Hermetically sealed alkali metal battery container

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6540622
The invention is embodied in a hermetically sealed alkali metal battery container. Two opposed outer metallic casings each having an open end and a closed end are hermetically sealed to a ceramic ring which supports an inner casing of a solid alkali ion-conductive material. The hermetic seal is accomplished by means of a pressure-accepting shoulder formed on one of the casings and a metal pressure sleeve which acts on the shoulder to draw the open ends of each of the casings into sealing engagement, respectively, with upper and lower surfaces of the ceramic ring. 4 figures.
