Abstract
Abstract An alkaline galvanic cell including a container serving for a cathode terminal, a sealing plate in the form of a layered clad plate serving for an anode terminal to be fitted into the container, and an insulating packing provided between the sealing plate and container for sealing the cell upon assembly. The cell is provided with a layer of epoxy adduct polyamide amine having amine valence in the range of 50 to 400 and disposed between the innermost copper layer of the sealing plate arranged to be readily amalgamated and the insulating packing so as to serve as a sealing agent or liquid leakage suppression agent.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
An alkaline galvanic cell which comprises an anode sealing plate in the form of a layered clad plate having an innermost copper layer, in which an anode active substance is accommodated, a cathode container in which a cathode active substance is housed, an insulating packing provided around the peripheral edge of said anode sealing plate which is fitted into said cathode container for hermetically sealing said cell, a layer of epoxy adduct polyamide amine disposed at a sealing portion of said anode sealing plate between said innermost copper layer of said anode sealing plate and said insulating packing, said epoxy adduct polyamide amine being thermo-plastic, with a tack even after assembly of said cell and having amine valence in the range of 50 to 400.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
125 words
An alkaline galvanic cell which comprises an anode sealing plate in the form of a layered clad plate having an innermost copper layer, in which an anode active substance is accommodated, a cathode container in which a cathode active substance is housed, an insulating packing provided around the peripheral edge of said anode sealing plate which is fitted into said cathode container for hermetically sealing said cell, a layer of epoxy adduct polyamide amine disposed at a sealing portion of said anode sealing plate between said innermost copper layer of said anode sealing plate and said insulating packing, said epoxy adduct polyamide amine being thermo-plastic, with a tack even after assembly of said cell and having amine valence in the range of 50 to 400.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
The alkaline galvanic cell as claimed in claim 1, wherein said anode sealing plate is in the form of a three-layered plate having said innermost copper layer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
82 words
The alkaline galvanic cell as claimed in claim 1, wherein said epoxy adduct polyamide amine is prepared by subjecting to addition polymerization, epoxy resin and amine in amine excess composition in a mixed solvent of alcohol and at least one aromatic, hydrocarbon selected from the group consisting of benzene, toluene, and xylene, said epoxy adduct polyamide amine applied to said sealing portion having the tack even after drying of the solvent subsequent to assembly of said anode sealing plate and insulating packing.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
