SAFETY DEVICE FOR A SEALED ACCUMULATOR
First Claim
1. A sealed accumulator container intended to contain an electrochemical bundle, the container comprising a wall forming a bottom in an electrically conducting material, comprising:
- a peripheral portion,a cap,an embrittled portion, delimiting the cap, joining the peripheral portion to the cap, adapted so as to break upon overpressure inside the container,in which container is positioned an electrically conducting deformable membrane electrically connecting electrodes of a same polarity of an electrochemical bundle to the cap,and in which container, an overpressure causes deformation of the membrane, this deformation causing failure of the embrittled portion.

Abstract
A sealed accumulator container (2) intended to contain an electrochemical bundle (9), the container comprising a wall forming a bottom (3) in an electrically conducting material comprising:
- a peripheral portion (3a),
- a cap (3c),
- an embrittled portion (3b) delimiting the cap, joining the peripheral portion to the cap, adapted so as to break upon overpressure inside the container,
in which container is positioned an electrically conducting deformable membrane (10) electrically connecting electrodes of same polarity of an electrochemical bundle to the cap,
and in which container, overpressure causes deformation of the membrane, this deformation causing failure of the embrittled portion.

16. A method for making an electric connection comprising the following steps:
-
a) making an electrochemical bundle available comprising at least one positive electrode and at least one negative electrode separated by a separator; b) electrically connecting an electrically conducting deformable membrane with the electrodes of same polarity of the electrochemical bundle; c) making available a container comprising a wall forming a bottom in an electrically conducting material comprising; a peripheral portion, a cap, an embrittled portion delimiting the cap, joining the peripheral portion to the cap, adapted so as to break upon overpressure inside the container; d) introducing into the container the electrochemical bundle and the deformable membrane so that the membrane is in contact with the cap. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
