Patent number: 11876251Abstract: In an embodiment, an energy storage apparatus includes plural energy storage devices arranged in a first direction, and a frame arranged along the energy storage devices. Each of the energy storage devices has an outer surface facing in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The frame has a first portion extending in the first direction along the outer surface, and a second portion extending in the second direction toward a facing surface on which the energy storage apparatus is installed, from at least a part of the first portion.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2019Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: GS YUASA INTERNATIONAL LTD.Inventors: Yosuke Nishimura, Nobuyuki Naganawa, Kenta Yoshioka, Yoshimasa Toshioka

Patent number: 10873064Abstract: An energy storage apparatus includes: a main part; a conductive opposedly facing member disposed to opposedly face the main part; and an insulating member disposed between the main part and the opposedly facing member. The opposedly facing member includes an opposedly facing portion a part of which overlaps with the main part. The opposedly facing portion includes an end surface which overlaps with the main part, the end surface facing upwardly. The insulating member includes: a covering portion covering a surface of the opposedly facing portion directed toward a main part; and a seal portion extending from the covering portion toward the main part. The covering portion includes an end portion disposed at a position which agrees with the end surface or at a position outside the end surface in a direction orthogonal to the end surface. The seal portion extends from the end portion toward the main part.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2018Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Assignees: BLUE ENERGY CO., LTD., HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Yosuke Nishimura, Kenta Yoshioka
