Film-covered electric device having pressure release opening
First Claim
1. A film-covered electric device having an electric device element, and a casing film arranged for enclosing said electric device element to seal said electric device element, said casing film comprising:
- a sealing area formed by thermally fusing the facing surfaces of said casing film together throughout the perimeter of said casing film around the periphery of said electric device element;
an electric device element receiving part formed inside said sealing area as a space for encapsulating said electric device element;
at least one unfused portion communicating with said electric device element receiving part, and having a cove shape that opens to said electric device element receiving part;
a sealed stress concentrating portion touching said unfused portion and which concentrates the peeling stress of said casing film, the peeling stress being generated by the expansion of said electric device element receiving part according to the rise of inside pressure of said electric device element receiving part; and
a pressure release part formed within said sealed stress concentrating portion for opening the inside of said electric device element receiving part to the outside thereof by peeling said casing film at said sealed stress concentrating portion,wherein two unfused portions are provided in spaced relationship with each other along the periphery of said sealing area, and said sealed stress concentrating portion is located between said two unfused portions,wherein said sealed stress concentrating portion is formed as an island-shaped fused portion located between said two unfused portions.

Abstract
A film-covered electric device has an electric device element and casing films. The casing films include a sealing area formed by thermally fusing the facing surfaces of the casing films together around the periphery of the electric device element, an electric device element receiving part encapsulating the electric device element inside the sealing area, and unfused portions formed in the shape of cove communicating with the electric device element receiving part. The casing films further include a stress concentrating portion touching the unfused portions for concentrating thereon the peeling stress of the casing films generated at the sealing area by the expansion of the electric device element receiving part, and a pressure releasing part is formed in the stress concentrating portion.
