Abstract
A battery holder for securing a battery to a vehicle and for mechanically isolating the battery from the vehicle is provided. The battery holder includes a vehicle mounting plate, a battery containment plate, and a number of shock absorbing elements. The battery containment plate includes a number of open-topped cells for retaining leaking battery liquid therein. The shock absorbing elements prevent vibrations and shocks from being transferred from the vehicle to the battery.
Claims19
A battery holder for securing and mechanically isolating a battery from a vehicle, the battery holder comprising:
- a vehicle mounting plate for securing the battery holder to the vehicle;
- a battery containment plate for supporting the battery thereon;
- a battery securement component for retaining the battery on the battery containment plate;
- and
- a plurality of shock absorbing elements positioned between the vehicle mounting plate and the battery containment plate, wherein each shock absorbing component includes a lower connecting portion for connecting the shock absorbing component to the vehicle mounting plate, an upper connecting portion for connecting the shock absorbing component to the battery containment plate, and a shock absorption portion extending between the lower connecting portion and the upper connecting portion for absorbing vibrations and shocks received from the vehicle, wherein the lower connecting portion and the upper connecting portion do not touch so as to at least partially mechanically isolate the battery containment plate and the battery from the vehicle mounting plate and the vehicle.
A battery holder for securing and mechanically isolating a battery from a vehicle, the battery holder comprising:
- a vehicle mounting plate for securing the battery holder to the vehicle, the vehicle mounting plate including a plurality of holes for receiving fasteners therethrough;
- a battery containment plate for supporting the battery thereon, the battery containment plate comprising:
- an upper surface having a plurality of open-topped cells for retaining any spilled battery liquid therein;
- a lip for retaining a bottom portion of the battery on the upper surface;
- and
- a battery securement component guide;
- a number of spacers for restricting horizontal movement of the battery, the spacers each including one or more protrusions configured to be inserted into one or more selected open-topped cells depending on the battery size;
- a battery securement component for retaining the battery in the battery holder, the battery securement component guide being configured to keep the battery securement component aligned on the battery and the battery containment plate;
- and
- a plurality of shock absorbing elements positioned between the vehicle mounting plate and the lower battery containment plate, wherein each shock absorbing component includes a lower connecting portion for connecting the shock absorbing component to the vehicle mounting plate, an upper connecting portion for connecting the shock absorbing component to the battery containment plate, and a shock absorption portion extending between the lower connecting portion and the upper connecting portion for absorbing vibrations and shocks received from the vehicle, wherein the lower connecting portion and the upper connecting portion do not touch so as to at least partially mechanically isolate the battery from the vehicle.
A battery holder for securing and mechanically isolating a battery from a vehicle, the battery holder comprising:
- a battery containment plate for supporting the battery thereon;
- a securement component for retaining the battery in the battery holder;
- and
- a plurality of shock absorbing elements attached to the battery containment plate, wherein each shock absorbing component includes a lower connecting portion for connecting the shock absorbing component to the vehicle, an upper connecting portion for connecting the shock absorbing component to the battery containment plate, and a shock absorption portion extending between the lower connecting portion and the upper connecting portion for absorbing vibrations and shocks received from the vehicle, wherein the lower connecting portion and the upper connecting portion do not touch as to at least partially mechanically isolate the battery from the vehicle.
