Sealing gasket for alkaline dry cell
[Problems] A sealing gasket for an alkaline dry cell formed from a 6-12 nylon resin by injection molding, which is inhibited from cracking that occurs at inserting a current collector through a central boss portion of a gasket and thereby reliably reduces occurrence of liquid leakage while retaining the advantages due to the use of the 6-12 nylon resin. [Means for Solving the Problems] A polyhexamethylene dodecamide resin is used as a resin material of injection molding, and one part or the whole of the same kind of recycled material which was once used in injection molding is used as the resin material of a section including at least the boss portion.
1. A sealing gasket of an alkaline dry cell formed by injection molding a polyamide resin, comprising:
a central boss portion including a through-hole through which a current collector is press-fittedly inserted;
a peripheral packing portion interposed between a peripheral portion of an anode terminal plate and an opening of a cathode can; and
a middle barrier wall portion,
wherein a mixed material of a recycled material of polyhexamethylene dodecanamide resin which has been once used in injection molding and a virgin material of a polyhexamethylene dodecanamide resin is used as a resin material of a section including at least the boss portion, and a percentage of the recycled material is equal to or more than 10% by weight.
2. A sealing gasket of the alkaline dry cell according to claim 1 ,
wherein the recycled material is pulverized particles, of a runner, generated in the injection molding process.
3. A sealing gasket of an alkaline dry cell formed by injection molding of a polyamide resin, comprising:
a central boss portion including a through-hole through which a current collector is press-fittedly inserted;
a peripheral packing portion interposed between a peripheral portion of an anode terminal plate and an opening of a cathode can; and
a middle barrier wall portion,
wherein a mixed material of recycled and virgin polyhexamethylene dodecanamide resin is used as a resin material of injection molding of at least the boss portion, wherein the recycled material has been once used in injection molding and is present in a percentage equal to or more than 10% by weight of the resin, and moisture in at least the boss portion is set to 1% to 2%.
4. A sealing gasket of an alkaline dry cell formed by injection molding of a polyamide resin, comprising:
a central boss portion including a through-hole through which a current collector is press-fittedly inserted;
a peripheral packing portion interposed between a peripheral portion of an anode terminal plate and an opening of a cathode can; and
a middle barrier wall portion,
wherein a mixed material of recycled and virgin polyhexamethylene dodecanamide resin is used as a resin material of injection molding of at least the boss portion, wherein the recycled material has been once used in injection molding and is present in a percentage equal to or more than 10% by weight of the resin, and an internal diameter of the through-hole of the central boss portion is equal to or more than 0.91 times and less than 1 times a diameter of the current collector.
