Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] a. Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an improvement of a battery bracket used for mounting a battery on the body of an automobile.

b. Conventional Technology As a bracket of this type, for example, one having a structure shown in FIG. 4 is known. In the figure, 1 is a fender apron panel, and 2 and 3 which are mounting members are a bracket support member and an apron side member fixed to the panel 1. Reference numeral 4 denotes a bracket stay having a substantially U-shaped cross section, and a lower end portion 4b is provided at one end thereof. The stay 4
Is the upper surface 4a of the bracket support member 2
The lower end part 4b is fixed to the side surface 3a of the apron side member 3 by a bolt 5 which is a screw part while abutting against the 2a. A dish-shaped member 6 is attached to the upper surface of the bracket stay 4, and the battery 7 is mounted and fixed on the member 6.

By the way, this battery bracket is subjected to electrodeposition coating in a state of being assembled to the fender apron panel 1 in the manufacturing process. Also, it is necessary to coat the back surface of the lower end portion 4b of the bracket stay 4 for rust prevention,
Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the bolts 5 are plate-fastened and the bracket stays 4 are attached to the upper surface of the bracket support member 2.
The battery bracket was painted with the corners of 2a abutting diagonally.

c. Problem to be solved by the invention However, when the paint is applied in this way, since the bracket stay 4 is in line contact with the corner of the upper surface 2a of the bracket support member 2, the contact area is large. Is firmly fixed to the corners of the upper surface 2a,
When the bolt 5 is fastened, the bracket stay 4 moves to the third position.
It deforms into a curve as shown. Therefore, the bracket stay 4 was hit with a hammer or the like to be peeled off from the bracket support member 2. However, there was a problem that the number of work steps increased and the production cost increased.

d. Means for Solving the Problems The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is that the bracket stay may be firmly fixed to the upper surface of the mounting member when coating is applied. The purpose is to provide a battery bracket for automobiles that does not have a
Mounting members 2 and 3 each having an upper surface portion 2a having a horizontal surface and side surface portions 2b and 3a extending downward from the upper surface portion 2a are attached, and the upper end portion 4a of the bracket stay 4 having a substantially U-shape is attached to the upper surface portion. 2a, and the lower end portion 4b is superposed on the side surfaces 2a, 3b of the mounting members 2, 3 and fixed to the side surfaces 2b, 3a with a screw component 5, and the battery is mounted on the upper surface of the bracket stay 4. In a battery bracket for an automobile that is placed and fixed, the protrusion 10 is provided downward on the upper end portion 4a of the bracket stay 4, and when the bracket stay 4 is fixed to the mounting members 2 and 3, the protrusion 10 is Insert the fitting hole into the mounting member 2,
3 is provided on the upper surface portion 2a.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a hemispherical projection 10 is provided on the mating surface of the bracket stay 4 with the bracket support member 2, and a hole 11 with which the projection 10 is engaged is formed on the upper surface of the bracket support member 2. It is provided in the part 2a. In addition, 12 is a hole provided in the bracket stay 4 and the bracket support member 2, and 13 is a nut fixed to the lower surfaces of the bracket stay 4 and the bracket support member 2.

The structure other than the upper end part 4a of the bracket stay 4 and the upper surface part 2a of the bracket support member 2 is the same as that of the conventional example shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, and therefore the same reference numerals are given and detailed description thereof is given. Is omitted.

Since the present embodiment is constructed in this manner, when applying the electrodeposition coating to the battery bracket, the bolt 5 is passed through the lower end portion 4b of the bracket stay 4 as shown in FIG. Should be brought into contact with the vicinity of the hole 11. At this time, since the upper end 4a of the bracket stay 4 is placed on the bracket support member 2 in a state of point contact, the bracket stay 4 is firmly fixed to the bracket support member 2 after painting, as in the conventional case. There is no such thing. When the bolt 5 is completely tightened, the protrusion 10
Will easily move into engagement with the hole 11.

Finally, by inserting a bolt (not shown) through the hole 12 and engaging the tip of the bolt with the nut 13, the dish-shaped member 6 shown in FIG. 4 may be attached.

In this embodiment, the bracket support member 2 and the apron side member 3 are provided separately, but these mounting members may be integrally formed and the reinforcing member may be mounted therebetween.

e. Effect of the Invention According to the present invention, when the bracket stay is temporarily fixed to the mounting member, the contact area of the stay with the mounting member becomes small. Therefore, the bracket stay is not firmly fixed to the mounting member after painting. Absent. Therefore, the post-treatment process of peeling off the bracket stay from the mounting member after painting is unnecessary, which is advantageous in terms of cost.

Further, when the bolts are fastened, the bracket stay is not deformed, and the stay can be mounted at a predetermined position without causing displacement or variation with respect to the mounting member, so that the quality is stabilized and improved. It can also be planned.
