Patent number: 7635535Abstract: A battery pack having a battery in which a battery case and a cap of a sealing plate sealing an open end of the battery case serve as connection electrodes of opposite polarities, a terminal unit including external connection terminals respectively connected to these connection electrodes and an insulating cover integrally formed therewith, the terminal unit covering at least one end of the battery case, and a resilient member interposed between one end of the battery case and the terminal unit in a compressed state. In the manufacturing method of this battery pack, the dimension between the terminal unit and the other end of the battery case is controlled when fixing the terminal unit with the battery case. The battery pack thus has a simple and low cost configuration and yet exhibits high reliability in terms of the connection state of the external connection terminals when set in a portable electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2004Date of Patent: December 22, 2009Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Ryuichiro Ebi, Kenjin Masumoto, Toshiharu Kitagawa

Patent number: 7442467Abstract: A sealed battery in which an opening of a battery case is sealed with any one of a sealing member via an insulating gasket, and a sealing unit in which a sealing member is crimped inside a filter via an inner gasket. The sealed battery includes a sheet-like gasket placed upon the sealing member so that the battery case is tightly sealed with any one of a combination of the insulating gasket and the sheet-like gasket, and a combination of the insulating gasket, the sheet-like gasket, and the inner gasket, by crimping the opening of the battery case inwards. This secures sufficient space for the compressing while the crimp-sealing is achieved.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2004Date of Patent: October 28, 2008Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryuichiro Ebi, Kenjin Masumoto, Toshiharu Kitagawa

Patent number: 6738028Abstract: A multi-display system includes: first display means and second display means, wherein a cursor is displayed at a first position on the first display means; cursor position conversion means for converting the first position on the first display means at which the cursor is displayed to a second position on the second display means; and cursor display means for displaying a reference cursor at the second position on the second display means as converted by the cursor position conversion means. The first position is converted to the second position by the cursor position conversion means in such a manner that the reference cursor displayed at the second position on the second display means uniquely identifies the first position at which the cursor is displayed on the first display means.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2001Date of Patent: May 18, 2004Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroyuki Asahi, Naoko Sakamoto, Yoichi Kawabata, Hitomi Fujisaki, Toshiharu Kitagawa

Patent number: 5078519Abstract: Two-stage skew adjustment is achieved by first using only the drive force of the platen roller with the pinch roller and the capstan roller drive disrupted by a gap opening mechanism to effect a large skew adjustment. Then, the gap is closed and the platen roller, which has a Teflon-resin coating thereon and a larger diameter than the capstan roller or pinch roller, effects a small skew adjustment. Thereafter, printing is effected by feeding the paper in a reverse direction to register with an inked ribbon feed of a primary ribbon using the platen roller drive and the pinch roller drive with the skew cycle repeated for each ribbon color segment to achieve improved multicolor printing registration.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 1989Date of Patent: January 7, 1992Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial, Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masaaki Takita, Yoshikazu Tsuru, Toshiharu Kitagawa, Yoshikazu Nomura

Patent number: 5011315Abstract: The present invention relates to a printer, and more particularly to a heat transfer printer. The printer comprises: a pair of upper and lower chutes for guiding printed paper; an idle roller provided on the upper chute; a paper discharging motor bracket provided on the lower chute; a paper discharging lever rotatably provided on the paper discharging motor bracket; and a paper discharging pulley disposed at a tip of the paper discharging lever, wherein, at the time of discharging the paper, the paper discharging lever is rotated by a driving force of a motor provided on the bracket to cause the paper discharging pulley to project from the lower chute so as to come into contact with the idle roller, while, at the time of printing, the motor is stopped.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 1989Date of Patent: April 30, 1991Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshiharu Kitagawa, Ryuji Nishiyama, Masaaki Takita, Yoshikazu Tsuru
