve battery cell, said method comprising:
- compressing a spring;
- and
- operatively associating a trigger with the compressed spring, the trigger configured to release the compressed spring such that the compressed spring decompresses to pressurize the electrolytic solution.
