Abstract

In electronic parts including an electrochemical element and a closed container for containing the element, there is disclosed a pressure regulating valve, which is arranged in a gas flow passage (3) leading from the inside to the outside of the container (1), for regulating the pressure in the container (1). The pressure regulating valve comprises (a) a gas permeating member (4) for permeating gases in the container (1) selectively, and (b) an ON/OFF member (5) for making the gas permeating member (4) movable in two directions by the rise and subsequent drop of the gas pressure in the container, thereby to open/close the pressure regulating valve. The pressure regulating valve can further comprise a gas-liquid separating film (7) for preventing the outflow of the liquid, which might otherwise be carried by the gases to flow out. The pressure regulating valve can be used as one for the electronic parts such as a battery, an electrolytic capacitor or an electric double-layer capacitor, which is enabled to retain a long reliability by suppressing the permeation of the electrolyte solvent component to be carried by the gases.

The laser pointer for pointing an arbitrary position by emitting a laser beam from an emitting part (1) is characterized by comprising a power supply (3) having electrical double layer capacitors (3a, 3b) and a connection section (4) for connection to an external electronic device or a power supply. The laser pointer can also comprise a discharging circuit (9) for discharging the excessive charge of the power supply (3). The connection section (4) can be composed of a USB (Universal Serial Bus) terminal. The laser pointer does not cause an accident that a person receives the laser beam at the eye by mistake.
