Abstract: A power storage device includes a case lid with a terminal inserting hole, a current collecting terminal having a hole insertion portion inserted in the terminal inserting hole in a case front-back direction and an external connection portion continuous with the hole insertion portion and placed in parallel to the case lid on the case front-surface side, and an insulating resin member integrally molded with the current collecting terminal and the case lid to connect the hole insertion portion and the external connection portion to a hole outer edge portion and a hole surrounding portion. The insulating resin member includes a back-surface side insulating resin portion connecting a back surface of the external connection portion and the hole insertion portion to the hole outer edge portion and the hole surrounding portion. The back-surface side insulating resin portion is formed with a recessed portion opening on a case back-surface side.

Abstract: A power storage device includes a case lid with a terminal inserting hole, a current collecting terminal having a hole insertion portion inserted in the terminal inserting hole and an external connection portion placed on a front surface side of the case lid, and an insulating resin member integrally molded with the current collecting terminal and the case lid. The insulating resin member includes an outer-periphery-side insulating resin portion and a back-surface side insulating resin portion connecting the current collecting terminal and the case lid. The back-surface side insulating resin portion is formed with a hollow portion penetrating through a back surface of the back-surface side insulating resin portion to a back surface of the outer connecting portion. The back surface of the outer connecting portion is formed with an annular band-shaped sealing portion along the outer edge portion of the hollow portion.

Abstract: A power storage device includes a case lid member, a terminal member, and a resin member. The resin member includes a resin outer portion, a resin inner portion, and a resin inside-hole portion. The case lid member and the resin member are configured that, when the power storage device is placed under a temperature environment of ?40° C., the resin member forms an outward convex warp in a lid thickness direction with respect to a lid longitudinal direction so that a pair of longitudinal joint faces of the resin inner portion press the terminal member in the lid longitudinal direction.

Abstract: In a battery, a lid member of a battery case is provided with a terminal part and a resin member. The terminal part has a terminal plate-shaped portion located inside the battery case, which extends wider than a through hole along an inner surface of the lid member. The resin member has an inner resin plate-shaped portion located between the inner surface of the lid member and the terminal plate-shaped portion. The lid member, on the inner surface side around the through hole, includes a protruding portion defined by a protruding inner surface joined to the inner resin plate-shaped portion and protruding toward the inside of the battery case relative to a non-protruding inner surface farther from the through hole than the protruding inner surface. Side surfaces of the protruding portion and the terminal plate-shaped portion do not project outward beyond a side surface of the inner resin plate-shaped portion.

Abstract: A power storage device has a case member, a first terminal member, a second terminal member, a first resin member hermetically joined to the case member and the first terminal member, and a second resin member hermetically joined to the case member and the second terminal member. The first resin member is made of a first resin material having a resin material linear expansion coefficient ? within the range of 1.6×10?5 to 2.7×10?5 (1/K), and the second resin member is made of a second resin material that is different from the first resin material and has a resin material flexural modulus E of 17 GPa or less.

Abstract: A power storage device includes a current collecting terminal, a case member having a terminal insertion hole, and an insulating resin member connecting the current collecting terminal with a hole periphery and a hole surrounding portion of the terminal insertion hole. The current collecting terminal and the case member have seal portions that ensure airtightness in a case, at connecting portions connecting with the insulating resin member, and each of the seal portions is a roughened surface. The insulating resin member has a thermoplastic resin material including high molecular weight particles with a molecular weight of 10,000 or more and low molecular weight particles with a molecular weight of 500 to 5,000, and the low molecular weight particles are included 5 to 15% by weight in the thermoplastic resin material and are unevenly distributed closer to the roughened surface.

Abstract: A power storage device has a case member, a terminal member, and a resin member subjected to insert molding to fix the terminal member to the case member. The resin member is made of a resin material including a thermoplastic main resin having a first glass transition temperature equal to or higher than 70° C., a thermoplastic elastomer, and a filler. The elastomer has a second glass transition temperature that is equal to or higher than ?10° C. and equal to or lower than 20° C. and a third glass transition temperature equal to or lower than ?40° C.

Abstract: This cylindrical cutter for skiving comprises a plurality of cutting edge parts in the circumferential direction by having tooth grooves be formed between circumferentially adjoining cutting edge parts with the tooth grooves being formed into a helical shape twisting in the axial direction. Cutting edge grooves are each formed in the cutting edge parts so as to divide the cutting edge parts into multiple sections in the length direction of the tooth grooves.

Abstract: The invention provides a heat recovery method for use in sulfuric acid production plants by which the heat generated in the step of drying SO2 gas or the step of drying air, and the step of absorbing sulfur trioxide in the plant is effectively utilized for heating the water to be supplied to a boiler although the heat is conventionally discarded because of the difficulties encountered in using the heat effectively. The boiler water to be supplied is heated by utilizing the heat generated by drying and/or absorption in a drying tower of the plant for drying sulfur burning air or the sulfur dioxide and/or in an absorption tower of the plant for causing circulating concentrated sulfuric acid to absorb sulfur trioxide produced by the conversion of the sulfur dioxide.

Abstract: Gear cutting is to be effected in high efficiency and at low cost. To this end, using a hob 16 coated with at least one layer of a film of a composition comprising:(Ti.sub.(1-x) Al.sub.x)(N.sub.y C.sub.(1-y))0.2.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.0.850.25.ltoreq.y.ltoreq.1.0,dry cutting is performed at a cutting speed in the range of 80 to 400 m/min without using a cutting oil. Teeth can be generated at a greatly improved cutting speed without using any expensive tool such as a tool made of cemented carbide.
