Patent number: 8828599Abstract: A battery pack is provided. The battery pack includes a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery that includes a substantially thin-plate-shaped battery element covered with a laminated sheet such that a positive electrode terminal and a negative electrode terminal are exposed, and has a first end face from which the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal are led out. An exterior casing covers five faces of the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, the five faces excluding a second end face next to the first end face. A support covers the second end face of the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery. At least one of the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal is extended along a first connection portion provided for the first end face and a second connection portion provided for the second end face and is connected to an external power supply provided for the support.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2009Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Sony CorporationInventor: Tadashi Miebori

Patent number: 8323827Abstract: In a laminated external packaging material for a battery according to the present invention, a metallic foil 2 is adhered to one surface side of a base film 1, and a coated film layer 4 of thermal adhesive resin having a softening point of 160° C. or below and capable of thermally bonding to a surface film of a battery main body is formed on the other surface side of the base film 1. With this laminated external packaging material for a battery, without using an adhesive tape or a hot-melt adhesive, this packaging material can be easily and assuredly bonded to the battery main body and also can be bonded firmly to an end portion reinforcing plastic component.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2006Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: Showa Denko Packaging Co.Inventors: Kazuhito Hatta, Masato Sato, Tsuyoshi Sugiyama, Hiroyuki Yamada, Tadashi Miebori, Koji Minamitani, Hiroshi Hata, Koji Miyano, Jun Tanigawa

Patent number: 8206844Abstract: A battery with improved safety that can more surely short-circuit electrodes when flattened out by the external force is provided. A center pin (30) is inserted in the center of a spirally wound electrode body formed by layering and spirally winding a cathode and an anode with a separator in between. The center pin (30) has a cut line (31) provided in the longitudinal direction and a first cutout (32) vertically crossing the cut line (31). When flattened out by the external force, a corner (33) at an intersection of the cut line (31) and the first cutout (32) is projected, and short-circuit is surely generated. Further, it is preferable that the center pin (30) has a second cutout (34) in the direction perpendicular to the cut line (31) in a position facing the cut line (31) in the circumferential direction.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2005Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Takeshi Meguro, Yoshihiro Dokko, Hiroyuki Suzuki, Tadashi Miebori, Shinji Hatake, Yuzuru Fukushima

Patent number: 7972717Abstract: A battery with improved safety which can establish a short circuit between electrodes more reliably when the battery is crushed by an external force is provided. A battery includes a battery element including a cathode and an anode, a battery can containing the battery element, and a conductive short circuit member arranged in a gap between the battery element and the battery can, the short circuit member capable of biting into the battery element when the battery can is deformed.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2007Date of Patent: July 5, 2011Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Takeshi Meguro, Yoshihiro Dokko, Hiroyuki Suzuki, Tadashi Miebori, Shinji Hatake, Yuzuru Fukushima, Noriaki Kokubu
