Patent number: 6881371Abstract: An intermediate product is formed by combining together plurality of constituent elements. The intermediate product is arranged in a mold an then molten resin is charged in the mold. An opening is formed so as to correspond to a plus terminal, a minus terminal, and a temperature detecting terminal in the intermediate product, and its periphery is covered with the resin. Whereupon, a thin enclosed outer packaging body is realized that is made compact and offers excellent dust-proof, drip-proof structure. Alternatively, the intermediate product is housed in an outer packaging case having an open end that allows insertion of the intermediate product, and resin is charged in the open end, thereby achieving sealing.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2001Date of Patent: April 19, 2005Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshinori Iwaizono, Shoji Konishi, Takeshi Ishimaru

Publication number: 20030173709Abstract: An intermediate product (50) is formed by combining together a plurality of constituent elements. The intermediate product (50) is arranged in a mold and then molten resin is charged in the mold. An opening (34, 35, 36) is formed so as to correspond to a plus terminal (4), a minus terminal (5), and a temperature detecting terminal (6) in the intermediate product (50), and its periphery is covered with the resin. Whereupon, a thin enclosed outer packaging body is realized that is made compact and offers excellent dust-proof, drip-proof structure. Alternatively, the intermediate product (50) is housed in an outer packaging case (51 to 54) having an open end that allows insertion of the intermediate product (50), and resin is charged in the open end, thereby achieving sealing.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2003Publication date: September 18, 2003Inventors: Yoshinori Iwaizono, Shoji Konishi, Takeshi Ishimaru

Patent number: 6451474Abstract: A battery pack that reduces thickness and lightens weight as required for battery power sources of portable electronic equipment. A battery pack is constituted by accommodating a battery and battery protection device between a top case and bottom case forming a pack case. Since the battery is formed accommodated within an external casing wherein positive and negative electrode plates are formed by laminated sheet, reduced thickness and reduced weight of battery pack can be achieved. Also, since the face of bottom case opposite the battery is formed as a resiliently deformable face which is formed of small thickness, when expansion takes place such that the thickness of the battery as a whole increases, resiliently deformable face deforms maintaining a planar condition by resilient deformation, so that there is no possibility of an adverse effect on the equipment due to drum-shaped swelling being produced in battery pack, by such swelling.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2000Date of Patent: September 17, 2002Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Katsumi Kozu, Shigeru Kajiwara, Shoji Konishi, Takashi Takemura, Junji Fujiwara, Ryoichi Kaiwa, Tetsuo Hirabayashi

Patent number: 4749501Abstract: A solid soap composition comprises a soap base and microcapsules dispersed therein, said microcapsules are prepared by using a hydrophobic liquid as a core material, forming microcapsules by covering the hydrophobic liquid with coacervate of a hydrophilic material, and then adding an electrolyte to a solution having the microcapsules dispersed therein in an amount of 8 to 100 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight of the water used in the microcapsules to dehydrate the microcapsule films. The microcapsules hardly disintegrate during the soap production process but do disintegrate during the use of the soap composition when contacted with water.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 1986Date of Patent: June 7, 1988Assignee: Lion CorporationInventors: Yukio Nakagawa, Takayuki Kamura, Hiroto Arai, Masahiro Takizawa, Shoji Konishi
