Abstract
Abstract An electrical double layer capacitor containing at least one electrical double layer unit which comprises a pair of electrodes separated by a separator and positioned between a pair of collecting plates with an insulating ring being provided with around the periphery of the electrodes, wherein the electrode comprises active carbon fiber fabric carrying active carbon powder thereon, which has stable capacitance and longer discharging time due to small internal resistance.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
An electrical double layer capacitor containing at least one electrical double layer unit comprising: a pair of electrodes separated by a separator and positioned between a pair of collecting plates with an insulting ring being provided around the periphery of said electrodes, said electrodes including an active carbon fiber fabric carrying an active carbon powder thereon wherein the active carbon fiber fabric is present on said separator side and a lyaer of the active carbon powder is present on said collecting plate side.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
83 words
An electrical double layer capacitor containing at least one electrical double layer unit comprising: a pair of electrodes separated by a separator and positioned between a pair of collecting plates with an insulting ring being provided around the periphery of said electrodes, said electrodes including an active carbon fiber fabric carrying an active carbon powder thereon wherein the active carbon fiber fabric is present on said separator side and a lyaer of the active carbon powder is present on said collecting plate side.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
A capacitor according to claim 1, wherein the active carbon powder and the active carbon fiber fabric have a specific surface area of 1,500 to 2,500 m 2 /g.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
A capacitor according to claim 1, wherein the active carbon fiber fabric is in the form of cloth.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words

Claim 6
Independent Claim
86 words
A method for producing an electrical double layer capacitor, comprising the steps of: bonding insulating rings to a pair of respecitive collecting plates to form two grommets, pouring a mixture of active carbon powder and an electrolytic solution in the cavities of the grommets, positioning an active carbon fiber fabric having a suitable shape and size on the mixture, bonding the two grommets together by interposing a separator between them to form an electrical double layer unit, and enclosing said unit in positive and negative cans.
