Description
SPECIFICATION
Improved battery snap
This invention relates to an improved battery snap comprising an upper rigid cover, a lower rigid cover, a socket of battery anode, plug of battery cathode and power lines of which all parts can be easily assembled with simplified steps and lower production cost.
The conventional battery snap for connecting dry cell such as of 9 volts cell can be shown in Fig. 1, 2 and 2a. The socket of battery anode M or plugXof battery cathode F is respectively rivetted onto insulating board I and upper plastic film P by eyelet R which is originally separated with said socket M or plug F. After performing solder welding to connect powerline W on the eyelet R, the lower plastic film P' is then bound to said upper film P by high frequency welding to form a battery snap so as to insert or connect dry cell such as of 9 volts.Its manufacturing process is complex including the following 1 8 steps:
(1) To cut a lengthy stripe for making upper plastic film P,
(2) To punch holes for socket M or plug F on the upper plastic film P,
(3) To make socket of anode M,
(4) To make plug of cathode F,
(5) To cut the stripe of insulating board,
(6) Punching to form the individual insulating boards 1,
(7) To make eyelet of socket of anode,
(8) To make eyelet of plug of cathode,
(9) To moisten the insulating board I in order to expand the punching holes for eyelet
R and then to install the eyelets so that, after being dried, said punching holes will be shrunk to fasten said eyelet to prevent from releasing,
(10) To assemble said socket, plug, upper plastic film and insulating board,
(11) To rivet said socket or plug with said eyelets,
(12) To cut power line with specific length for positive electrode (anode) of battery.
(13) To cut power line with specific length for negative electrode (cathode) of battery,
(14), (1 5) To performing solder welding of two power lines,
(16) To cut stripe of lower plastic film P',
(17) Welding said upper film P with lower film P' by high frequency welding to form edge H thereon, and
(18) After assembling the upper and lower films, each individual battery snap will be released from said stripes of plastic films.
Then finishing each product for smoother edge.
From the foregoing steps for producing the conventional battery snap, it has been found to have the following defects:
(1) The socket of anode and plug of cathode is respectively separated with the eyelets.
Whenever producing the battery snap, the eyelets are then rivetted with said socket and plug so that the production cost wi': be higher.
(2) The cost of material or labor will be increased by further using the insulating board I.
(3) The initial or investment cost will be higher by using the apparatus of high frequency welding.
(4) The insulating board should be preimpregnated in water to expand the punching holes. Then, the eyelets are inserted into said holes. The eyelets will be fastened onto board after said board being dried which, however, takes time,
(5) If the holes for power lines are either led from central portion or from both extremity sides, the punching moulds for make insulating board and shaping molds of high frequency welding should be at least two sets.
The installation cost and production complexity will then be increased.
(6) The product color will be difficult to modify as the plastic film should be purchased by bulk or big lot and, whenever the color must be diversified, the raw material should be overail adjusted so that the material or production control will become complex ct may cause troubles during production.
(7) The process applies the high frequency welding so that the product edge H still remains on eah snap which should be further released or finished and thus wastes iabour.
The product volume may also be increased to influence packaging or handling.
The present inventor has found these defects and improved to disclose the present improved battery snap.
The invention will now be described in detail, with reference to accompanying drawings, in which,
Figure 1 is a perspective drawing of conventional battery snap.

Figure 6 is the illustration of present invention when ready for insertion of dry cell.
Figure 7 is a plan view drawing of said upper cover and lower cover of another embodiment of the present invention.
Figure 7a is the sectional drawing when assembling said two covers of Fig. 7.
Figure 8 is a plan view drawing of still another embodiment of the present invention.
Figure 8a is the sectional drawing of assembled covers of Fig. 8.
As shown in Fig. 3 through Fig. 7, the battery snap of the present invention comprises an upper rigid cover 1, a lower rigid cover 2, a socket of battery anode 3, a plug of battery cathode 4 and power lines 5.
Said upper rigid cover 1 is provided with two rivet holes 10 thereon. Two side holes 11, 11 for passing power line 5 are respectively formed on both sides of said cover 1. A central hole 1 2 is also formed on its central portion to lead power line 5 centrally, if necessary. The edge of and under said cover 1 is formed extension 1 3. A pin 14 is extended from under said cover 1.
Said lower rigid cover 2 is likely made two side holes 21, 21 and one central hole 22.
The extension 23 is also formed on the edge of said cover 2. A pin sheath 24 having pin hole 24a thereon is provided from said cover 2 as shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 7.
Both cover 1 and 2 are made from rigid plastic such as ABS or PS, preferably polystyrene of high impact strength.
Said socket of battery anode 3 is formed a socket of multiple forks 31 as shown in Fig. 5 and 5a. Its lower portion is drawn to form a shank 32 so that said socket 3 having shank 32 can be directly rivetted onto said upper cover 1.
Said plug of battery cathode 4 is formed a central plug 41 which is then bent to develop an annular extension plate 42 and is also contractedly drawn downwards to form another shank 43 which may also be directly rivetted onto said upper cover 1.
The power lines 5 are respectively fixed on positions 51, 51 of said shanks 32, 43.
Adhesive is then coated on said extensions 13, 23 to bind said upper cover 1 and lower cover 2. Naturally, said cover 1 may also be assembled with said cover 2 merely by coating solvent such as Toluene along the boundary of said two covers so as to adhere and bind said two covers when the cover material is made from Poly-styrene of high impact strength. This is because solvent, Toluene, may partially dissolve said PS to form an adhesive in situ within the boundary of said two covers. The battery snap will then be ready for insertion of battery B as shown in
Fig. 6.
Another style of the preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in Fig. 7 and 7a.
In Fig. 8 and 8a, the pin 14 and pin sheath 24 are saved and the lower cover 2 is simplified and substituted with a covering plate 2a.
However, the original extension 1 3 should be modified to have a shallow groove 1 3a in order to engage with said covering plate 2a.
The covering plate 2a is also formed two side holes 21a and a central hole 22a to correspond said side holes 11, 11 and central hole 12 of said upper cover 1.
Said covering plate 2a may be bound to said cover 1 to form the present snap.
As exemplified by the preferred embodiments of the present invention as abovementioned, their advantages can be concluded as follows:
(1) The socket of battery anode and plug of battery cathode is made integratedly with shank so as to save production cost and to simplify the manufacturing process.
(2) The rigid plastic cover 1 or 2 is an electric insulating material so that the conventional insulating board I can be saved in the present invention.
(3) The upper cover is bound with lower cover by adhesive or solvent only to eliminate the application of high frequency welding.
(4) The magnificient colors of snap product can be furnished by directly mixing pigments into the molding compound when making the plastic for the present invention. The products can be easily classified by identification of their specific representing color.
(5) The edge of conventional snap caused by high frequency welding is neglected so that the product volume of the present invention is minimized for the convenience of material handling or storage.
(6) Three holes (11,11, 12or21, 21, 22) are provided on each snap for optional leading of powder lines from either direction through said holes.
(7) The covers 1 and 2 may be moulded into many diversified styles to enrich the product beauty by designing the molds in advance.
Hence, the present invention is really an improvement over the conventional battery snap as shown in Fig. 1.
