JP2002313301A - Battery furnished with suspension band - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a battery furnished with a lowcost suspension band in which the knot of the string of the suspension band is not exposed outside an external form of a battery, a problem of a knot being removed from the tip of a string does not exist when force is applied on the knot of the string in strength and exclusive part is not required to mount. SOLUTION: This battery with the string 7 as the suspension band of the battery by passing the string 7 in a through hole 6 provided on armor of the battery is constituted to store the tip part 8 and the knot 9 in a recess 5 by providing the recess 5 on the tip of the string 7 of this through hole 6, constituting the knot 9 at a part projected from the through hole 6 on the tip of the string 7 and bending the tip part 8 exceeding the knot 9 on the head end of the string 7 to the side of the through hole.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a battery provided with a suspension band.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional battery provided with a suspension band, for example, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-7569, a handle mounting portion having a through hole in a battery lid is provided. 2 shows a configuration in which a hand strap is passed through the strap and a drop-off preventing member is attached to the end of the strap to prevent the strap from coming off the handle attachment portion.

In such a configuration, it is necessary to prepare a detachment prevention member as a separate component, which is disadvantageous in terms of the price of the battery. In order to avoid such disadvantages, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, JP-A-8718 discloses a configuration in which a string is passed through a hole of a suspension hook provided in a storage battery lid, and a knot is formed at the tip of the string.

[0004] Such a structure in which a knot is formed at the tip of the string is advantageous in terms of the battery price because it does not require a separate part as compared with the structure disclosed in JP-A-9-7569. Since the part near the knot is exposed outside the battery outline, it is necessary to secure space for the exposed part, and the exposed part often hinders later wiring work and attachment work of accessories. there were.

[0005] Also, in terms of strength, in a structure in which a knot of a string tied with a knot (for example, an overhand knot) is locked to a suspension hook portion, when a force is applied to the suspension band, the time elapses. There has been a problem that the knot gradually moves toward the tip, and eventually the knot comes off.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a battery provided with a simple and high-strength suspension band without increasing the number of parts.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to the first aspect of the present invention, a string is passed through a through-hole provided in an exterior of a battery, and the string is suspended from the battery. In the battery as a band, a concave portion is provided in an opening corresponding to the leading end side of the string in the through hole, a knot is formed at a portion protruding from the through hole on the leading end side of the string, and the tip is located closer to the leading end of the string than the knot. FIG. 4 shows a battery in which a portion is bent toward a through hole and a tip portion and a knot are accommodated in the concave portion.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the battery provided with the hanging band according to the first aspect, the tip of the string is connected between the bottom surface of the concave portion of the through hole and the knot of the string. FIG.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the battery provided with the suspension band according to the first or second aspect, the outer diameter of the knot is larger than the inner diameter of the recess. This shows a configuration in which the knot and the concave portion are fixed by tight fitting.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a battery provided with the suspension band according to any one of the first to third aspects, wherein the through-hole is formed in either a battery case or a lid of the battery. It shows a configuration provided on one of the projections, wherein the recess of the through hole is closed by a lid or a battery case.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A battery according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an external perspective view showing a battery of the present invention. The battery 1 includes a battery case 2 for storing a group of electrode plates (not shown);
The battery case 2 includes a lid 3 for closing the container. A protrusion 4 is provided on a side surface of the battery case 2. FIG. 2 is a view showing a cross section of the protrusion 4 of the battery 1 of the present invention.

The projection 4 is provided with a rectangular concave portion 5 and a through hole 6 having a smaller diameter than the concave portion 5 to form a suspension hook portion. As shown in FIG. 2A, a string 7 is passed through the through hole 6 from below, and a knot 9 is formed while leaving the tip 8 of the string 7. The knot 9 can be formed by, for example, a normal knot (overhand knot). The dimensions of the concave portion 5 and the knot 9 are determined so that the outer diameter dimension A of the knot 9 is larger than the internal size B of the concave portion 5.

From the knot 9 of the string 7, the tip 8 is bent in the direction of the through hole 6 as shown by the arrow C, and the tip 8 and the knot 9 are stored in the recess 5 as shown in FIG. Since the inner dimension B of the concave portion 5 is configured to be smaller than the outer diameter dimension A of the knot 9, the knot 9 does not easily come off from the concave portion 5. Further, the depth dimension of the concave portion is set so that the knot 9 is completely stored in the concave portion 5. Further, the distal end portion 8 is configured to be located between the concave bottom surface 10 and the knot 9.

With such a configuration, when the battery 1 is hung by the string 7, the knot 9 is pressed toward the concave bottom surface 10 by the tension F applied to the string 7. When the knot 9 is formed of a normal knot, the knot 9 may gradually move to the tip 8 due to the tension F, and the knot may be released. However, according to the configuration of the present invention, the tip 8 itself is tensioned. Since it is fixed by being fastened between the knot 9 and the concave bottom surface 10 by F, the knot 9 does not move in the direction of the tip 8.

Further, the opening 5a of the recess 5 may be closed by the lid 3. For example, if the opening 5a is closed by the terminal cover 3a formed integrally with the lid 3 shown in FIG. 1, the knot 9 can be made invisible from the outside, so that the battery appearance can be further improved. .

[0017]

According to the structure of the present invention as described above, since the tip of the knot of the string is not exposed outside the outer shape of the battery, it is not necessary to secure a space for the exposed portion, and the appearance is good. be able to. In addition, since there is no exposed portion, an effect is obtained in that there is no hindrance to the subsequent wiring work and attachment work of the accessory parts. Further, in terms of strength, the tension at the time of suspending the battery acts in the direction in which the tip of the knot is fixed. Further, such effects can be obtained at low cost without requiring separate parts, and therefore, the present invention is extremely useful industrially.
