  • Patent number: 10211445
    Abstract: A lead-acid battery includes an electrode plate assembly, a battery case, a positive electrode strap, a negative electrode strap, a positive electrode post, a negative electrode post, a cover, and an electrolyte solution. A negative electrode bushing provided in the cover and the negative electrode post together constitute a negative electrode terminal. A maximum value of a gap between an outer circumferential surface of the negative electrode post and an inner circumferential surface of the negative electrode bushing in the negative electrode terminal is 0.5 mm or more and 2.5 mm or less. A rib is provided in a lower part of the negative electrode bushing, and a minimum value of a protrusion height of the rib is 1.5 mm or more and 4.0 mm or less. A distance between a surface of the electrolyte solution and a lowermost portion of the negative electrode bushing is 15 mm or less.

  • Patent number: 5199777
    Abstract: A drawer apparatus includes a hollow housing, a tray slidably retained in the hollow housing, the tray being entered or drawn out from the housing through the open front surface thereof, and an urging device for urging the tray in a direction in which it protrudes from the open front surface of the housing. The urging device includes a constant-pressure spring, and a hook fixed to the other end portion of the constant-pressure spring, the hook being hooked to an open front edge portion of a bottom wall of the housing. A front frame is mounted on the housing. The front frame has a retaining portion which faces the open front edge portion of the bottom wall of the housing with the hook provided on the other end portion of the constant-pressure spring therebetween. A stopper member is provided on at least either an upper edge of a rear portion of the tray or an under surface of an upper wall of the housing which opposes the upper edge of the rear portion of the tray.
