Filed:

Jul 9, 1996

Appl. No.:

08/678510

Inventors:

Maria Simpson - Rochester Hills MI, US
Torrence L. Duffy - West Bloomfield MI, US
Charles Simpson - Rochester Hills MI, US

International Classification:

H01M 8/04
H01M 8/10

US Classification:

429 32, 429 30, 429 34, 429 39

Abstract:

A fuel cell which is producible in high volume has electrolyte, positive electrode and negative electrode components which incorporate structure, external electrical connections, internal fuel and oxidizer distribution and an exhaust passage to form a simple assembly which can be formed into a stack. The fuel cell can utilize either a rigid or a flexible electrolyte. The components are manufacturable by a process of printing rolled or flat stock, cutting where appropriate and stacking into a fuel cell assembly.

International Classification:

B65D023/10
B65D090/02

US Classification:

215396000, 215373000, 215384000, 215381000

Abstract:

A container includes a hollow body having a finish extending from the body. The finish has an open end, at least one external thread for securement of a closure, and a pair of spaced external circumferential flanges on a side of the thread remote from the open end of the finish. A bale handle includes a ring having resilient internal tabs captured beneath the lower of the flanges remote from the open end of the finish, and a handle extending from the ring for carrying the container. The upper flange, which preferably has a greater outside diameter than the lower flange, has an undersurface that is free of obstruction from the bale handle and therefore is adapted to perform support functions for the container after attachment of the bale handle to the container finish.
