Abstract
Provided are a tray for a secondary battery, which is environmentally friendly and can reduce the manufacturing cost while improving formability of the tray, and a jig for forming the tray. The tray includes a series of receiving spaces for receiving a series of cylindrical secondary batteries, and a flange portion at an outer part of the receiving space. Each receiving space includes a bottom surface configured to support one cylindrical secondary battery, a series of fixing ribs protruding upwardly from the bottom surface, and a series of bridges protruding upwardly from the bottom surface. The fixing ribs are spaced apart from each other and spaced around an outer portion of the bottom surface. Each bridge of the series of bridges connects adjacent fixing ribs.
