SAFETY MECHANISM FOR SEALED PACKAGES CONTAINING A BATTERY
System and method for providing a safety mechanism for sealed packages are disclosed. The safety mechanism for sealed packages containing the battery includes a one-way degassing valve placed on the sealed package or container, wherein the one-way valve allows movement of gas from inside the sealed package to outside the sealed package and prevents air from outside the sealed package from entering.
1 . A system for providing a safety mechanism for sealed packages, the system comprising:
a one-way valve attached to a sealed package that contains a battery, wherein the one-way valve allows movement of gas from inside the sealed package to outside the sealed package.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one-way valve is attached to the sealed package using adhesive material.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one-way valve is attached to the sealed package using heat.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the system further comprises at least one opening that opens towards the outside of the package.
5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the one-way valve further comprises a flap that covers the opening that opens towards the outside of the package.
6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one-way valve comprises material that is non-reactive to the gases released by the battery placed in the sealed package.
7 . A method for providing a safety mechanism for a sealed package, the method comprising:
attaching a one-way valve to the sealed package that contains a battery;
wherein the one-way valve allows movement of gas from inside the sealed package to outside the sealed package.
8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the one-way valve is attached to the sealed package using adhesive material.
9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the one-way valve is attached to the sealed package using heat.
10 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the method further comprises providing at least one opening that opens towards the outside of the package.
11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the method further comprises providing a flap that covers the opening of the one-way valve that opens towards the outside of the package.
12 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the one-way valve comprises material that is non-reactive to the gases released by the battery placed in the sealed package.
