SHAPED ELECTRODE FOR ARRESTING ELECTRODE MOVEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240097248 titled 'SHAPED ELECTRODE FOR ARRESTING ELECTRODE MOVEMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a battery with an enclosure, an electrode cell with notches, and retaining elements to prevent movement of the electrode cell within the enclosure.

  • The battery includes an enclosure that houses an electrode cell and retaining elements.
  • The electrode cell has notches that the retaining elements engage with to secure the cell in place.
  • The retaining elements are connected to the enclosure and prevent the electrode cell from moving.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various battery-powered devices such as smartphones, laptops, electric vehicles, and power tools.

Problems Solved

This innovation solves the problem of electrode cell movement within the battery enclosure, which can lead to damage or malfunction of the battery.

Benefits

- Improved stability and safety of the battery - Enhanced performance and longevity of the battery - Simplified assembly and maintenance processes for battery manufacturers

Potential Commercial Applications

"Enhancing Battery Stability with Retaining Elements: Commercial Opportunities"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to battery designs with mechanisms to secure electrode cells in place, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact the overall size and weight of the battery?

The abstract does not mention any details about the size or weight implications of incorporating these retaining elements into the battery design.

Are there any limitations to the types of electrode cells that can be used with this design?

It is unclear from the abstract whether this design is compatible with all types of electrode cells or if there are specific requirements that need to be met.


Original Abstract Submitted

a battery may include an enclosure that defines an interior volume, an electrode cell disposed within the interior volume, and a pair of retaining elements. the electrode cell may include a pair of notches formed therein. the pair of retaining elements may be disposed within volumes defined by the pair of notches. the pair of retaining elements may be connected to the enclosure and may be configured to engage with a respective notch of the pair of notches to arrest movement of the electrode cell with respect to the enclosure.
