  • Patent number: 7094496
    Abstract: An electric accumulator battery, constituted of a series of independent modules, each of which comprises a recipient with a lid subdivided into cells in which positive and negative helically wound electrodes and an intermediate separator are housed. The recipient of each module comprises an outer wall, of straight rectangular prismatic shape, and an inner wall which defines three cylindrical cells (9) of coplanar axes, tangent to each other and closed on the lower base. Axial ventilation passages are defined between these two walls, which pass through the base through openings (5 and 6).

  • Patent number: 6693408
    Abstract: An electric accumulator battery, comprising a recipient which is closed by means of a lid composed of a lower lid and an upper lid joined together, delimiting an intermediate chamber. The lower lid has filling holes (15), in which closing stoppers with a gas outlet valve are assembled, which end in the chamber defined between the two lids. The upper lid has openings (10) for the passage of the connection terminals (3), and at least one gas outlet hole (12). The two lids have facing ventilation openings (7-7′).

  • Patent number: 6528206
    Abstract: Electric accumulator battery, which comprises a receptacle (1) with cover, of a size which fits in the compartment traditionally reserved for this purpose in a motor vehicle. This receptacle is subdivided internally into a series of cells (2) that are distributed in two or more parallel rows between which are formed intermediate ventilation ducts (3), which are open to the outside through the bottom and the cover.

  • Patent number: 6499190
    Abstract: Handle for accumulator battery comprising a central grip and two steps on each side of the grip. The outer end walls of the steps have rounded perimeters. Each outer step is provided with an oval opening intended to cooperate with a respective pivot which the battery cover has on its opposite sides. The oval shape of the pivot cooperates with the oval shape opening due to their orientation to prevent removal of the handle at either a folded down or upraised orientation. The span of the first steps of the handle covers the terminals of the battery, and each first step permits anchoring of the cover-pieces over the terminals.

  • Patent number: 6456038
    Abstract: Electrical storage cell battery comprising electrically interconnected cells each comprising positive plates, negative plates, intermediate separators and free or immobilized electrolyte, each cell further comprising an independent cylinder which ends on its open top in a common prismatic vessel, with all cylinders placed parallel to and near each other. In the same plane, the vessel is provided at least on its external lateral surface with complementary connecting elements for mechanical attachment to other vessels, including female connecting elements and male connecting elements provided on at least two of the opposite faces of the vessel. The connecting elements may also be placed on the cylinders.
