Abstract
An insulating tab attached to an electronic device driven by a battery includes a first insulating layer, a first wiring that extends in a first direction along the first insulating layer, the first wiring including a first electrode on one end thereof and a second electrode on the other end thereof, and a second wiring that extends in the first direction along the first insulating layer, the second wiring including a third electrode on one end thereof and a fourth electrode on the other end thereof. The first and third electrodes are disposed on opposite sides of the first insulating layer at a first location of the first insulating layer along the first direction.
Claims21
An insulating tab attachable to an electronic device driven by a battery, comprising:
- first, second, and third insulating layers that extend along a first direction, the first insulating layer being between the second and third insulating layers, a surface area of each of the second and third insulating layers being smaller than a surface area of the first insulating layer;
- a first wiring that extends along the first direction on a first surface of the first insulating layer, the first wiring including a first electrode on one end thereof and a second electrode on the other end thereof, the first electrode being exposed at a first location of the first insulating layer at which the first insulating layer and each of the second and third insulating layers do not overlap each other;
- and
- a second wiring that extends along the first direction on a second surface of the first insulating layer that is opposite to the first surface, the second wiring including a third electrode on one end thereof and a fourth electrode on the other end thereof, the third electrode being exposed at the first location of the first insulating layer.
An insulating tab, comprising:
- a first portion including first and second electrodes facing away and insulated from each other by a first insulating layer and insertable into an electronic device;
- a second portion including third and fourth electrodes insulated from each other by the first insulating layer and located outside when the first portion is inserted into the electronic device;
- and
- a third portion between the first and second portions and including a first wiring that connects the first and third electrodes and a second wiring that connects the second and fourth electrodes, the first and second wirings being insulated from each other by the first insulating layer and respectively covered by second and third insulating layers between which the first insulating layer extends, wherein
- the first and third electrodes are exposed towards a first direction and the second and fourth electrodes are exposed towards a second direction that is opposite to the first direction.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a housing;
- one or more batteries stored in the housing;
- an electrical circuit;
- a plurality of device electrodes electrically connecting the batteries and the electrical circuit;
- and
- a detachable insulating tab including:
- first, second, and third insulating layers that extend along a first direction, the first insulating layer being between the second and third insulating layers, a surface area of each of the second and third insulating layers being smaller than a surface area of the first insulating layer,
- a first wiring that extends along the first direction on a first surface of the first insulating layer, the first wiring including a first electrode on one end thereof and a second electrode on the other end thereof, the first electrode being exposed at a first location of the first insulating layer at which the first insulating layer and each of the second and third insulating layers do not overlap each other, and
- a second wiring that extends along the first direction on a second surface of the first insulating layer that is opposite to the first surface, the second wiring including a third electrode on one end thereof and a fourth electrode on the other end thereof, the third electrode being exposed at the first location of the first insulating layer, wherein
- the first electrode contacts one of the device electrodes and the third electrode contacts a terminal of one of the batteries, or the first and third electrodes contact terminals of two of the batteries that are connected in series, and
- the second and fourth electrodes are outside the housing.
An insulating tab insertable between terminals of an electronic device for preventing power from being supplied by a battery of the electronic device, comprising:
- a first insulating layer that extends along a first direction;
- a first wiring on a first surface of the first insulating layer, the first wiring including a first electrode on one end thereof and a second electrode on the other end thereof;
- and
- a second wiring on a second surface of the first insulating layer that is opposite to the first surface, the second wiring including a third electrode on one end thereof and a fourth electrode on the other end thereof, wherein
- the first and third electrodes are disposed on opposite sides of the first insulating layer at a first location of the first insulating layer,
- the second and fourth electrodes are disposed on opposite sides of the first insulating layer at a second location of the first insulating layer, and
- the insulating tub further comprises:
- a second insulating layer that partially covers the first wiring such that the first and second electrodes are exposed towards a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and
- a third insulating layer that partially covers the second wiring such that the third and fourth electrodes are exposed towards a third direction that is opposite to the second direction.
