Abstract: A terminal lead 1 includes an inner end portion 1a to be arranged inwardly of an exterior casing 9 which accommodates an electrochemistry element 6, an outer end portion 1b to be arranged outwardly of the exterior casing 9, and a plate-shaped metallic substrate 2 as a base material. An insulating resin film 4 is arranged at a portion of the terminal lead 1 corresponding to a seal portion 9x of the exterior casing 9. In this terminal lead 1, a surface coating layer 3 is formed on both surfaces 2p and 2p of the metallic substrate 2 in a thickness direction thereof. A coated amount of both widthwise end portions 3a and 3a of the surface coating layer 3 formed on both surfaces 2p and 2p of the metallic substrate 2 in the thickness direction is less than that a widthwise intermediate portion 3b thereof.

Abstract: A forging die for forging a cylindrical rotor having a plurality of vane-accommodating grooves which extend toward the axis of the rotor, includes an upper die; a lower die having a mold cavity in its center portion, and a plurality of vane-accommodating-groove-forming portions which protrude inward from an inner wall which defines the mold cavity; and a spacer having a plurality of shell segments for determining a shape of a side wall of the cylindrical rotor which is segmented by the vane-accommodating grooves, and a flange for joining the shell segments is disclosed. The spacer is provided in the interior of the mold cavity of the lower die. A forging production system for producing the rotor; a method for producing the rotor; and the rotor are also disclosed.
