A method of fabricating an electrode for use in a metal chloride battery and an electrode are provided. The electrode has relatively larger and more uniform pores than those found in typical electrodes. The fabrication method includes the steps of mixing sodium chloride particles selected from a predetermined size range with metal particles selected from a predetermined size range, and then rigidifying the mixture. The electrode exhibits lower resistivity values of approximately 0.5 {Omega}cm{sup 2} than those resistivity values of approximately 1.0--1.5 {Omega}cm{sup 2} exhibited by currently available electrodes.

Patent for the usefulness of baling press.

Patent for a boll weevil exterminator. This invention is designed to remove boll weevils from cotton plants and crushing them between rollers. Illustration included.

Patent for a bailing press. Illustrations included.

In a process for the co-processing of waste rubber and carbonaceous material to form a useful liquid product, the rubber and the carbonaceous material are combined and heated to the depolymerization temperature of the rubber in the presence of a source of hydrogen. The deploymerized rubber acts as a liquefying solvent for the carbonaceous material while a beneficial catalytic effect is obtained from the carbon black released on deploymerization the reinforced rubber. The reaction is carried out at liquefaction conditions of 380--600{degrees}C and 70--280 atmospheres hydrogen pressure. The resulting liquid is separated from residual solids and further processed such as by distillation or solvent extraction to provide a carbonaceous liquid useful for fuels and other purposes.

Patent for a wire-coiling machine that improves on a previous patent (No. 296,806), that was granted to Wildermuth. The improvement allows for either left- or right-handed use, by making the crank movable to either side and by "providing the upper end of the post at opposite sides with stationary cutter blades and a single movable cutter adapted to be shifted for operation with either one of the said fixed cutters" (lines 28-32).

Patent for a wire-stretcher meant for making barbed wire fences that is more efficient than other wire-stretchers. It has a bent plate, a split hook swiveled to the plate, a rotatable rod that goes through the plate, stretching wire that is secured to the rod, and the split hook is attached to the wire.

Patent for a new device that "embodies a trailer connected in a novel manner to a truck of the ordinary form, so that the trailer wheels will track the rear truck wheels” (lines 9-12), including an illustration.

Patent for a vehicle seat brace. The invention is a brace for seats to sustain weight placed in the seat. Illustration included.

Patent for an improved transmission mechanism for changing speed of tractors and other machines, with illustrations. The improvement is in the arrangement and assembly of the component parts to improve efficiency and to provide several different forward speeds as well as a reverse speed.

Patent for an animal trap, the unique elements of which are found in the "combination and arrangement of parts" (lines 16-17). Improvements include but are not limited to the addition of an open-ended case, a depressed platform and various links.

Patent for a new and useful Vehicle-Wheel, "which is formed with a sectional felly, and embodies novel features of construction whereby the felly can be readily removed from position, or quickly assembled and expanded into a tight engagement with the rim, without the aid of a blacksmith or the necessity of using any special tools or appliances" (lines 14-21).

Patent for a new and improved mechanical movement. This design consists in "[t]he combination, with the vertical post or upright having guideways formed therein, and the horizontally-disposed shaft having the pinion secured thereon, of the slidable block or frame, the rack-bars pivotally secured to the lower end thereof and having oppositely-projecting teeth, and the spring connected to the lower ends of said rack-bars" (lines 68-75).

Patent for a combination brush and comb with cover, designed with spring clutches to allow each article to hold in its desired position, including illustrations and instructions

Patent for a new and improved spring-connection for pump-rods. This design "is designed more particularly for pumps or windmills, and has for its object to provide for the working of the pump with less power and to utilize the downstroke for the purpose of storing power to aid the piston-rod in its upstroke" (lines 15-20).

Patent for an invention that improves upon portable power stump boring machines to prevent breakage of the auger or shaft, including instructions and illustrations.

Patent for a new and improved sulky plow. This design "consists in a sulky-plow constructed with the sliding block carrying the adjustable wheel locked in place by a sliding spring-pressed bolt and withdrawn by means of an elbow-lever. The sliding wheel-carrying block is provided with rack-teeth engaging with the teeth of a double-gear wheel placed loosely upon the journal of the plow-crank, and connected with the plow-crank lever by a pawl, whereby the machine can be leveled and the plow adjusted by means of the same lever (lines 20-31).

Patent for gin attachment for bolly cotton. This seeks to make the gin stands have automatic control and for disposing of hulls and waste products from the gin.

Patent for hay-presses relating to the arraignment and and construction of the means for operating the plunger of the press whereby reciprocation of the plunger may be secured by the revolution of an arm or lever whereby a single or double reciprocation of the plunger during a single revolution of the arm or lever may be secured as desired.

Patent for a new round folding table with leaves, includes illustrations and instructions.

Patent for fence post mold. Illustration included.

Patent for a simple, inexpensive, and effective fish trap formed of wire fabric and fabric strips.
