  • Patent number: 11063317
    Abstract: The battery pack includes: a plurality of battery cells each formed by closing an opening of a bottomed cylindrical outer can with a sealing plate; a battery holder to hold the plurality of battery cells in a mutually parallel attitude and hold electrode terminals provided at both ends of each battery cell in an attitude disposing on a same plane; and an outer case to house a battery assembly formed by holding the plurality of battery cells in the battery holder. The battery holder includes: a holding part to hold the ends of the plurality of battery cells along outer peripheral surfaces of the outer cans; and a cover on an end surface side of the plurality of battery cells held by the holding part. When the battery cell is abnormal, the cover is deteriorated by energy of a jetting body jetted from an end surface of the battery cell.

  • Patent number: 8841018
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide simpler and more reliable electrical wiring than a lead wire. A battery pack includes at least one rechargeable secondary battery (1), a battery holder (70) for housing the secondary battery (1) in a predetermined position, a pack circuit board (74) having a mounted electronic circuit for monitoring the secondary battery (1), and an electrical connection wire (85) for electrically wiring the pack circuit board (74). Here, the electrical connection wire (85) is a bent metal wire. Because wiring is realized using metal wire, and the metal connection is secured after the wiring has been completed, movement and deformation due to vibrations and other factors, such as that which occurs in the case of conventional lead wires, are avoided, and reliability can be improved.

  • Patent number: 7153563
    Abstract: A hard coat film comprising a substrate film and a hard coat layer disposed at least on one face of the substrate film, wherein the hard coat layer comprises 100 parts by weight of (A) a resin of an ionizing radiation curing type and 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of (B) a nonionic surfactant. The hard coat film is used for protection of surfaces such as the surface of touch panels and displays. Attachment of finger prints during input operations by fingers on the surfaces is suppressed and the attached finger prints can be easily wiped out. Scratch resistance and wear resistance of conventional hard coat films are retained.

  • Publication number: 20050172770
    Abstract: This invention is directed to the prevention of the deterioration of the accuracy in component mounting by suppressing the temperature rise of the moving member as much as possible by cooling the moving member, which is the heat source of a linear motor. The moving member 48 of the linear motor 14 is configured in the following manner for achieving the objective of this invention. That is, the heat dissipation portion, the axis 17 made of the material with efficient thermal conduction such as aluminum, pierces through the iron core 18 around which coils 20 are wound. The moving member except a part of the axis 17 is molded with synthetic resin, and at one end of the axis 17, the heat dissipation fin 19 which makes heat dissipation area larger is formed. And this heat dissipation fin 19 is placed to face the air exhaust port 67.
