Abstract: A nonaqueous electrolyte batter includes: an electrode body having at least a positive electrode and a negative electrode; a cylindrical container with its bottom closed, in which the electrode body and a nonaqueous electrolytic solution are contained; and a lid body for closing an opening portion of the container. The lid body has a lid portion which constitutes a peripheral edge portion of the lid body, a projecting portion which constitutes a central portion of the lid body, and a stepped portion which has a vent hole and is positioned between the lid portion and the projecting portion. A metal plate having a through-hole is disposed between the lid body and the electrolyte body. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent the movement of the battery by a motive force generated when a decomposition gas generated in an abnormal state is discharged to the outside of the battery.

Abstract: A photocurable adhesive composition for glass is disclosed, comprising (A) 100 parts by weight of a polyorganosiloxane having an average compositional formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent hydrocarbon group except for a vinyl group; 0<a.ltoreq.1; 0<b.ltoreq.2; and 1<a+b<3, (B) from 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of an aromatic ketone photo reaction initiator, and (c) from 0.1 to 5 parts by weight of a trialkenyl isocyanurate or a derivative thereof. The composition, when applied between glass plates or between a glass plate and other materials, can be cured with a small curing shrinkage by short-term irradiation of light transmitted by the glass plate. The cured composition exhibits satisfactory adhesion and excellent resistance to moisture and heat.

Abstract: An addition curable polyorganosiloxane composition is stabilized against premature cure at room temperature by the presence of one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of (i) a silane compound represented by the following general formula:(R.sup.4).sub.n Si(OR.sup.5).sub.4-nin which R.sup.4 represents a member selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom and a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent hydrocarbon group; R.sup.5 represents a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent hydrocarbon group containing a --C.tbd.C-- bond; "n" represents an integer of from 1 to 3; and at least one member selected from the group consisting of Si--H, Si--CH.dbd.CH.sub.2 and Si--C.tbd.CH bonds is contained in the molecule and (ii) an organosilane compound obtainable by subjecting the above silane compound to addition reaction between Si-H and --C.tbd.C-- bonds contained therein.The composition is highly stable at room temperature and can be stored for extended periods of time.
