Charging device with stress stored by charging that is initiated by
externally applied force, and that being eventually released by
heat due to charging saturation
Abstract
A secondary cell featuring transient rise in temp. once charged
to saturation, to be coupled and thereby forming a composite
structure with a charging assembly by mutual engagement of
conductive contacts provided on either part, the force of union
generated by the coupling will compress a thermosetting prestressed
means which is a spring or otherwise prestressed element while the
coupling brings the contacts into conduction by which the charging
is initiated, the momentum prestressed thereby will be released
once charging in the secondary cell reaches its saturation, and
that followed by cutoff of the charging current to the secondary
cell.

alternatively, kicking off of contacts on the secondary cell set
only, or of contacts on the charging assembly only, or of contacts
within the charging assembly only, and power supply is blocked
forthwith. Structured accordingly, when the secondary cell is
loaded into the charging assembly, force applied externally will
compel the cell to bring contacts on both the charging assembly and
the cell into conductive coupling whereupon charging to the cell
begins, and that in turn brings the Battery Charging Saturation
Testing Device to a testing state, once the cell is charged to
saturation, then both the Charging Saturation Testing Device and

Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] Along with booming development of hand-held type or portable
electric appliances or utilities secondary rechargeable batteries
or cells are finding ever more extensive applications from day to
day, that being the background, the present invention relates to an
embodiment comprising a charging assembly and a secondary battery
set to be mounted therein and being matched therewith,
characterized with transient temperature rise in response to a
charging saturation, such as, for example, a nickel/cadmium, a
nickel/hydrogen, a nickel/zinc, or a ferrous nickel cell, executed
in a specific configuration, both parts being furnished with
conductive contacts to facilitate transfer of electric power to
each other, once force is applied thereto, a spring will be
compressed to store stress, meantime contacts are brought into
conduction to initiate a charging cycle, stress stored in the
spring will be released by control of both the saturation testing
device and the interfacing matched thereto, whereby contacts
binding the secondary cell and the charging assembly are undone,
the undoing may be made with respect only to the secondary battery
cell, or only to the charging assembly, or still only to conductive
contacts inside the charging assembly, so that charging current in
the secondary cell is cut off altogether; said saturation testing
device comprising: temperature sensor to test the rise in
temperature when the cell charging reaches its saturation, and that
in turn serving to determine the timing to cut off charging once
saturation is reached, or alternatively a temperature testing means
may be provided with conductive contacts in the charging assembly,
so that the battery cell is secured in place when inserted into the
charging assembly and a stable conduction is made way between the
entire charging assembly and the cell, so that charging may occur
with respect to the cell alright, in the meantime, the temperature
sensor is maintained in a set status under test until when
saturation occurs on the cell that is being charged, cell going
through a rise in temperature to bring the temperature sensor to a
respondent reaction, whereby the charging assembly and the cell are
driven to a on-release, cutoff status, and power supply to the
secondary cell is cut off, charging current blocked
accordingly.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The present invention relates to a combination to specific
configuration of a secondary battery cell set characterized with a
transient temp. rise when charged to saturation, with a charging
assembly which goes with the battery set, both parts being
furnished with conductive contacts to transfer power between
themselves, by the force prevailing when both are embodied together
heat produced by the spring that is being applied at the same time
or due to other storage parts is applied to release the prestressed
means, conductive contacts are thereby brought into conduction, and
a charging cycle is initiated, when charging to the secondary cell
reaches saturation, heat will intervene to release the prestressed
state whereby conductive contacts on both the secondary cell set
and the charging assembly are pushed apart, and charging current
theretofore charging to the secondary cell is cut off
altogether.

into the charging assembly, force applied externally will compel
the cell to bring contacts on both the charging assembly and the
cell into conductive coupling whereupon charging to the cell
begins, and that in turn brings the Battery Charging Saturation
Testing Device to a testing state, once the cell is charged to
saturation, then both the Charging Saturation Testing Device and
the interfacing matched thereby will respond to reset both the
charging assembly and the cell set to a released, that is, open
state, and power supply to the secondary cell set is blocked
forthwith.

between the secondary cell set H102 and the charging assembly H101,
to result in unmaking of contact couplings on both the secondary

[0183] Compressible piece of or annular spring SP103: a spring as
such interposed way between the coupling interfacing of the
charging assembly H101 and the secondary cell set H102, when both
are coupled the compression produced thereby will leave its effect

is given in FIG. 46.
[0185] A twenty sixth example of the invention is illustrated in
FIG. 47 which is in fact a modification of the example shown in
FIG. 45 by the addition of an auxiliary conductive contact P100 to
the charging assembly H101, once a rise in temp. is occasioned by
the charging of the secondary cell B101 to its saturation, such
that the memory alloy or binary metal base thermosetting contacts

current to the secondary cell B101 is cut off forthwith, at this
juncture contact THP101 on the charging assembly H101 is still
maintained conductive with contact P311 on the secondary cell set
H102, and by the provision of an auxiliary contact P100 in series
with a current limiting resistor R101 in line with power supply,
conduction is made with contact P312 on the secondary cell set
H102, and that making possible the maintaining of an ongoing, small
current charged by the power supply to the secondary cell B101.
[0186] A circuit diagram descriptive of the example of FIG. 47 is
given in FIG. 48.
[0187] A twenty seventh example of the invention whereof the temp.
sensor is executed in the form of a memory alloy or binary metal
base thermosetting structure interposed way between the secondary
cell and the charging assembly, is illustrated in FIG. 49,
featuring the provision of a trigger switch LS101 opposite the
charging assembly H101, for control of the input side or output
side of the power supply, when the secondary cell set H102 and the
charging assembly H101 are combined, contacts P102, P106 on the
secondary cell set H102 forms a pair with contacts P101, P105 on
the charging assembly H101, and that in conduction, meantime the
trigger switch LS101 in control of the power supply for charging
purposes is enabled to bring the power supply to the charging
assembly H101 charging with respect to the secondary cell B101 in
the secondary cell set H102, the force of union incurred thereupon
will compress, in the meantime, the memory alloy or binary metal
base thermosetting structure TH501, when the secondary cell B101 is
charged to its saturation a driving power will be created to drive
an auxiliary heater HT101, whereby heat is produced to deform the
memory alloy or binary metal base thermosetting structure TH501
interposed way between the secondary cell set H102 and the charging
assembly H101, to the effect that the contact-to-contact coupling
between the secondary cell set and the charging assembly is
defeated, including alternatively defeating of contacts on the
secondary cell set only, or defeating of contacts on or within the
charging assembly only, concurrent with unmaking of the trigger
switch LS101 in control of the power supply in charge of the
charging operation between the secondary cell set H102 and the
charging assembly H101, followed by cutoff of the charging current
to the secondary cell B101, for its realization this example
comprises essentially:
[0188] Charging assembly H101: in plane or dovetail coupling with
the secondary cell set H102, furnished with D.C. power supply and
contacts P101, P105 for coupling with the secondary cell set H102,
as well as trigger switch LS101 in control of power supply for
charging purposes by switching on or off the input or output of the

secondary cell by way of a charging circuit;
[0190] Secondary cell set H102: enclosed in an insulation casing

[0191] Conventional emplacement for charging stability interposed
between the secondary cell set H102 and the charging assembly
H101;
[0192] Memory alloy or binary metal base thermosetting structure
TH501: provided singly or plurally, interposed way between the
interfacing of the charging assembly H101 and the secondary cell
set H102 and compressed tight when both are combined together, and
will drive, by the heat produced when charging in the secondary
cell B101 reaches its saturation, the auxiliary electric heater
HT101, which in turn results in an expansion of the memory alloy or
binary metal base thermosetting structure TH501, and that
eventually defeats the contact-to-contact coupling between the
secondary cell set and the charging assembly, including
alternatively unmaking of contacts on the secondary cell set alone
or of contacts on or within the charging assembly alone, such that
the trigger switch LS101 controlling the power supply is driven
open, and charging current to the secondary cell B101 cut off
forthwith.
[0193] A twenty eighth example of the invention is illustrated in
FIG. 50, which is in fact a modification of the example shown in
FIG. 49 by the addition of an auxiliary conductive contact P100 to
the charging assembly H101, when charging in the secondary cell
B101 reaches its saturation with heat produced thereby invested in
the form of electric power which in turn drives the auxiliary
electric heater HT101 to yield thermal energy sufficient to reset
the memory alloy or binary metal base thermosetting structure
TH501, the contact-to-contact coupling between the secondary cell
set and the charging assembly is defeated, including alternatively
defeating of the contacts on the secondary cell set only, or of the
contacts on or within the charging assembly only, and charging
current to the secondary cell B101 is cut off forthwith, at this
juncture charging assembly H101 by its contact P101 and the
secondary cell set H102 through its contact P102 are maintained
mutually conductive all the same, while the auxiliary contact P100
in series with the power supply by way of a current limiting
resistor R101 maintains conductive with contact P106 on the
secondary cell B101, such that small but ongoing current is
maintained way from power supply to the secondary cell B101 for
charging purposes.
[0194] In any of the examples numbered 1 through 28 disclosed
hereinbefore, coupling of the charging assembly H101 with the
secondary cell set H102 may be executed vertically, and unmaking of
the coupling done downwards as opposed to coupling which is done
upwardly; or alternatively the coupling may be executed downwards,
and unmaking upwardly; or still the coupling may be executed
horizontally, and disengagement likewise horizontally; and indeed
coupling and disengagement may be designed and executed otherwise
in other angular setting as preferred in any specific
application.
[0195] In FIG. 51 is shown an example of the invention whereof the
secondary cell set is executed in a block to be coupled with the
charging assembly by engaging into a chute channel provided for the
purpose, for its execution this example comprises:
[0196] A charging assembly H101: to be coupled with the secondary
cell set vertically upwardly, and disengaged therefrom downwardly;
or alternatively to be coupled downwardly and disengaged upwardly;
or still coupled and disengaged horizontally; or else coupled and
disengaged in otherwise chosen angular settings; on which is
provided a chute channel to accommodate the secondary cell set
H102; furnished with D.C. power supply and contacts P801, P805 as
well as permanent magnet PM300, and memory alloy or binary metal
base thermosetting structure TH501 or alternatively a helicoidal
spring TH601 of the same base and to the same purpose; on the
secondary cell set H102 are equipped contacts P802, P806 for
coupling with the secondary cell B101 within and magnet core F102;
when the charging assembly H101 and the secondary cell set H102 are
combined, mutual attraction between said Magnet core F102 on the
secondary cell set H102 and the Permanent Magnet PM300 on the
charging assembly will compress the memory alloy or binary metal
base thermosetting structure TG501, or a helicoidal spring
execution thereof TG601 to thermally induced deformation, thereby
setting contacts P801, P805 on the charging assembly into
conduction with contacts P802, P806 on the secondary cell set,
followed by charging with respect to the secondary cell B101 since
the secondary cell set is equipped with thermo-transmission block
TC101 which is coupled to the memory alloy or binary metal base
thermosetting structure TH501 on the charging assembly, when
charging in the secondary cell reaches its saturation concurrent
with the release of heat, the memory alloy or binary metal base
thermosetting structure TH501 will discharge a push in the wake of
such a heat, and that push sufficient to disengage both the magnet
core F102 and the permanent magnet PM300, and coacting contact
pairs on both the secondary cell set and on the charging assembly
are defeated in suit, including alternatively the defeating of
contacts on the secondary cell set alone, or on or within the
charging assembly alone, and charging current to the secondary cell
B101 is cut off forthwith.
[0197] This model of charging device featuring the storage of
prestress by maximization of force of union and the release of same
prestress through thermal actuation to achieve unmaking of power
supply incorporates furthermore a secondary cell charging means of
which both positive/negative terminals are meant to be accessed to
axial receptacles on specific applications, such that in the wake
of a rise in temp. occasioned by charging of the secondary cell to
its saturation, the secondary cell set will get rid of the charging
electrode, and that resulting in cutoff of charging current, for
execution this model comprises essentially:
[0198] A reciprocal, resilient pair of retention formed by contacts
P400, P401 on the charging assembly H101 with contacts P500, P501
on the secondary cell set H102, and a memory alloy or binary metal
base thermosetting structure TH801 executed in a metal sheet or
helicoidal spring, positioned under the secondary cell set, which
cell set H102 sets steady and stable when loaded with a secondary
cell B101 therein, and said thermosetting structure TH801 will get
deformed thermally when the secondary cell set H102 is charged to
its saturation, and that sufficient to unmake the
contact-to-contact coupling between the secondary cell set and the
charging assembly, including alternatively unmaking of contacts on
the secondary cell only, or of contacts on or within the charging
assembly only, and the charging operation is cut off forthwith.

than coupling for conduction purpose with counterpart contacts
P500, P501 on the secondary cell set H102, also to store and
exhibit resilient retention for holding the secondary cell set
H102, and, by incorporating compressible spring SP104, executed in
a piece or helicoidal spring, integral with the secondary cell B101
when it is loaded into the secondary cell set H102, will account
for a compression means, so that they, the contacts P402, P403,
given the attribute as such, will get deformed by the heat released
once charging in the secondary cell reaches its saturation, when
that happens, the secondary cell set H102 is released, and the
compression spring SP104 will defeat forthright the
contact-to-contact coupling between the secondary cell and the
charging assembly, including alternatively defeating of contacts

resulting in dissociation of the insulated stretch arm A100 on the
contact PSP406 that is retained by prestress, apart from the
