Abstract: An energy storage device includes an electrode body and an outer packaging. The outer packaging seals the electrode body. The outer packaging is constituted by a film-like outer packaging member. The outer packaging includes a first sealing portion sealed by joining surfaces that face each other in a state in which the outer packaging member is wrapped around the electrode body. A base portion of the first sealing portion is formed at the boundary between a first surface and a second surface of the outer packaging. The first surface has a larger area than the second surface. The first sealing portion does not overlap the first surface in a plan view.

Abstract: A weft tensioning device in a shuttleless loom includes a weft yarn feeder and a tension compensator interposed between the weft yarn feeder and a filling carrier. The tension compensator has a pair of weft guides and means disposed between the weft guides for intermittently shifting the weft yarn sideways off a path between the weft guides in response to reciprocation of the filling carrier. The weft yarn feeder has weft yarn winding means, the diameter of which is variable to meet different yarn demands for various widths of narrow fabric to be produced or to compensate for varying yarn stretchability due to different degrees of ambient temperature and humidity.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method for weaving webs, such as tapes of slide fasteners and a loom used for achieving the method. The method comprises a process of urging a woven web so as to shift the path of the web to a place close to a latch needle of a loom so that loops of a filling formed between the latch needle and the adjacent edge of the web are small. The loom includes a ramp on a table on which a woven web is fed. The direction of the inclination of the ramp is perpendicular to the feeding direction of the web and it descends as it goes toward the latch needle.
