(JP8031398-A)      A resealable safety valve comprises: (a) a safety valve body having a through hole at the centre of the inner bottom surrounded by a circular extrusion; (b) a safety valve cover having a vent hole, unitised with the safety valve body by means of bonding or fusion bonding method to provide a space within; (c) an elastic valve component made up of a valve seat and a rubber pad unitised into one-piece unit, the top part of which is inserted inside of a coil spring so that the top surface of a flange part of the valve component is pressed by the coil spring, which is housed within the space. The elastic valve component presses itself with the bottom surface of rubber pad to the circular extension inside the safety valve body and closes the through hole. Also claimed are sealed alkaline rechargeable batteries equipped with the above resealable safety valve.    USE -   The valve is used in sealed alkaline rechargeable batteries.    ADVANTAGE -   The valve exhibits stable and reliable valve operation under adverse environmental conditions such as vibration and shock. The rechargeable battery has a longer life cycle and high reliability.
