Abstract
Abstract A storage battery is made of thermoplastic synthetic resin by a molding process whereby the electrode reading-out members are placed in advance in a die for molding the electrolyte container body of the storage battery, so that the storage battery has such electrode leading-out members disposed across the lateral wall of the electrolyte container body. A spacing is defined between the surface of each electrode leading-out member facing the inside of the electrolyte container body and the portion of the electrolyte container body around the above-mentioned surface, whereby the region between the inward surface of the electrode leading-out member and the portion of the electrolyte container body therearound are heat-insulated from each other.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
266 words
A storage battery comprising: an electrolyte container body having an opening in the upper surface produced by the molding of a thermoplastic synthetic resin, a lid fixed to the top of said electrolyte container body to close said upper surface opening and cooperating with said electrolyte container body to constitute an electrolyte container, a group of electrode plates housed in said electrolyte container, electrode bars operatively connected to said electrode plates, electrode leading-out members extending through the lateral wall of said electrolyte container body with their welding surfaces to be welded to said electrode bars facing the inside of said electrolyte container, said electrode leading-out members being presented at the lateral wall portion of said electrolyte container body when said electrolyte container body is molded with said electrode leading-out members placed in a die for molding said electrolyte container body, wherein a spacing is defined between the peripheral edge of said welding surface of each of said electrode leading-out members and a portion of said electrolyte container body extending around said welding surface, wherein said welding surface and the inner wall surface of said electrolyte container body extending around said welding surface are flush with each other, and wherein said spacing extending around the leading-out member is formed by the mold for said electrolyte container body, said spacing being formed by an annular recess in said inner wall surface of said electrolyte container body, said spacing being so located that the wall surfaces forming said spacing are defined by a portion of the respective electrode leading-out member and by a portion of the electrolyte container body.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
A storage battery as set forth in claim 1, wherein said thermoplastic synthetic resin is polypropylene.
