Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a cover and case for a battery that allows one-touch attachment and detachment of the battery body to the case.

Batteries, especially batteries for automobiles, are generally housed in a case, and a battery cover is removably attached to the case so as to cover the upper part of the battery.

The mounting state of a conventional battery cover will be explained with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 is an example of this, and generally a plastic cover 1 is used as a battery case 2 that stores batteries.
The covers are placed on top of the cover and are fastened with bolts using wing nuts 3 at each peripheral edge, and the wing nuts 3 are removed as necessary to attach and remove the cover.

Figure 2 shows another example, in which battery case 2
Hangs 4, 4 are rotatably attached to both sides of the battery cover 1, and the battery cover 1 is locked to the case 2 by these latches 4, 4.

There are other methods such as using a lever to lock the cover to the case, but either method requires an extra mechanism and equipment for attachment, and the cost of manufacturing and installing the cover and case increases. It was inviting a rise.

The purpose of the present invention is to utilize the elasticity of the cover itself to lock the cover to the case without using the conventional mechanism and equipment described above, and to achieve extremely simple and low-cost attachment/detachment to the case. Our goal is to provide a one-touch battery cover.

Next, the present invention will be described by way of examples with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention,
In this figure, the battery cover 11 faces two
Horizontal overhangs 11a, 11b, 1
1c are each integrally formed. The central portion 11c of the projecting portion further projects in the horizontal direction. This battery cover 11 is made of elastic plastic material.

On both upper edges 13, 13 of the battery case 12 that houses the battery 10, horizontal U-shaped or U-shaped locking parts 12a, 12b are provided at a spaced interval in the center to accommodate two battery cases 12, respectively. is integrally formed with. The locking portions 12a and 12b open inward.

Although the protruding central portion 12 is useful for grasping the cover 11 when attaching and detaching the cover 11, it is not necessarily necessary, and it is not necessarily necessary to provide two locking portions 12a and 12b each. Instead, one or three or more may be provided, and these may be provided as appropriate depending on the dimensions of the cover, case, and other conditions.

Next, mutual attachment and detachment of the battery cover and case of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 4a and 4b.

FIG. 4a shows a state in which the cover 11 is locked to the case 12. To remove the cover 11 from this state, apply force to the cover 11 in the direction of arrow A. The cover 11 is made of an elastic plastic material. Since it is made of
The projecting portion 11a of the cover 11 comes off from the locking portion 12a of the case 12, and the cover 11 can be easily removed.

When attaching the cover 11 to the case 12, it can be easily attached by reversing the removal procedure.

As explained above, in the present invention, a protruding part is integrally formed on the side edge of the battery cover made of elastic plastic material, and a U-shaped locking part corresponding to this protruding part is formed. Since it is integrally formed with the battery case, the cover can be attached and detached from the case with a single touch, and the battery cover and case do not have an extra mechanism for attachment unlike conventional ones. and requires no equipment and is therefore low cost.
