Hruden, W R

A deferred-action battery is described comprising: a rotor means having a longitudinal axis therethrough, the rotor means including a first chamber capable of holding an electrolytic solution. The first chamber has at least one off-axis portion thereof that protrudes axially away from the remainder of the first chamber; and a stator means rotatably mounted about the axis, the stator means having a second chamber which is capable of holding a carbon rod, cathode mix, separator, a bottom insulator and an anode. The stator means is axially adjacent to the rotor means, the rotor means and the stator means being rotatable with respect to each other. The axis portion axially extends into the second chamber. The stator means includes rupturing means extending radially from the axis and rotatable to contact the off-axis portion of the first chamber. The rupturing means is capable of destroying the integrity of the off-axis portion upon rotation of the rotor means with respect to the stator means to allow communication between the first and second chambers and activation of the battery.
