A new separator for an alkaline cell is provided, which can prevent deformation to an end of the separator and also prevent short circuits within the cell structure when an external force is added to the cell. The separator has a characteristic that a ratio of a tensile strength of a longitudinal direction of a separator base paper and a tensile strength of a widthwise direction of the base paper is within a range of 2/1 to 1/1. The invention provides a new method of producing the separator. The method permits reliability in sealing properties of a closed bottom end and high productivity. The method has the steps of: winding the base paper to form a cylindrical body; subjecting the cylindrical body to a closed bottom forming step while the cylindrical body is held by a clamping device to maintain its cylindrical shape; heat-bonding an end of the cylindrical body to close the end; and releasing the cylindrical body from the cylindrical clamping device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A method of producing a separator for an alkaline cell, comprising the steps of: winding a base paper for a separator to form a cylindrical body, subjecting the thus formed cylindrical body to a closed bottom forming step while the cylindrical body is held by a cylindrical clamping jig device to maintain its cylindrical shape, heat treating an end of the cylindrical body to close the end to thereby form a closed end, and releasing the cylindrical body from the cylindrical clamping jig device, wherein when the end of the cylindrical body is closed by the heat treating, a rod-like jig is pressed against the end of the cylindrical body obliquely relative to a longitudinal axis of the cylindrical body to depress one side portion of the end of the cylindrical body to bend and fold the portion at right angles and, at this moment, a heat curl die is pressed against the end of the cylindrical body to perform a heat bonding.
2.
A method of producing a separator for an alkaline cell according to claim 1 wherein the cylindrical clamping jig device has a holding hole having a diameter which is substantially same as or slightly larger than an outer diameter D1 of the cylindrical body, and a length which is larger than a half of the length L1 of the cylindrical body.
3.
A method of producing a separator for an alkaline cell according to claim 2, wherein upper and lower portions of a winding end of the cylindrical body are sprayed with water so that the sprayed portion has a length, which is longer than an actual circumferential length of the cylindrical body.
4.
A method of producing a separator for an alkaline cell according to claim 1, wherein the cylindrical body is formed such that water is sprayed to a predetermined portion of the base paper, and the base paper is then wound to a cylindrical form, and a heat plate is applied to a predetermined water-sprayed portion of the cylindrically formed base paper to evaporate the water and, at the same time, to proceed hot press bonding of the base paper
