Abstract: Goods which come in different sizes, shapes, numbers, etc. are packed in assemblies which comprise a tray (12) and a plurality of open-top box-like modules (18) which sit snugly side-by-side in the tray (12). Each module (18) is prepacked and contains only one size, shape, etc. goods. At its destination the loaded assembly (10), usually along with other loaded assemblies (10), becomes the display package (B) for the different size, shape, etc. goods. The method of the invention utilizes a lap-top computer working with a mainframe by which the order is placed and immediately gives pricing information. In the case of a custom or tailored order of different numbers various sizes of goods, the computer is able to indicate whether the order will make up a complete shipment of packing assemblies (10), with the correct number of pre-filled modules to fill the trays with none left over.

Abstract: A merchandising system (10) comprises an elongate hanger (16) having a rear end adapted to be secured to a vertical surface such as a pegboard (12) and a front end formed with a head having a periphery of a certain shape to identify a product to be hung on the hanger. The system further includes the identified product (18) having a similarly shaped hanging opening (26) at its upper end. The opening can be aligned with and made to receive and pass over the head so that the product can hang on its identifying hanger. The system is specifically designed for battery packages. Packages having batteries of a different size will not fit over the head because their openings are not similarly shaped.

Abstract: A current interrupt mechanism for electrochemical cells is disclosed. A thermally activated current interrupt mechanism (38) is integrated into an end cap assembly (10) for an electrochemical cell. The thermally responsive mechanism preferably includes a free floating bimetallic disk (40) or a meltable mass of material (175) to break an electrical pathway within the end cap assembly. The end cap assembly also includes integrated therein a pressure responsive current interrupt mechanism (48). The pressure responsive mechanism activates to sever electrical contact between a diaphragm (70) and a plate (80) within the end cap assembly (10) to prevent current from passing through the cell, and may include a diaphragm (70) which ruptures when there is extreme gas pressure buildup.

Abstract: A metal support disk (10) useful in sealing an electrochemical cell exerts a resilient outward radial force against the seal to assure seal integrity over a wide temperature range and exerts an upward force against an adjacent metal end cap terminal (100) to assure continued mechanical and electrical contact with the terminal. The support is a stepped disk having a centrally located, shallow, cylindrical pill-box (12) with the bottom (22) of the pill-box (12) extending radially outward into an annular ring (24). A spring means in the form of an S-shaped rim (26) extends down from the periphery of the ring (24) terminating at its bottom in an outward extending flange (28). The edge of the flange (28) presses a plastic seal member against the inside wall.
