Publication number: 20240170816Abstract: A method for producing a power storage device includes a process of insert-molding. This process is to relatively move a first mold and a second mold to press a terminal top surface of a terminal member by a top-face close-contact portion of the first mold to a second-mold side and to press a to-be-contacted portion of the terminal member by a contact portion of the second mold to a first-mold side so that a deformed portion of the terminal member is elastically deformed. A resin member is thus insert-molded while the terminal top surface is pressed and tightly contacted with the top-face contact portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2023Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Tsuyoshi EHARA, Yozo UCHIDA, Yuki SATO, Syoichi TSUCHIYA, Masataka ASAI, Tsuyoshi ASANO, Masahiro UCHIMURA, Yasuaki NAGANO, Shigeru MATSUMOTO
