Abstract:
A pressure release mechanism for a battery pack is constituted by a circular opening section and a gap adjustment plate. The gap adjustment plate is fixed to a wall through a pair of fixtures mutually opposed against each other via the opening section. When gas is generated due to an internal short-circuiting of any one or more of cells or so forth, the battery pack performs an elastic deformation trying to expand by itself. A gap is developed in association with a bending deformation of a wall surrounding the opening section in a direction orthogonal to the pair of fixtures. A high pressure gas in an inside of the pack casing is discharged externally via the gap

Claim (Index 1):
A pressure release mechanism for a battery pack substantially tightly sealed and into which a plurality of batteries are accommodated, comprising:\n an opening section formed to open a wall of a pack casing to communicate an inner space of the pack casing with an outer space of the pack casing; and a plate-like member arranged along an outer side surface of the pack casing or an inner side surface of the pack casing to enclose the opening section and locally fixed onto the wall at fixture sections of two locations mutually opposed against each other across the opening section.
