ABSTRACT:
A method for assembling a primary electrochemical cell. The method in accordance with the invention includes the initial step of arranging a plurality of cell components, each having an opening extending therethrough, relative to an elongated, slotted, expandable metal tube so that the tube is loosely disposed within and along the openings in the cell components and the cell components loosely surround the tube in a stacked array. The cell components employed in this step include a plurality of anode structures each having a plurality of resilient, deflective portions facing in the direction of the terminal member and lying within a flat, common plane. Each of the deflective portions further has a contact edge facing in the direction of the terminal member. An expanding member in the form of a solid metal rod is inserted into and progressively advanced along the expandable tube. The expanding member causes the tube to progressively and permanently expand outwardly by an amount to make direct physical contact with the contact edges of the deflective portions of the multiple anode structures, in succession, deflect the deflective portions of each anode structure, and thereafter maintain direct physical contact with the contact edges of such anode structure. By virtue of the above expansion operation, the anode structures are secured to the expanded metal tube.
