POUCH TYPE CASE AND BATTERY PACK INCLUDING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A pouch type case comprising a space accommodating an electrode assembly comprising a positive plate, a negative plate and a separator interposed between the positive plate and the negative plate and a sealing part sealing up an upper case and a lower case,wherein a portion of the space and sealing part, which corresponds to at least one of the left and right sides of an electrode lead projected to the outside of the case, includes a trimming portion intended toward the electrode assembly.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a pouch type case having trimming portions formed on both sides or four corners thereof and a battery pack including the same. The trimming portions are formed on the corners of the pouch type case such that the trimming portions are indented toward an electrode assembly accommodating part to reduce a unit area so as to increase pressure applied to unit cells when a battery pack is assembled, thereby facilitating assembling of the battery pack and increasing cell capacity per unit area. Furthermore, the unit cells can be fixed in the battery pack more stably. The pouch type case reduces the unit area so as to include a relatively large number of cells for pressure applied to the cells when the battery pack is assembled to thereby increase the cell capacity.
