3. The cover device of claim 2, further comprising a hidden panel in the front cover of the device, which hidden compartment is accessed by means of a simple pull-tab, on which the user can secure a package of sticky notes, paper clips or other accessories.
4. The cover device of claim 3 further comprising a series of slotted pocket like holders, designed to accommodate markers, highlighting pens and pencils are included, facilitating a wide variety of storage needs.
5. The cover device of claim 2 produced in an array of vibrant colors, patterns and printed designs, as well as in basic neutral hues.
6. The cover device of claim 2 produced in a variety of materials including, but not limited to lightweight plastic, vinyl, soft fabric, fancy suede and leather materials.
7. The cover device of claim 2 manufactured in a range of sizes to accommodate novels, text books, journals, planners, electronic tablets and other books.
8. The cover device of claim 7 produced in a standard size of measuring approximately ten inches in length by eight inches in width.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. An improved gauntlet wet cell battery, comprising:
a substantially fluid-impervious battery case;
an anode plate;
a gauntlet cathode array having a plurality of elongated hollow spines filled with an active material, each spine of the array defining a top end and a distal free end, the spines being electrically and mechanically interconnected at the top ends by an integral structure;
a substantially conductive bottom end cap electrically and mechanically interconnected with the spine free ends so as to close and substantially rigidly locate the free ends with respect to one another;
a plurality of ion-permeable fabric covers substantially encasing the elongated spines; and
an electrolyte in solution with water in the battery case such that the anode plate, gauntlet cathode array, bottom end cap, and fabric covers are all substantially received in the battery case.
2. The improved gauntlet wet cell battery of claim 1, including an ion-porous separator between the anode plate and cathode array.
3. The improved gauntlet wet cell battery of claim 1, wherein the anode plate is also an array having a plurality of elongated hollow spines filled with an active material, each spine of the array defining a top end and a distal free end, the spines being electrically and mechanically interconnected at the top and bottom ends by an integral conductive structure.
4. The improved gauntlet wet cell battery of claim 3, wherein a number of cathode spines is one less than a number of anode spines and the spines are closely packed together.
5. The improved gauntlet wet cell battery of claim 1, wherein the anode plate is manufactured from a material selected from one of the following: foamed lead, compressed lead wool, lead sheets and composite material.
6. The improved gauntlet wet cell battery of claim 1, wherein the active material in the spines is substantially powdered lead.
7. The improved gauntlet wet cell battery of claim 1, wherein the fabric covers are substantially manufactured from one of a group consisting of carbon fiber, polyester fabric, and Kevlar\xae fiber.
8. The improved gauntlet wet cell battery of claim 1, wherein the electrolyte consists essentially of H9O4.
9. The improved gauntlet wet cell battery of claim 1, wherein the bottom end cap is substantially manufactured from lead.
10. The improved gauntlet wet cell battery of claim 1, wherein the anode plate is the battery case.
11. The improved gauntlet wet cell battery of claim 1, wherein each spine consists of a central elongated conductor substantially surrounded by an elongated annulus consisting of active material radially restrained by a fabric gauntlet coated with an ion permeable resin.
