Conventionally, heat-shrinkable vinyl chloride resin tubes have been used as exterior materials for Leclancier batteries, etc., but since these tubes do not have adhesive properties on their own, after the necessary printing, the tubes shown in Figure 7 are used. As shown in a, it is made into a tube shape with an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the unit cell A (a unit cell is one that has a battery function and is not covered with an exterior material), and the height of the battery is After cutting it to the appropriate length,
The tube 21 is connected to the unit cell A as shown in FIG. 7b.
The battery was packaged by placing the tube 21 over the outer circumferential surface and the upper and lower curled portions of the unit cell A, and heating the tube 21 to cause the tube to shrink, as shown in FIG. 7c.

In this case, it is difficult to mechanize the process of covering the battery with a heat-shrinkable PVC resin tube as an exterior material, so the process has to be done mostly by hand.
Therefore, productivity is poor, and when the heat-shrinkable vinyl chloride resin tube is covered, a space is created between the tube and the battery due to the dimensional difference between the tube and the cell, which causes wrinkles and other problems in the finished product. The drawback was that it was bad.

In addition, printing is naturally applied to the outer surface of the heat-shrinkable PVC resin tube used as the exterior material, but there is a limit to the printing that can be done because it is fixed to the battery after a considerable amount of heat shrinkage. For example, metal vapor deposition to create a metallic feel could not be used because it would peel off due to shrinkage.

The present invention solves the drawbacks of the prior art described above, and includes a heat-shrinkable resin film, an adhesive layer formed on one surface of the heat-shrinkable resin film for adhesion to the outer peripheral surface of the unit cell, This objective is achieved by using an exterior material consisting of a printed layer formed on the other side of the heat-shrinkable resin film as the exterior for the outer peripheral surface of the unit cell.

FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional view showing one embodiment of the battery of the present invention. The battery is a AAA dry battery, and in this embodiment, the exterior material 1 serves as a battery container constituting the outer periphery of the unit cell. The outer peripheral surface of the zinc can 2 is covered. As shown in FIG. 3, the exterior material 1 includes a heat-shrinkable resin film 1a, an adhesive layer 1b formed on one surface of the heat-shrinkable resin film 1a, and an adhesive layer 1b formed on the other surface of the heat-shrinkable resin film 1a. The adhesive layer 1b is bonded to the zinc can 2.

Since this exterior material 1 is provided with an adhesive layer 1b, it does not need to be shaped into a tube like conventional exterior materials, and can be used in the form of a film, for example, as shown in Figure 4a. (The width is unit cell A
(The length is slightly longer than the circumference of the outer periphery of the cell, and the height of the outer periphery of the cell is slightly longer than the height of the outer periphery of the cell). It is pasted on the outer circumferential surface of unit cell A, heated to cause heat shrinkage, and its upper and lower ends are brought into close contact with the upper and lower curled portions of unit cell A, as shown in FIG. 4c.

Since this type of exterior material 1 is provided with the adhesive layer 1b, it does not need to be made into a tube shape unlike conventionally used exterior materials, and can be used in the form of a film. It can be easily mechanized, and there is no need for large heat shrinkage as in conventional methods, so there are no wrinkles and the finished product is very good. In addition, since there is no need for large shrinkage, it is possible to form the printed layer 1c by not only printing with ink as in the past, but also by vapor deposition of metal such as aluminum, and ink printing on the metal vapor deposition layer. By applying this, a beautiful metallic printed layer can be obtained. Moreover, the shrinkage force of the heat-shrinkable resin film and the adhesive force of the adhesive allow it to adhere to the outer circumferential surface of the unit cell, so the adhesion is stronger and the outer casing material can be peeled off compared to the conventional case, which was made to adhere only by the shrinkage force. There are few Furthermore, when applied to a dry battery as shown in the example, the adhesive strongly adheres to the zinc can, so if a pinhole occurs in the zinc can during use, electrolyte leakage is prevented. It has the effect of preventing In the figure, 3 is a separator, 4 is a bottom paper, 5 is a positive electrode mixture, 6 is a top cover paper, 7 is a carbon rod, 8 is a sealing material, 9 is a sealing body,
