Abstract: Provided is an all-solid-state lithium battery including an oriented positive electrode plate composed of an oriented polycrystalline body made of lithium transition metal oxide grains, a solid electrolyte layer, a negative electrode layer, and an end insulator insulating and coating ends of the oriented positive electrode plate. The surface of the end insulator and the surface of the oriented positive electrode plate adjacent the solid electrolyte layer form one continuous surface no step exists. Alternatively, the height of the surface of the end insulator adjacent the solid electrolyte layer is lower than that of the surface of the oriented positive electrode plate adjacent the solid electrolyte layer to form a discontinuous surface with proviso that a step between the end insulator and the surface of the oriented positive electrode plate adjacent the solid electrolyte layer is smaller than the thickness of the solid electrolyte layer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a water collecting structure 1 capable of positively capturing flowing water which may form a shooting flow. The water collecting structure 1 of the invention includes: a guide member 23 including a water channeling surface 23a inclined at a greater angle than that of a water-flow slope of a water-flow surface; and a plurality of flow straightening plates 24 extended along a flow direction of the guide member 23 and juxtaposed in a direction orthogonal to the flow direction. The flow straightening plate 24 includes a planar or curved lateral side 24a which cooperates with the water channeling surface 23a to define a substantially rectangular small channel S and which stands vertically to the water channeling surface 23a or inclined relative to the water channeling surface to widen the small channel toward top.
