Abstract

A battery packet ( 50 ) comprises a battery case ( 51 ) formed by processing a battery case forming laminated sheet ( 10 ), a battery 50 a contained in the battery case ( 51 ), and tabs ( 59, 60 ) extending outside from the battery case ( 51 ). The battery case forming laminated sheet ( 10 ) is formed by laminating a first base film layer ( 1 a ), i.e., an outermost layer, a metal foil layer ( 2 ), and a heat-adhesive resin layer ( 3 ) in that order. The first base film layer ( 1 a ) is a biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate resin film or a biaxially oriented nylon resin film. The metal foil layer ( 2 ) is an aluminum or copper foil. The heat-adhesive resin layer ( 3 ) is formed of a polyolefin resin, more preferably, of an acid-denatured polyolefin resin.

Claims (11)

1. A battery case forming laminated sheet for forming a battery case for containing a battery therein, said battery case forming laminated sheet comprising:

a laminated film comprising an aluminum layer as an intermediate layer, and a first and second synthetic resin layer on both surfaces of the aluminum layer, the first synthetic resin layer being on an outer side of the aluminum layer, the second synthetic resin layer being on an inner side of the aluminum layer, wherein

the first synthetic resin layer is a plastic film comprising a biaxially oriented layer, and the second synthetic resin layer is a plastic film layer comprising a biaxially oriented layer on the inner side of the aluminum layer and a heat-adhesive resin layer as a layer on an innermost side of the aluminum layer, so that parts of the plastic film of the first synthetic resin layer and plastic film of the second resin layer are removed by irradiation of a laser beam to the laminated sheet, in a form of melted mist to form a pressure relieving part having incisions.

2. The battery case forming laminated sheet according to claim 1 , wherein said pressure relieving part has a burst strength in the range of 5 to 10 kg/cm 2 .

3. The battery case forming laminated sheet according to claim 1 , wherein said pressure relieving part has a plurality of intersecting straight incisions.

4. The battery case forming laminated sheet according to claim 1 , wherein both said first synthetic resin layer and said second synthetic resin layer are provided with pressure relieving parts at corresponding positions thereon, respectively.

5. The battery case forming laminated sheet according to claim 1 , wherein said pressure relieving part is located in a peripheral part of a case formed by heat-sealing a peripheral part of said heat-adhesive resin layer.

6. The battery case forming laminated sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the first synthetic resin layer or the second synthetic resin layer that can absorb the laser beam is made of a biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate film, a biaxially oriented nylon film, or a biaxially oriented polypropylene film.

7. A battery case forming laminated sheet for forming a battery case for containing a battery therein, said battery case forming laminated sheet comprising:

a laminated film comprising an aluminum layer as an intermediate layer, and a first and second synthetic resin layer on both surfaces of the aluminum layer, the first synthetic resin layer being on an outer side of the aluminum layer, the second synthetic resin layer being on an inner side of the aluminum layer, wherein

the first synthetic resin layer is a plastic film comprising a biaxially oriented layer, and the second synthetic resin layer is a plastic film layer comprising a heat-adhesive resin layer as a layer on an innermost side of the aluminum layer, so that part of the plastic film of the first synthetic resin layer is removed by irradiation of a laser beam to the laminated sheet, in a form of melted mist to form a pressure relieving part having incisions.
