## Abstract

A battery attaching/detaching structure includes: a guide part fixed to a vehicle and extended from a vehicle inside position to a vehicle outside position in an approximately horizontal direction; a mounting stand on which a battery for running the vehicle is placed, the mounting stand being configured to be guided by the guide part to move between the vehicle inside position and the vehicle outside position; a restraining part configured to restrain the battery at the mounting stand; and an operation cable configured to operate the restraining part to restrain the battery when the mounting stand is operated to move from the vehicle outside position to the vehicle inside position, and operate the restraining part to release restraint of the battery when the mounting stand is operated to move from the vehicle inside position to the vehicle outside position.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A battery attaching/detaching structure comprising:
a guide part fixed to a vehicle and extended from a vehicle inside position to a vehicle outside position in an approximately horizontal direction;
a mounting stand on which a battery for running the vehicle is placed, the mounting stand being configured to be guided by the guide part to move between the vehicle inside position and the vehicle outside position;
a restraining part configured to restrain the battery at the mounting stand; and
an operation cable configured to operate the restraining part to restrain the battery when the mounting stand is operated to move from the vehicle outside position to the vehicle inside position, and operate the restraining part to release restraint of the battery when the mounting stand is operated to move from the vehicle inside position to the vehicle outside position.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The battery attaching/detaching structure according to claim 1, further comprising an adjustment mechanism configured to adjust a length of the operation cable.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The battery attaching/detaching structure according to claim 1, wherein when the mounting stand is operated to move from the vehicle outside position to the vehicle inside position, the operation cable is deflected in a vehicle horizontal direction.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The battery attaching/detaching structure according to claim 1, wherein the restraining part is disposed at a position on a vehicle outside than a center position in a vehicle inner-and-outer direction in the mounting stand.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The battery attaching/detaching structure according to claim 1, wherein the restraining part is engaged with a striker fixed to the battery.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The battery attaching/detaching structure according to claim 1,
wherein the guide part includes a turning part,
wherein one end portion of the operation cable in a longitudinal direction is coupled with the guide part,
wherein another end portion of the operation cable in the longitudinal direction is coupled with the restraining part, and
wherein a center portion of the operation cable in the longitudinal direction is disposed so as to be wound at the turning part.
