`
`AMENDMENTS TO THE CLAIMS
`
`This listing of claims replaces all prior versions of claims in the application.
`
`Listing of Claims:
`
`1. (Currently Amended) A cylindrical battery comprising:
`
`an electrode group;
`
`an electrolyte;
`
`a battery can that houses the electrode group and the electrolyte; and
`
`an opening sealing body that seals an opening of the battery can,
`
`the opening sealing body including
`
`a valve member,
`
`a metal plate disposed on an inner side of the battery with respect to the valve member,
`
`and __an annular insulating memberinterposed between the valve memberandthe metalplate,
`
`wherein the valve memberand the metal plate are connected to each other at respective
`
`central portions,
`
`the valve member has a thin-walled portion which is deformable when an internal
`
`pressure of the battery increases,
`
`the insulating memberhas
`
`a section P1 that covers a surface, on the valve memberside, of the metal plate,
`
`a section P2 that is provided subsequent to the section Pl and covers a circumferential
`
`end face of the metal plate, and
`
`a section P3 that is provided subsequent to the section P2 and covers a surface, on an
`
`inner side of the battery, of the metal plate, and
`
`
`
`Application No.: 16/634,652
`
`Docket No.: P200028US00
`
`the section P3 is provided to cover an area greater than or equal to 0.2 mm from the
`
`circumferential end face of the surface, on the innerside of the battery, of the metal plate toward
`
`a center,
`
`wherein the metal plate and the insulating member have respective holes which
`
`communicate with each other
`
`wherein the insulating memberfurther has a section P4 that is provided subsequent to the
`
`section Pl and covers an innerlateral side surface of the holes of the metal plate, and
`
`wherein the insulating memberfurther has a section P5 that is provided subsequent to the
`
`section P4 and covers the surface, on the inner side of the battery, of the metal plate.
`
`2 — 4. (Canceled)
`
`5. (Previously Presented) The cylindrical battery according to Claim 1,
`
`wherein a recessed portion is formed by the thin-walled portion on the insulating member
`
`opposing side of the valve member, and
`
`the section P1 has a rib to be housedin the recessed portion.
`
`6. (Original) The cylindrical battery according to Claim 5,
`
`wherein the section P1 has an area which coverspart of the holes of the metal plate, and
`
`at least part of the rib is provided in the area.
`
`7. (Previously Presented) The cylindrical battery according to Claim 1,
`
`wherein the insulating memberis integrated with the metal plate by adhesive bonding.
`
`
`
`Application No.: 16/634,652
`
`Docket No.: P200028US00
`
`8. (New) A cylindrical battery comprising:
`
`an electrode group;
`
`an electrolyte;
`
`a battery can that housesthe electrode group andthe electrolyte;
`
`and an opening sealing body that seals an opening ofthe battery can,
`
`the opening sealing body including
`
`a valve member,
`
`a metal plate disposed on an inner side of the battery with respect to the valve member,
`
`and
`
`an annular insulating memberinterposed between the valve memberand the metalplate,
`
`wherein the valve memberand the metal plate are connected to each other at respective
`
`central portions,
`
`the valve member has a thin-walled portion which is deformable when an internal
`
`pressure of the battery increases,
`
`the insulating memberhas
`
`a section P1 that covers a surface, on the valve memberside, of the metal plate,
`
`a section P2 that is provided subsequent to the section Pl and covers a circumferential
`
`end face of the metal plate, and
`
`a section P3 that is provided subsequent to the section P2 and covers a surface, on an
`
`inner side of the battery, of the metal plate, and
`
`
`
`Application No.: 16/634,652
`
`Docket No.: P200028US00
`
`the section P3 is provided to cover an area greater than or equal to 0.2 mm from the
`
`circumferential end face of the surface, on the innerside of the battery, of the metal plate toward
`
`a center,
`
`wherein the metal plate and the insulating member have respective holes which
`
`communicate with each other,
`
`wherein the insulating memberfurther has a section P4 that is provided subsequentto the
`
`section P1 and coversa lateral side of at least one of the holes of the metal plate, and
`
`wherein the at least one of the holes of the metal plate have a gap formed by a portion of
`
`the at least one of the holes of the metal plate which remains unfilled with the insulating
`
`member.
`
`9. (New) Thecylindrical battery according to claim 8,
`
`wherein the section P4 coversthe lateral side of each of the holes of the metalplate.
