The present disclosure relates to energy storage devices having: a sealed container configured to house a plurality of energy storage devices and enable electrical communication via terminals of the sealed container and a vent located on a periphery of the sealed container. The vent generally comprises a vent panel; a countersink located adjacent the vent panel; at least one score located in the countersink; a buckling initiator at least partially located on the countersink, where the buckling initiator is configured to intersect with the at least one score; and a hinge portion attached to the vent panel, where the hinge portion is positioned opposite the buckling initiator.

Energy storage device and related methods

A wheel for a pneumatic tire has a rim with one monolithic bead seat and a removable beat seat. The removable bead seat has two halves that embrace the rim and engage a groove to retain the tire. The removable bead seat may have a second lip either monolithically formed or as a part of a separate retainer that bolts to the bead seat. The wheel may be made from aluminum alloy.

Wheel assembly

The invention relates to a structural sheet formed with cup-shaped projections in which the sidewalls are formed by a sigmoidal line of revolution to provide for more uniform distribution of stress in the structural sheet. There is also provided a novel two-component structural panel which incorporates the advantages of such a structural element to eliminate depressions in the outer panel member which would present 'read through' problems.

Structural sheet and panel

A scissor jack having four aluminum arms of U-shaped cross section which are substantially identical and which may include a hollow aluminum lead screw. The threaded nut through which the lead screw is mounted may be made of glass fiber reinforced plastic as may the saddle which is adapted to engage the undercarriage of a vehicle.
