  • Publication number: 20220052495
    Abstract: A handle switch device capable of preventing damage to a connection terminal. A handle switch device 10 mounted on a handlebar 11 of a vehicle 22 comprises a case-shaped switch housing 12 and a USB port 18 that supplies electric power to an external device. The USB port 18 is covered with an inner case 19 inside of the switch housing 12. The inner case 19 has a tubular opening 19a. The USB port 18 communicates with outside of the switch housing 12 through the opening 19a, and the USB port 18 is disposed on an inner side of the switch housing 12 rather than the opening 19a.

  • Patent number: 11139519
    Abstract: A sealed cell includes a bottomed cylindrical outer casing can. The outer casing can is formed by nickel-plated iron, and a lead connected to one of a positive electrode and a negative electrode, and the outer casing can, are welded by a welding part formed from the outside surface of the outer casing can toward the lead. The welding part is formed by molten traces and has a first layer and a second layer having a higher nickel concentration than the first layer. The first layer is formed from the lead through to the inside of the outer casing can, the second layer is formed so as to adjoin the first layer on the outside surface side of the outer casing can, and the whole of the first layer is covered with the second layer when the welding part is viewed from the outside of the outer casing can.
