Abstract: This invention provides a battery can allowing for a reduced amount of gas forming therein, thus realizing lower production cost. The cathode can 11 of an alkaline battery is cylindrically shaped and closed-bottomed, comprising an opening 15, a body 17 and a bottom 18, with the body 17 being divided into an opening sealing section 31 and an electrode mixture container section 33 which are arranged in order from the opening 15, with the plate thickness t0 set for the electrode mixture container section 33, which is not less than 80% of the plate thickness t1 of the opening sealing section 31, with the plate thickness t3 of the electrode mixture container section 33 gradually reducing in the region starting at the topmost point of the electrode mixture container section 33 and ending at the set plate thickness t0.

Abstract: [Problems] A sealing gasket for an alkaline dry cell formed from a 6-12 nylon resin by injection molding, which is inhibited from cracking that occurs at inserting a current collector through a central boss portion of a gasket and thereby reliably reduces occurrence of liquid leakage while retaining the advantages due to the use of the 6-12 nylon resin. [Means for Solving the Problems] A polyhexamethylene dodecamide resin is used as a resin material of injection molding, and one part or the whole of the same kind of recycled material which was once used in injection molding is used as the resin material of a section including at least the boss portion.

Abstract: A structure of shaft member has been developed in which the shaft member is made to be hollow to reduce its weight, installation into a ball bearing or a paper feed roller can be easily carried out and then an appropriate coupling of force can be attained between it and the objective member, wherein the shaft member 1 of the present invention relates to the hollow shaft member of metallic material in which it is fitted to the objective member having holes of bearing 2 and the like therein, its circular sectional plane is divided into three or more outer arcs mi (1,2,3 . . . ) and three or more inverse directed inner arcs ni (1, 2, 3 . . . ) are formed among the outer arcs, the hollow member is inserted into the objective member with the outer arcs and the inner arcs being compressed inwardly and deformed, and the objective member and the shaft member are coupled to each other by a resilient restitution force generated under said compression and deformation in order to satisfy a certain condition.

Abstract: A hollow shaft tube and shaft member with functional members like a paper feed roller for business machines etc., and its manufacturing method.The shaft tube has a bulge and dent, thereon a functional member to be fixedly secured. The bulges and dents having spring effect are formed symmetrically concerning the shaft tube center axis. The shaft and the functional members are fixedly secured by the spring effect.The shaft tube is made with half molds, having punchs in holes of both halves. The punchs hit the tube set in the molds to form the bulge and dent. The shaft tube is pressed in the functional member, using a press-in tool, to construct the shaft member.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an integrated light-weight solid metal shaft for use in a business machine by the steps of subjecting to acid treatment an inner periphery of a seam welded outer metal pipe having high hardness, subject to alkali cleaning an external periphery of an inner cylindrical member such as a solid cylindrical bar or pipe, having both low hardness and weight, inserting the inner cylindrical member into the outer metal pipe, cold drawing forcedly the thus assembled outer metal pipe and inner cylindrical members through a reducing die in order to wrinkle the inner periphery of the outer metal pipe and then integrate tightly the solid cylindrical bar onto the wrinkled inner periphery of the outer metal pipe through plastic deformation of the outer metal pipe and the solid cylindrical bar, internal pressure between the outer metal pipe and the inner cylindrical member and internal heat in the outer metal pipe and the inner cylindrical member caused by plastic deformation.
