Patent number: 7267904Abstract: A nonaqueous secondary electrolytic battery comprising an electricity-generating element formed by spirally winding a laminate of a positive electrode plate, a separating material and a negative electrode plate, and an electrolytic solution with which the separating material, if it is a separator, is impregnated. The electricity-generating element is sealed in a battery case formed by a resin-laminated sheet comprising a metal layer as a barrier layer. Only a pair of lead terminals are drawn to the exterior of the battery case. The resin sheet comprises an oriented resin layer laminated on both surfaces of the metal layer. The inner heat-fused layers are opposed and heat-fused to each other. A molten and solidified resin mass is formed protruding from the inner end of the welded portion toward the inner space of the battery by 0.1 mm or more. Alternatively, the welded portion is formed thinner at the outer end thereof than at the inner end thereof.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2003Date of Patent: September 11, 2007Assignee: GS Yuasa CorporationInventors: Shigeo Komatsu, Hiroshi Mukai, Tetsuya Murai, Shinya Kitano, Mikio Okada, Hiroshi Nakahara, Mikito Nagata, Hiroyuki Yumoto

Patent number: 6395420Abstract: A lead is connected to the electrode plate of the power generating element, and exposed externally from the deposited portion of a battery case. The portion of the lead crossing film edges is covered with two flat insulating covering resins which are thermally deposited to each other. At this portion, the covering resins and film edges are thermally deposited to each other. The covering resin is composed of two layers of an outer layer and an inner layer. At least the outer layer is colored and crosslink-coupled by irradiation of electron beams. The outer layer has a higher softening point than the inner layer.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2000Date of Patent: May 28, 2002Assignee: Japan Storage Battery Co., Ltd.Inventor: Shigeo Komatsu

Publication number: 20020010998Abstract: The process for the preparation of a battery according to the present invention comprises the following steps. An electricity-generating element having a positive electrode lead member and a negative electrode lead member drawn therefrom is inserted into a battery case. The opening of the battery case is sealed with both the positive electrode lead member and the negative electrode lead member leading to the exterior thereof. The position of the battery case and the electricity-generating element relative to each other is fixed. The positive electrode lead member and/or the negative electrode lead member are worked into an external terminal with a predetermined position on said battery case as reference. In accordance with this preparation process, the position of the external terminals can be corrected by working the lead members even if there is some variation in the position of the lead members.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2001Publication date: January 31, 2002Applicant: GS-MELCOTEC CO., LTDInventor: Shigeo Komatsu
