BATTERY CAN, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME AND DEVICE FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME, AND BATTERY USING BATERY CAN

摘要

A battery case is made by cutting from a blank case of a bottomed cylindrical battery case having an unwanted portion at an opening portion the unwanted portion from the case wall in the circumferential direction by a blade. The cutting of the case wall is performed so as to render a cutting-end portion higher than a cutting-start portion. Thus, re-cutting of the cutting-start portion by the blade after it has already completed one rotation can be avoided. As a result, the generation of thread-like chips from re-cutting of the cut surface can be avoided.
