A battery having a protecting element which has a simple structure and is easy to be miniaturized to permit installation within the battery cell without altering the structure and the production plan of the battery cell to a considerable extent and which has a function of melting down reliably upon detection of an abnormal state of the temperature or current of the battery. The protecting element 1 is formed from a base board 5 which is composed of an insulator layer 2 interposed between a first and a second conductor layer 3 and 4 and is provided with a through-hole 6 so as to bring about electrical conduction between the first and second conductor layers, wherein one of the conductor layers (3) is subdivided into a plurality of independent conductor layer patches (3a and 3b) separated by a vacant space 7 and the so-separated patches (3a and 3b) are bridged with a low-melting metal layer 8 to provide electrical conduction therebetween to build up a fuse unit 11 sealed by a protection member 10 and a safety valve 15 is formed in the through-hole 6 by covering the through-hole 6 with a lamellar closure member 13, wherein the protecting element 1 is installed in the battery cell integrally with the cathode terminal 16 via a PTC element.

To obtain a protective device that can prevent overvoltage and at the same time has an excellent safety and also to make chip type protective devices smaller in size, this invention provides a protective device comprising a substrate, a heating element provided on the substrate, an insulating layer that covers the surface of the heating element, and a low-melting metal piece provided on the insulating layer. Particularly preferably the substrate and the heating element are each formed of an inorganic material. This protective device may be used in combination with a voltage detecting means making use of a zener diode, in such a way that the heating element of the protective device is electrically excited to generate heat when the voltage detecting means detects a voltage exceeding the rated voltage, whereby an overvoltage protector can be set up.

A secondary battery with high safety is provided. A heater and a diode are connected in series, and a thermistor is connected in parallel with thus formed series circuit. A fuse is connected in series with thus formed parallel circuit to form a protective circuit, which is attached to an accumulator to complete a secondary battery. In the case of overcharging, the accumulator generates heat so that the thermistor heats up to increase the resistance value. As a result, the current pass through the heater, which generates heat to break the fuse. In the case of short circuit, the diode is reverse-biased and no current passes through the heater so that the fuse does not break.
摘要:
A protective circuit for a secondary battery is formed with a heater and a thermistor that are connected in parallel, and a main fuse is connected in series with the parallel circuit. In a secondary battery equipped with this protective circuit, a charging/discharging current passes through the protective circuit and is limited by the operation of the thermistor when the voltage applied during abnormal conditions is relatively low. On the other hand, the current will cause the main fuse to blow when the voltage during abnormal conditions is high.

摘要:
An electrostatic latent image is formed by the Carlson process, etc. on a base (photosensitive body) to develop the electrostatic latent image by a solidification developer in which coloring agent particles are dispersed into a dispersion medium in a solid state at an ordinary temperature and adapted to reversibly repeat fusion by heating at about 30.degree. C. at a temperature above a melting point and solidification by cooling, thus to form a developer picture. Thereafter, the base and a transferred body are caused to be subjected to pressure-contact and heating process to fuse the dispersion medium at a pressure-contact and heating temperature more than the melting point of the dispersion medium to subsequently cool the dispersion medium down to a temperature less than the melting point to peel the transferred body to transfer the developer picture onto the transferred body. Alternatively, the dispersion medium is softened at a pressure-contact and heating temperature set so that this temperature falls within a range where it is not above the melting point to subsequently peel the transferred body to transfer the developer picture onto the transferred body. On the surface of a recording paper, a resin layer compatible with a dispersion medium of a developer may be formed.
