NOVELTY - An alkaline electrochemical cell includes a cathode assembly comprising a cathode wrapped in a special sheet of studded insulating material. A plate separator (4) comprises an oval-shaped annular ring. An anode assembly comprises anodes (3), and special steel stampings. An alkaline aqueous electrolyte (17) comprises a solution of potassium hydroxide in water.    USE - For storing chemical energy.    ADVANTAGE - The cell is reasonably safe and environmentally desirable. It regenerates a substantial portion of its charge automatically. The cell can be cheaply manufactured using high-speed production technology. It incorporates an alkaline freeze-resistant electrolyte that maintains a relatively constant specific gravity throughout the complete cycle of charge and discharge. The cell has an exceptionally long anode life and a cathodic resistance to premature failure. It prevents alkaline mists during charging, and reduces carbonate formations in the electrolyte.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An alkaline electrochemical cell comprises a suitable container (1) with an initially open top end. A cathode assembly comprises a cathode (5) of zinc, a steel conductor securely embedded in the cathode and extending outward.    The cathode is wrapped in a special sheet of studded insulating material provided with a semi-perforated edge on both sides permitting ionic communication.    A plate separator comprises an oval-shaped annular ring with a wide flat bottom made of a suitable insulating material provided with vertical notches corresponding to the anodes securely placed within them. An anode assembly comprises anodes, and special steel stampings.    It further comprises an electrically conductive strip, an anode shell(s) provided with foldable tabs, an anode shield(s) perforated and directly adjacent to their respective shells, and a perforated anode tip(s) coated with a paste comprising a mixture of iron powder and carbon powder properly wetted.    The anode tips are covered with sacks comprising a permeable alkaline resistant material initially folded and sealed on each side, and are folded over the anode shields.    The anode tips and the anode shields are folded over the anode shells. The foldable tabs of the anode shells are bent over, and subjected to slight pressure to secure the assembly. The anode assembly is bent twice more at the connecting strip until the anodes are parallel and the connecting strip is perpendicular to both.    A steel conductor assembly is affixed to the connecting strip and extending outward. An alkaline aqueous electrolyte comprises a solution of potassium hydroxide in water. A cell cover (2) has an opening for pouring liquid into the cell, a closure mechanism provided to close the opening, and a ventilation mechanism and holes are provided for terminal studs (10).
