摘要:
A safety mechanism for a laminate battery. An exterior case (5) consists of two molded sheets (5a) made of laminate sheets, superposed upon one another, and bonded together around the outer edges. The exterior case has a protrusion (10) that communicates with the interior of the exterior case and protrudes outwardly from one side. A safety vent (13) is made up of an exhaust hole (11) formed in at lease one of the two molded sheets (5a) in the protrusion (10), and a valve element (12) making elastic pressure contact with the edge of the exhaust hole (11) to seal it. The safety mechanism does not operate within the range of internal pressure variation during normal use, but operates reliably at a time point when a predetermined valve operating pressure is reached to release a necessary amount of gas to the outside, this valve operating pressure being within the safe range relative to the pressure resistance of the exterior case (5) made of laminate sheets. Also, the safety vent configuration enables a reduction in production cost.

In the description, a hydrogen storage alloy electrode comprising a hydrogen storage alloy and a conductive metal and completely free of organic binder is disclosed, wherein at least two layers of an active material holding layer and a conductive metal layer essentially are integrated into an electrode sheet having a conductive network communicating throughout the electrode. The electrode can be used in a nickel-metal hydride storage battery, for example, particularly exhibits high efficiency charge/discharge characteristics while satisfying general characteristics as a battery, and has a relatively low cost and facilitates recycling.

The apparatus for drying an electrode plate for a battery has: a support drum of a cylindrical shape having a peripheral face on which a long sheet-like electrode plate for a battery is to be wound, and in which a large number of blow holes for allowing the electrode plate for a battery to run in a levitated manner are formed; external air blowing means which is adjacent to the support drum and which has a blowing port through which air is blown to a surface of the electrode plate for a battery wound on the support drum; and moving means for causing the electrode plate for a battery to run in a longitudinal direction of the electrode plate for a battery. The heat loss is small and the productivity is excellent, and a high-performance battery electrode plate which is free from a crack and a scratch and which has a stable quality can be produced.
