Rapidly refuelable fuel cell
First Claim
1. A refuelable fuel cell comprising a housing including two opposite walls, an anode support carried by one of said walls within said housing and generally defining the position of an anode within said housing, an anode supply opening in the other of said walls in alignment with said anode support, a pair of cathodes positioned on opposite sides of said anode position for cooperation with an anode to form dual cells, pressure means for separately urging each cathode at a constant force towards said anode position, and means for supplying an electrolyte between each of said cathodes and said anode position.

Abstract
A rapidly refuelable dual cell of an electrochemical type wherein a single anode cooperates with two cathodes and wherein the anode has a fixed position and the cathodes are urged toward opposite faces of the anodes at constant and uniform force. The associated cathodes are automatically retractable to permit the consumed anode remains to be removed from the housing and a new anode inserted between the two cathodes.
