Patent number: 10608210Abstract: A flat battery basically comprises a battery body, a plate-shaped member and an elastic member. The battery body includes a power generation unit and a case member encasing and sealing the power generation unit therein. The plate-shaped member is configured to be disposed between an outer periphery portion of the battery body and an outer periphery portion of an adjacent battery body stacked that is to be stacked on the battery body. The elastic member joins the battery body and the plate-shaped member to connect the battery body and the plate-shaped member, and covers at least part of the plate-shaped member. The plate-shaped member includes an exposed part which is exposed from part of an end surface of the elastic member which covers the plate-shaped member in a thickness direction of the battery body.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2012Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: Envision AESC Japan Ltd.Inventors: Ryuichi Amagai, Kenichi Ochiai, Masakazu Shibuya

Patent number: 9701056Abstract: A compressed air is ejected from air ejector ports (14) to between a mold surface defining cavity (12) of mold (7) and a surface of a hot melt resin layer after starting to fill or inject the hot melt resin material into cavity (12) and before a temperature of the hot melt resin material becomes equal to or lower than a softening point thereof. Recesses (Q) are formed by positively generating a “sink mark” on a surface of edge protector (6) by ejection of the compressed air, and at the same time, gap (G) is formed between the surface of edge protector (6) and the mold surface. As a result, when bead-shaped edge protector (6) is integrally formed in long-side heat-fused portions (5c) of laminated-film exterior package case (5) by using a thermoplastic hot melt resin material, mold releasability of the molded edge protector from the mold can be enhanced.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2012Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: NISSAN MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Kenichi Ochiai, Shinichiro Kitagawa, Masakazu Shibuya

Publication number: 20170113386Abstract: An injection molding method includes a filling step of pressing a nozzle of which at least a part is heated against a sprue of an insert mold and filling a molding cavity of the insert mold with a resin material in a molten state from the nozzle. After the filling step, waiting until the temperature of a front end part of the nozzle becomes equal to or lower than the melting point of the resin material in a state in which the nozzle remains pressed against the sprue in a waiting step.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2014Publication date: April 27, 2017Inventor: Kenichi Ochiai

Patent number: 7658426Abstract: Disclosed is a foam-molded member having a skin with which peeling or floating does not occur when the skin is wrapped. Also disclosed is a method of manufacturing the foam-molded member having a skin. A foam-molded member having a skin, such as a door trim, includes a core, a skin, foam and a fixing member. The core can be folded at a folding portion, and the skin faces the core. The foam is filled in a space between the core and the skin. The fixing member fixes the core that is integrally formed with the skin and the foam and is folded at the folding portion. The core is divided into a body portion and an extension portion, with the folding portion serving as a boundary. The extension portion folded at the folding portion is fixed to the body portion by the fixing member.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2008Date of Patent: February 9, 2010Assignee: Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazutaka Hayakawa, Takeshi Yoshida, Yoshiyuki Takahashi, Fumio Saito, Kenichi Ochiai
