  • Patent number: 11502369
    Abstract: A rupture valve is formed on a wall of a container and has a break line along which a wall thickness of the rupture valve is decreased. The break line has an outer edge line which defines an outer edge of an opening region and a plurality of division lines which divide the opening region. The outer edge line has: a first base line and a second base line formed discontinuously such that the first base line and the second base line extend in a first direction, and are formed in a spaced-apart manner in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction; a first support portion forming line formed on a breaking portion of the first base line and extending from the first base line toward the second base line; and a second support portion forming line formed on a breaking portion of the second base line.

  • Patent number: 11387482
    Abstract: An energy storage device includes: a case having a bottom wall and a ceiling wall, a front wall and a rear wall having areas smaller than an area of the ceiling wall respectively, and a pair of side walls having areas larger than the area of the ceiling wall respectively; a stacked electrode assembly accommodated in the inside of the case, and having a plurality of positive electrode plates and a plurality of negative electrode plates having a plate shape and stacked to each other with a separator interposed between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate, and a positive electrode tab and a negative electrode tab extending from the positive electrode plates and the negative electrode plates toward the front wall; and an external terminal mounted on the front wall and electrically connected with the positive electrode tab or the negative electrode tab.

  • Patent number: 11088425
    Abstract: An energy storage device includes: an electrode assembly; a case configured to store the electrode assembly; a conductive member electrically connected to the electrode assembly; a first insulating member disposed between a wall of the case and the conductive member; and a projection protrudingly provided on the wall on an opposite side to the first insulating member, wherein the first insulating member has a first engaging portion configured to engage with a limiting portion, the limiting portion being a portion of a recess formed on the wall on an opposite side to the projection.
