Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a battery housing case for housing a cylindrical dry battery or storage battery.

For example, as shown in Fig. 1, a conventional general-purpose battery housing case has convex pieces B on both sides of the case A.
It is known that a device is provided with a device to prevent the stored battery from falling out. However, it has been difficult to provide a battery cover in this type of case.
There is also a battery storage case in which a battery storage portion is provided in a part of the housing and a battery cover is used to prevent the battery from falling out. However, in this case, it had the disadvantage that it was dedicated to each model, and its versatility was lost.

The present invention provides a battery housing case that eliminates the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks and is also highly economical. The present invention will be explained below along with one embodiment thereof.

In Fig. 2, 1 is a box part, 2 and 3 are battery connection terminals, 4a and 4b are batteries arranged in parallel in opposite directions, 5 is a battery conductive plate, 6 and 7 are battery holding wings, and 8
is the lid.

It is assumed that both the box part 1 and the lid part 8 are made of elastic material such as plastic.

Next, the detailed structure of each part will be explained. 1a and 1b are the outer distances B between the arms 8a and 8b in a part of the box part.
The protrusions 1c and 1d constituting the pair of fulcrum holding portions provided at the same interval A are a pair of small holes passing through the protrusions 1a and 1b. 2a and 3a are contacts for the positive terminal of the battery, 2b and 3b are contacts for the negative terminal, and the contact 2 is placed on the conductive plate 5.
b and 3a are fixed, and the contact 2a and the connecting terminal 2 are connected, and the contact 3b and the connecting terminal 3 are connected, respectively. Slits 6 are provided at both ends of the battery holding wings 6 and 7 to provide elasticity to the upper part thereof.
a, 6b and 7a, 7b are provided. 8
a and 8b are a pair of arms provided on both sides of the lid 8, 8c and 8d are a pair of protrusions provided on the outside of the pair of arms 8a and 8b, and 8e and 8f are the arms 8a and 8b and the lid 8. A pair of slits 8g provided in between are finger rests provided at one end of the lid 8. 8h
8i is a first notch constituting an engaging means provided at the lower part of the finger hook 8g, and 8i is a first notch following the notch.
The tip portions 6d and 6e are a second notch portion and a second notch portion that constitute an engaging means provided in the central portion of the battery holding wing 6 to correspond to the notch portion 8h and the tip portion 8i, respectively. This is the tip.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained. When the batteries 4a and 4b are inserted into the box part 1 in opposite directions, the batteries 4a and 4b are connected in series via the conductive plate 5, and voltage can be taken out from the connection terminals 2 and 3. Battery holding wings 6, 7 are provided on the side surfaces of the housed batteries 4a, 4b.
The upper part of the case material is elastic and the slit 6a,
6b, 7a, and 7b are pressed and held by the spring force caused by deflection.

Next, in order to attach the lid 8 to the box part, pressurize both ends of the lid 8 from the directions of arrows A and B to attach the arms 8a and 8.
b is bent inward and the protrusions 8c, 8d are inserted into the pair of small holes 1c, 1d, the pair of arms 8a, 8b is restored due to the elasticity of the material, and the protrusions 8c, 8
The lid 8 is held freely openable around d. However, if the lid 8 is pressed downward while holding the finger hook 8g, the first notch and the first tip are connected to the second tip and the second notch provided on the upper part of the battery holding wing 6. The lid 8 is engaged by the elasticity of the material (fitted by a hook action) to hold the battery inside in a closed state. In addition, to open the lid 8, the finger hook 8g
If you hold it and pull it upwards, the hook will come off due to the same flexure caused by the elasticity of the material.

In addition, in the above configuration, the protrusion 1 constituting the fulcrum holding part
The small holes 1c and 1d provided in a and 1b may be recessed portions instead of through holes, and the locking means for locking the lid portion is not limited to the position shown in FIG. It goes without saying that it may be placed on the edge of the In addition, in the above structure, one end of the lid 8 is pivotally attached to the box part 1, so there is no fear of powder on the lid or the operability is improved compared to a structure in which the lid can be simply removed from the box part. It has advantages such as excellence.

As explained above, according to the present invention, the box that houses the batteries is provided with both holding wings and a lid that can be opened and closed on one side and is also removable, so it is possible to hold the batteries even when the lid is removed. If the lid is attached, the battery can be held even more securely, so it can be used both with and without a lid, so it has the advantage of being highly versatile and economical, and its industrial value is great. . In particular, when the lid is closed, one of the retaining wings not only constitutes a part of the engagement means of the lid, but also presses the retaining wings inward, allowing the built-in battery to be held in a locked state, so to speak. For example, it has the advantage of being able to hold the battery stably even when vibrations are applied.
