ABSTRACT:
1. An electro-chemical interval timing device comprising a casing, an eleolyte within said casing, a cap sealing said casing, a lead cathode carried by said cap and extending into said casing contained electrolyte at one end and extending beyond said cap outwardly of said casing at the other end, a plurality of silver anodes, means for mounting said anodes in said cap to provide outside connection posts for one end of each of said anodes, the other end of each anode being formed with a rounded head of exact predetermined size and shape, said head extending into said electrolyte, a plurality of cups carried by said caps respectively, each cup partially housing one of said anodes, a plurality of spring biased plugs, each of said plugs being partially housed by one of said cups and connected to one of said anodes, means retaining each of said anodes to their attached plug, a plurality of battery energized circuits each connected to said cathode and to one of said anodes, a variable resistance in each of said circuits, means initiating said battery energized circuits, a second plurality of circuits, each of said second circuits including an open switch positioned adjacent one of said spring biased plugs whereby the energization of said battery energized circuits will cause current to pass through the electrolyte and dissolve the heads of said anodes at an equal rate, said plugs and their attached anodes being released by the dissolving of said anode heads in accordance with their different sizes and shapes.
