Abstract
A depolarizing device conditioning for small batteries includes an open ended housing for receiving and holding a large battery to be used as a source of depolarizing current, a carrier, for receiving a small battery to be depolarized, configured to be slidably received in the open end of the housing and a cover to be placed over the end of the housing and the holder. A contact assembly includes a spring connecting one end of the large battery to a conductive member extending over the open end of the housing and a cooperating conductive member extending across the interior of the cover and terminating at the open end of the cover, the ends of the conductive members are configured to releasably, lockably interact so as to retain the small battery in conductive, conditioning relationship with the large battery.
Claims8
A conditioner for depolarizing miniature batteries comprising in combination;
- a hollow cylindrical housing having an open upper end and comprised of insulating material for receiving a storage battery source of current;
- first electrical contact means of conductive material extending over the sides of said housing at the open upper end thereof forming a catch and interiorly extending to the bottom of said housing and including conductive spring biasing means to engage one end of said storage battery;
- carrier means comprised of insulating material for receiving a miniature battery to be depolarized, said means dimensioned to be slidably received in the open end of said housing and including a central aperture for receiving said battery to be depolarized;
- and
- cover means comprised of insulating material and having an open lower end, dimensioned to be slidably received over the open end of said housing and, including second electrical contact means extending thereacross for engagement with said miniature battery to be depolarized at its center, said second means including a latch adapted to conductively, latchably engage the catch of the first contact means in said housing.
A conditioner for depolarizing miniature batteries comprising in combination;
- a hollow cylindrical housing having one open end comprised of insulating material and shaped to receive and hold a cylindrical battery source;
- carrier means dimensioned to overlie the end of said battery, said carrier means comprised of insulating material, including a centrally disposed aperture, said aperture being shaped to receive and retain a miniature battery to be depolarized in polaric relationship to said cylindrical battery and said carrier being configured to position said miniature battery to be depolarized in conductive relationship with one end of said cylindrical battery;
- and
- conductive latching means connected to the other end of said battery within said housing, extending outwardly from the open end of said housing and including means for conductively engaging the other end of said miniature battery to be depolarized and retaining said carrier and said miniature battery to be depolarized in operative conductive disposition on the other end of said battery.
A conditioner for depolarizing miniature batteries comprising in combination;
- a hollow cylindrical housing having an open upper end and comprised of insulating material for receiving a storage battery source of current;
- conductive catch means extending over the side of said housing at the open upper end thereof forming a catch and interiorly extending to the bottom of said housing including conductive spring biasing means to engage one end of said storage battery;
- carrier means comprised of insulating material for receiving a miniature battery to be depolarized, said means dimensioned to be slidably received in the open end of said housing and including a central aperture for receiving said miniature battery to be depolarized;
- and
- conductive latch means extending across the open upper end of the housing for conductive engagement with said miniature battery to be depolarized and being adapted to connectably engage the catch means to releasably hold the storage battery source and the carrier means within the housing in an operable conductive disposition.
