Abstract
In an alkaline battery hermetically sealed by fusion of an insulator containing silicon oxide such as glass interposed between an annular metal cover electrically connected to one electrode of the battery and a metal member connected to the other electrode of the battery, an annular packing is disposed inside the annular metal cover in abutment therewith, and a metal collector plate is connected to the metal member and disposed below the insulator. The peripheral edge of the metal collector plate is tightly held against the inner periphery of the packing to define a closed space between the insulator and the collector plate.
Claims6
A sealed alkaline battery comprising:
- a metal case connected to one electrode of the battery;
- an annular metal cover connected to an open edge of said metal case;
- a metal member connected to the other electrode of the battery;
- an insulator containing silicon oxide therein and joined by fusion thereof to said annular metal cover and said metal member at the interspace therebetween;
- an annular packing disposed inside said annular metal cover in abutment therewith;
- and
- a dish-shaped metal collector plate connected to said metal member and disposed below said insulator in such a manner that the peripheral edge of said metal collector plate is pressed into the inner periphery of said packing to define a closed space between said insulator and said metal collector plate.
