Patent number: 8564427Abstract: An apparatus to be attached to a rotary portion includes a substrate and a flat-shaped battery buried in resin. The substrate and the flat-shaped battery are connected to each other via a terminal in such a manner that one of a positive electrode can and a negative electrode can constituting the flat-shaped battery, the can having a smaller amount of deformation caused by bulging at a time of the expansion of the flat-shaped battery, is opposed to the substrate. A surface of the flat-shaped battery having a smaller amount of deformation is opposed to the substrate, and hence, adverse effects on the apparatus, such as the displacement of the terminal and the deformation of the substrate, can be reduced even when the flat-shaped battery expands.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2010Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignee: Hitachi Maxell, Ltd.Inventors: Noriyuki Yabushita, Toshikazu Yoshiba

Patent number: 8043740Abstract: The flat-shaped battery includes an electrode material containing an active material, and a battery case which has the electrode material housed inside and in which a plurality of protruding members extending inwardly from an inner surface of the battery case are fixed to the inner surface. The electrode material is housed in the battery case with those individual protruding members inserted in the electrode material. As a result, even if the flat-shaped battery is subjected to such external influences as accelerations and vibrations, the electrode material can securely be prevented from moving within the battery case.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2008Date of Patent: October 25, 2011Assignee: Hitachi Maxell Energy, Ltd.Inventors: Noriyuki Yabushita, Koji Yamaguchi, Toshikazu Yoshiba
