  • Publication number: 20130183557
    Abstract: A battery capping device that rotates a plurality of breach locking battery caps by way of bars (rails) turning caps and/or sequence of caps for the simultaneous removal or installation of a multiplicity of battery caps. The present invention is designed for low profile in height and lateral space with ambidextrous access resulting from the bars (rails) being of truss bridge design with Lateral Digital Grip Protrusions as well as a Center Actuator Cap. The invention is specifically designed for inexpensive fabrication via the plastic injection molding process. The “LEAD-ACID SAFETY BATTERY CAPPING DEVICE V-2” incorporates the benefits of the “LEAD-ACID SAFETY BATTERY CAP” U.S. Pat. No. 6,746,795 B2, Schwarz.

  • Patent number: 6746795
    Abstract: A battery cap is provided for engagement in a fill port of a cell of a deep cycle, lead-acid electrical storage battery. The battery cap is formed of a hollow, tubular body having an upper end with an expansive mouth opening, and a lower end at which a transverse floor extends radially inwardly. The floor includes a central, annular convex downwardly projecting portion that defines a central fluid passage opening. The interior of the tubular wall defines a radially inwardly projecting flame arrester seat spaced from both the upper and lower ends of the body. A pair of gas escape ports are defined in the tubular wall between the flame arrester seat and the mouth opening. A diverter is located in the lower portion of the tubular body beneath a disc shaped micropore filter that serves as the flame arrester and which is seated on the flame arrester seat.
