Description

Vorrichtung zur Befestigung eines Gehäuses, insbesondere das einer Kraftfahrzeug-Batterie, an einem Träger Device for fastening a housing, in particular that of a motor vehicle battery, to a carrier
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur Befestigung eines Gehäuses, insbesondere das einer Kraftfahrzeug-Batterie, auf einer Trägerplatte.The invention relates to a device for fastening a housing, in particular that of a motor vehicle battery, on a carrier plate.
Gehäuse von Kfz-Batterien haben eine im wesentlichen kubische Form. Sie stehen üblicherweise auf einer Trägerplatte, deren eines Ende federnd umgebogen ist und hinter eine Stufe an einer Seitenwand des Batteriegehäuses greift. Die entgegengesetzte Seitenwand des Gehäuses weist ebenfalls eine Stufe auf, und die Trägerplatte ragt auf dieser Seite über den Gehäuseboden hinaus. Zur Befestigung des Gehäuses auf der Trägerplatte wird das eine Ende einer S-förmig gebogenen Blattfeder als Befestigungsflansch auf dieser Stufe zur Auflage gebracht, während ihr anderes Ende auf der überstehenden Trägerplatte ruht. Eine durch den flachen Mittelteil der Blattfeder und durch den überstehenden Teil der Trägerplatte hindurchgehende Schraube wird mit einer Kontermutter gesichert. Diese Art der Befestigung ist umständlich, sie erfordert eine Reihe von Handgriffen und kann nur mit Hilfe eines Werkzeugs vorgenommen und, wenn z.B. ein Austausch der Batterie notwendig wird, wieder gelöst werden; der dafür notwendige Zeitaufwand ist erheblich und stellt auch einen Kostenfaktor dar. Ein weiteres Problem stellt das Recycling der Flansche und Schrauben nach den europäischen Richtlinien dar.Car battery housings have an essentially cubic shape. They usually stand on a carrier plate, one end of which is resiliently bent and engages behind a step on a side wall of the battery housing. The opposite side wall of the housing also has a step, and the carrier plate projects beyond the housing base on this side. To attach the housing to the carrier plate, one end of an S-shaped leaf spring is brought into contact as a fastening flange at this step, while the other end rests on the protruding carrier plate. A screw passing through the flat central part of the leaf spring and through the protruding part of the carrier plate is secured with a lock nut. This type of attachment is cumbersome, it requires a number of steps and can only be carried out with the help of a tool and, if e.g. an exchange of the battery is necessary to be solved again the time required for this is considerable and also represents a cost factor. Another problem is the recycling of the flanges and screws according to the European guidelines.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung zur Befestigung eines Gehäuses, insbesondere das einer Kfz-Batterie, an einer Trägerplatte zu schaffen, die es erlaubt das Gehäuse mit wenigen, einfachen Handgriffen und ohne Gebrauch eines Werkzeugs am Träger zu befestigen und ebenso einfach und schnell wieder zu lösen. Beim wiederholten Austausch des Gehäuses bzw. der Batterie sollen nach Möglichkeit keine Schrottteile anfallen.The object of the invention is to provide a device for fastening a housing, in particular that of a motor vehicle battery, to a carrier plate, which allows the housing to be fastened to the carrier in a few simple steps and without the use of a tool, and just as easily and quickly to solve again. When replacing the housing or the battery, no scrap parts should be created if possible.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dies dadurch erreicht, dass ein federnd gebogenes Befestigungsteil unter Spannung zwischen die Wand des auf der Trägerplatte plazierten Gehäuses und einen von der Trägerplatte senkrecht hochragenden Halterand eingeschoben ist. Dies kann mit einfachsten Handgriffen und ohne Zuhilfenahme eines Werkzeugs geschehen. Die spreizende Wirkung, die das unter Spannung stehende Befestigungsteil auf das Gehäuse und den Halterand der Trägerplatte ausübt, hält das Gehäuse auf der Trägerplatte.According to the invention, this is achieved in that a resiliently bent fastening part is placed under tension between the wall of the one on the carrier plate Housing and a holding edge protruding vertically from the support plate is inserted. This can be done with the simplest of movements and without the aid of a tool. The spreading effect that the live fastener exerts on the housing and the retaining edge of the carrier plate holds the housing on the carrier plate.
Das Befestigungsteil ist vorzugsweise aus einem federnden Material U-förmig gebogen. Nach dem Einschieben des Befestigungsteils zwischen die Gehäusewand und den Halterand der Trägerplatte liegen der eine U-Schenkel am Halterand und der zweite U-Schenkel an der Gehäusewand unter spreizender Spannung an.The fastening part is preferably bent from a resilient material in a U-shape. After the fastening part has been inserted between the housing wall and the holding edge of the carrier plate, one U-leg rests against the holding edge and the second U-leg rests against the housing wall under spreading tension.
Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist der Halterand eine abgeschrägte Innenfläche auf, so dass er sich nach oben keilförmig verjüngt. Das freie Ende des am Halterand zur Anlage kommenden, ersten U-Schenkels ist entsprechend komplementär zur Keilform des Halterandes keilförmig nach innen umgebogen und der zweite, der Gehäusewand zugewandte U-Schenkel trägt an seinem freien Ende ein über das keilförmig gebogene Ende des ersten U-Schenkels hinausragendes, hakenförmiges Teil, das durch eine Öffnung in der Trägerplatte hindurch unter der Trägerplatte in Eingriff bringbar ist. Durch die komplementär keilförmige Ausbildung des Halterands und des Endes des an ihm zur Anlage kommenden U-Schenkels wird einerseits das Einführen des Befestigungsteils zwischen Halterand und Gehäusewand erleichtert, und andererseits gewährleisten sie zusammen mit dem das Gehäuse untergreifenden, hakenförmigen Teil einen sicheren Sitz des Befestigungsteils in seiner Endstellung und eine gute Halte- und hohe Spreizwirkung, also eine sichere Halterung des Gehäuses auf der Trägerplatte.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the holding edge has a bevelled inner surface, so that it tapers upwards in a wedge shape. The free end of the first U-leg coming into contact with the holding edge is bent inwards in a wedge shape in a complementary manner to the wedge shape of the holding edge and the second U-leg facing the housing wall carries at its free end a wedge-shaped end of the first U- Leg protruding, hook-shaped part which can be brought into engagement through an opening in the carrier plate under the carrier plate. Due to the complementary wedge-shaped design of the holding edge and the end of the U-leg coming into contact with it, the insertion of the fastening part between the holding edge and the housing wall is facilitated, on the one hand, and on the other hand, together with the hook-shaped part under the housing, they ensure a secure fit of the fastening part in its end position and a good holding and high spreading effect, i.e. a secure mounting of the housing on the carrier plate.
Im Endbereich des zweiten U-Schenkels kann eine Verdickung mit einer Abschrägung ausgebildet sein, wobei diese Abschrägung dann beim Einschieben des Befestigungsteils zwischen Gehäusewand und Halterand auf der abgeschrägten Fläche einer an der Gehäusewand ausgebildeten Stufe zur Auflage kommt. Auch dies trägt zu einem festen und sicheren Sitz des Befestigungsteils in seiner Endstellung bei. Am Ende des keilförmig zulaufenden Halterandes ist vorzugsweise eine waagrechte Auflagefläche ausgebildet und ebenso ist dann auch am keilförmig nach innen gebogenen Ende des ersten U-Schenkels eine waagrechte Stoßfläche ausgebildet, die auf der Auflagefläche des Halterandes zur Auflage gebracht werden kann. Dies ist hilfreich beim Einschieben des Befestigungsteils zwischen Halterand und Gehäusewand. Das Befestigungsteil wird zunächst in eine Stellung zwischen Halterand und Gehäusewand gebracht, in der die Stoßfläche des ersten U- Schenkels auf der Auflagefläche des Halterandes aufliegt und das hakenförmige Teil bereits durch eine dafür vorgesehene Öffnung in der Trägerplatte hindurchragt, aber das Gehäuse noch nicht untergreift. Danach wird das Befestigungsteil in seine klemmende Endstellung gebracht, wobei die Keilfläche des U-Schenkels auf der des Halterandes gleitet und so eine Bewegungskomponente erzeugt wird, durch die das hakenförmige Teil unter dem Gehäuse zum Eingriff kommt. Diese Bewegung bewirkt gleichzeitig eine Spannung des U-förmigen Befestigungteils.A thickening with a bevel can be formed in the end region of the second U-leg, this bevel then coming to rest on the bevelled surface of a step formed on the housing wall when the fastening part is inserted between the housing wall and the holding edge. This also contributes to a firm and secure fit of the fastening part in its end position. A horizontal support surface is preferably formed at the end of the wedge-shaped tapering edge, and a horizontal abutment surface is then also formed on the wedge-shaped inward end of the first U-leg, which can be brought to rest on the support surface of the support edge. This is helpful when inserting the fastening part between the holding edge and the housing wall. The fastening part is first brought into a position between the holding edge and the housing wall, in which the abutment surface of the first U-leg rests on the bearing surface of the holding edge and the hook-shaped part already protrudes through an opening provided in the carrier plate, but does not yet engage under the housing. The fastening part is then brought into its clamping end position, the wedge surface of the U-leg sliding on that of the holding edge and thus generating a movement component through which the hook-shaped part engages under the housing. This movement simultaneously causes tension in the U-shaped fastening part.
Der innen liegende Abschnitt des keilförmig gebogenen Endes des ersten U- Schenkels verläuft vorzugsweise vertikal. Am Ende des vertikalen Abschnitts ist eine Rastnase 17 vorgesehen, die mit einer am zweiten, gegenüberliegenden U- Schenkel des Befestigungsteils angeordneten Sägezahnung in der Endstellung des Befestigungsteils in Eingriff kommt. Ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen des Befestigungsteils aus seiner klemmenden Endstellung kann so verhindert und die Halterung zusätzlich gesichert werden.The inner portion of the wedge-shaped end of the first U-leg preferably runs vertically. At the end of the vertical section, a locking lug 17 is provided, which comes into engagement with a sawtooth arranged on the second, opposite U-leg of the fastening part in the end position of the fastening part. An unintentional loosening of the fastening part from its clamping end position can thus be prevented and the holder additionally secured.
Wenn das Gehäuse von der Trägerplatte entnommen werden soll, z.B. bei einem notwendigen Austausch einer Kfz-Batterie, soll sich die Halterung ebenso schnell und mit ebenso einfachen Handgriffen wieder lösen lassen. Dazu ist am Ende des innen liegenden, vertikalen Abschnitts des keilförmig gebogenen Endes des ersten U-Schenkels eine abgewinkelte, elastisch auffederbare Lasche vorgesehen, mit der sich dieser vertikale Abschnitt so bewegen lässt, dass dessen Rastnase aus dem Eingriff mit der Sägezahnung am zweiten U-Schenkel gelöst wird und der erste U-Schenkel, indem sich die Spannung des U-förmigen Befestigungsteils löst, in die Zwischenstellung zurückkehrt, in der seine Stoßfläche auf der Auflagefläche des Halterandes aufliegt. Dabei löst sich auch das hakenförmige Teil aus dem Eingriff unter dem Gehäuse, und das Befestigungsteil kann bequem herausgezogen und danach wieder verwendet werden.If the housing is to be removed from the carrier plate, for example when a motor vehicle battery needs to be replaced, the holder should be able to be removed again just as quickly and with just as simple steps. For this purpose, an angled, elastically spring-loaded tab is provided at the end of the inner, vertical section of the wedge-shaped bent end of the first U-leg, with which this vertical section can be moved in such a way that its latching lug from engagement with the sawtooth on the second U- Leg is released and the first U-leg, by releasing the tension of the U-shaped fastening part, returns to the intermediate position in which its abutting surface rests on the contact surface of the holding edge. The hook-shaped part also comes loose from the Engagement under the housing, and the fastener can be easily pulled out and used again.
Das Ende des zweiten U-Schenkels kann durch eine innenliegende, langgezogene Öse versteift sein und an dieser Öse dann das hakenförmige Teil befestigt sein.The end of the second U-leg can be stiffened by an internal, elongated eyelet and the hook-shaped part can then be attached to this eyelet.
Das hakenförmige Teil ist bevorzugt doppelwandig ausgebildet und im Innern durch Trennwände in Kammern unterteilt. Es wird dadurch formstabiler und mechanisch belastbarer und in seiner Wirkung verbessert.The hook-shaped part is preferably double-walled and divided into compartments inside by partitions. This makes it more dimensionally stable and mechanically resilient, and its effect is improved.

Durch einen sich in Verlängerung des Halterandes 4 in entgegengesetzter Richtung erstreckenden Rand 8 entsteht unterhalb der Halteplatte 3 ein Raum 9, in den das hakenförmige Teil 27 dann hineinragen kann.In Fig. 1, part of the housing 1 of a motor vehicle battery is schematically shown, which, as is known per se, has a step 2 laterally above its bottom, which is preferably designed to be slightly sloping. It stands on a carrier plate 3 which projects beyond the housing 1 on this side and is shown in section in the drawing. The carrier plate 3 has a vertically upstanding holding edge 4, which is preferably formed in one piece on the carrier plate 3, but can also be otherwise firmly connected to it. The holding edge 4 holds a fixed distance on this side from the battery placed on the carrier plate 3. The inner surface 5 of the holding edge 4 facing the battery is chamfered, so that the holding edge 4 tapers in section, as shown, towards a horizontal support surface 6 formed on its free edge. In its area protruding beyond the housing 1, an opening 7, which extends in the illustrated sectional view between the holding edge 4 and the housing wall, is provided in the carrier plate 4 and is dimensioned such that a fastening part 10, which is described in more detail below, hook-shaped part 27 fits through. By an edge 8 extending in the extension of the holding edge 4 in the opposite direction, a space 9 is created below the holding plate 3, into which the hook-shaped part 27 can then protrude.
Das Befestigungsteil 10 besteht (siehe Fig. 4) zunächst aus einem U-förmig gebogenen Materialstreifen aus einem federnden Werkstoff. Der eine (erste) U-Schenkel 11 ist an seinem Ende komplementär zur Keilform des Halterandes 4 keilförmig ab und nach innen umgebogen, so dass hier eine am Befestigungsteil 10 außen liegende Schräge 12, eine waagrechte Stoßfläche 13 und ein vertikal in den U-Bogen 14 gerichteter Abschnitt 15 entstehen. Am Ende des vertikalen Abschnitts 15 ist eine abgewinkelte, elastisch auffederbare Lasche 16 angeformt, die am oberen Ende der geradlinigen Verlängerung des vertikalen Abschnitts 15 eine zum gegenüberliegenden Schenkel 18 weisende Rastnase 17 aufweist.The fastening part 10 consists (see FIG. 4) first of all of a U-shaped material strip made of a resilient material. The one (first) U-leg 11 is at its end complementary to the wedge shape of the retaining edge 4 and bent inwards and outwards, so that here a bevel 12 on the outside of the fastening part 10, a horizontal abutment surface 13 and one vertically in the U-bend 14 directed section 15 arise. At the end of the vertical section 15, an angled, elastically spring-loaded tab 16 is formed, which at the upper end of the straight extension of the vertical section 15 has a locking lug 17 facing the opposite leg 18.
Der zweite U-Schenkel 18 des Befestigungsteils 10 ist an seinem freien Ende zweimal rechtwinklig abgebogen, so dass eine in den U-Bogen 14 gewandte, langgezogene, rechteckige Öse 19 entsteht. Die Außenwand der Öse 19 geht an ihrem Ende über eine Anschrägung 20 in eine leichte Verdickung 21 über, von der eine Abschrägung 22 übergeht in die waagrechte Schmalseite 23 der Öse 19. Die dem U-Bogen 14 des Befestigungsgliedes 10 zugewandte Schmalseite der Öse 19 wird durch einen Quersteg 24 abgeschlossen, von dem sich im rechten Winkel und im Abstand zur Öse 19 eine Wand 25 erstreckt, deren Außenfläche mit einer vertikal verlaufenden Sägezahnung 26 versehen ist, die dem vertikalen AbschnittThe second U-leg 18 of the fastening part 10 is bent twice at right angles at its free end, so that an elongated, rectangular eyelet 19 is turned into the U-arm 14. The outer wall of the eyelet 19 merges at its end with a bevel 20 into a slight thickening 21, from which a bevel 22 merges into the horizontal narrow side 23 of the eyelet 19. The narrow side of the eyelet 19 facing the U-bend 14 of the fastening member 10 becomes completed by a crosspiece 24, from which extends at right angles and at a distance from the eyelet 19 a wall 25, the outer surface of which is provided with a vertical sawtooth 26 which corresponds to the vertical section
15 des ersten U-Schenkels 11 und dessen geradliniger Verlängerung der Lasche15 of the first U-leg 11 and its straight extension of the tab
16 gegenübersteht.16 faces.
Unterhalb der Schmalseite 23 der Öse 19 etwa gegenüber dem freien Ende des zweiten U-Schenkels 18 geht die Wand 25 über in ein nach außen weisendes, hakenförmiges Teil 27, das den ersten U-Schenkel 11 nach unten überragt. Nach der dargestellten Ausführungsform ist dieser Haken 27 doppelwandig hohl ausgebildet und zur Versteifung im Innern durch Trennwände in Kammern 28 unterteilt. In der dargestellten Seitenansicht sind es drei Kammern 28, die im rechten Winkel angeordnet sind. Mit der Schmalseite 23 der Öse 19 ist die Außenwand der einen Kammer 28 fest verbunden.Below the narrow side 23 of the eyelet 19, approximately opposite the free end of the second U-leg 18, the wall 25 merges into an outwardly facing, hook-shaped part 27, which projects downwards over the first U-leg 11. According to the illustrated embodiment, this hook 27 has a double-walled hollow design and is divided into chambers 28 by internal dividing walls for stiffening. In the side view shown, there are three chambers 28 which are in the are arranged at right angles. With the narrow side 23 of the eyelet 19, the outer wall of one chamber 28 is firmly connected.
In den Figuren 1 bis 3 ist am Beispiel einer Kraftfahrzeug-Batterie gezeigt, wie diese mit Hilfe des Befestigungsteils 10 auf einer Trägerplatte 3 zu fixieren ist. Dabei sind das Batteriegehäuse 1 und die Trägerplatte 3 nur als Anschnitt in der Weise wiedergegeben, dass die Seite zu sehen ist, wo das Befestigungsteil 10 zum Einsatz kommt.In the figures 1 to 3, the example of a motor vehicle battery shows how this is to be fixed on a carrier plate 3 with the aid of the fastening part 10. The battery housing 1 and the carrier plate 3 are only shown as a cut in such a way that the side can be seen where the fastening part 10 is used.
In Fig. 1 ist das Befestigungsteil 10 noch in völlig entspanntem Zustand zu Beginn des Fixiervorgangs wiedergegeben, wobei das Batteriegehäuse 1 bereits so auf die Trägerplatte 3 aufgestellt ist, dass es samt seiner Stufe 2 auf der dargestellten Seite die Öffnung 7 in der Trägerplatte 3 freilässt und einen Abstand zum Halterand 4 hält, der gerade ein Vorbeigleiten des am Befestigungsteil 10 ausgebildeten hakenförmigen Teils 27 zulässt, wenn dieses, wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt, durch die Öffnung 7 hindurchgeführt werden soll. Auf der nicht dargestellten Seite des Gehäuses 1 sollte sich dieses in Anlage an einem dort ebenfalls ausgebildeten Halterand der Trägerplatte 3 befinden. Das Befestigungsteil 10 wird also in eine Stellung gebracht, in der sein zweiter U-Schenkel 18 und der daran befestigte Haken 27 dem Batteriegehäuse 1 zugewandt sind. Der Haken 27 wird zwischen das Batteriegehäuse 1 und den Halterand 4 der Trägerplatte 3 gebracht und das Befestigungsteil 10 in immer noch entspanntem Zustand abgesenkt, bis die an dem keilförmig abgebogenen Ende des ersten U-Schenkels 11 ausgebildete Stoßfläche 13 auf der Auflagefläche 6 des Halterandes 4 aufstößt.1, the fastening part 10 is shown in a completely relaxed state at the beginning of the fixing process, the battery housing 1 having already been set up on the carrier plate 3 in such a way that, together with its step 2 on the side shown, it leaves the opening 7 in the carrier plate 3 free and maintains a distance from the holding edge 4, which just allows the hook-shaped part 27 formed on the fastening part 10 to slide past when it is to be passed through the opening 7, as shown in FIG. 2. On the side of the housing 1, not shown, it should be in contact with a support edge of the support plate 3, which is also formed there. The fastening part 10 is thus brought into a position in which its second U-leg 18 and the hook 27 fastened thereon face the battery housing 1. The hook 27 is placed between the battery housing 1 and the holding edge 4 of the carrier plate 3 and the fastening part 10 is lowered in a still relaxed state until the abutment surface 13 formed on the wedge-shaped bent end of the first U-leg 11 on the contact surface 6 of the holding edge 4 regurgitates.
Nun kann das Befestigungsteil 10 gespannt werden, indem der zweite U-Schenkel 18 weiter nach unten bewegt wird, bis sein Haken 27 durch die Öffnung 7 der Trägerplatte 3 hindurch bis in den Raum 9 ragt. Anschließend wird das Befestigungsteil 10 als Ganzes so auf das Batteriegehäuse 1 zu bewegt, dass der Haken 27 unter die Trägerplatte 3 greift, die an der Verdickung 21 des zweiten U- Schenkels 18 ausgebildete Abschrägung 22 auf der abgeschrägten Stufe 2 des Batteriegehäuses 1 aufliegt und der erste U-Schenkel 11 mit seiner Stoßfläche 13 von der Auflagefläche 6 des Halterandes 4 gleitet. Nun kann auch der erste U- Schenkel 11 , das Befestigungsteil 10 weiter spannend, nach unten gedrückt werden; sein keilförmig abgebogenes Ende kann mit seiner außen liegenden Schräge 12 an der komplementär abgeschrägten Innenfläche 5 des Halterandes 4 entlang abwärts gleiten, bis am Befestigungsglied 10 eine Klemmwirkung zwischen dem Gehäuse 1 und dem Halterand 4 entsteht. Dabei kommt auch die Rastnase 17 am vertikalen Abschnitt 15 des umgebogenen Endes des ersten U- Schenkels 11 mit der innen liegenden Sägezahnung 26 am zweiten U-Schenkel 18 in Eingriff, so dass das Befestigungsteil 10 in dieser gespannten und klemmenden Stellung arretiert wird und sich nicht selbsttätig lösen kann. Die Klemmwirkung wird durch die doppelwandige und in Kammern 28 unterteilte Ausbildung des hakenförmigen Teils 27 zusammen mit dem federnd umgebogenen Ende des ersten U-Schenkels 11 wirkungsvoll begünstigt.Now the fastening part 10 can be tensioned by moving the second U-leg 18 further down until its hook 27 projects through the opening 7 of the carrier plate 3 into the space 9. Subsequently, the fastening part 10 is moved as a whole towards the battery housing 1 in such a way that the hook 27 engages under the carrier plate 3, the bevel 22 formed on the thickening 21 of the second U-leg 18 rests on the beveled step 2 of the battery housing 1 and the first U-leg 11 slides with its abutment surface 13 from the support surface 6 of the holding edge 4. Now the first U-leg 11, the fastening part 10, can be pushed further downwards become; its wedge-shaped bent end can slide with its outer bevel 12 downwards along the complementary beveled inner surface 5 of the holding edge 4 until a clamping effect between the housing 1 and the holding edge 4 arises on the fastening member 10. The locking lug 17 on the vertical section 15 of the bent end of the first U-leg 11 also comes into engagement with the internal serration 26 on the second U-leg 18, so that the fastening part 10 is locked in this tensioned and clamping position and is not locked can solve automatically. The clamping effect is effectively promoted by the double-walled design of the hook-shaped part 27 divided into chambers 28 together with the resiliently bent end of the first U-leg 11.
Das Gehäuse 1 lässt sich also mit Hilfe des Befestigungsteils 10 mit wenigen einfachen Handgriffen und ohne Zuhilfenahme eines Werkzeugs auf der Trägerplatte 3 schnell und sehr sicher befestigen. Soll das Gehäuse 1 - etwa beim Austausch einer Kfz-Batterie - entnommen werden, so kann dieses auf ebenso einfache Weise aus der Klemmhalterung gelöst werden. Dazu wird die am nach innen gebogenen Ende des ersten U-Schenkels 11 abgewinkelte Lasche 16 so bewegt, dass sich die Rastnase 17 aus dem Eingriff mit der Sägezahnung 26 am zweiten U-Schenkel 18 löst. Danach kann sich auch die Spannung des U-förmigen Befestigungsteils 10 lösen und der erste U-Schenkel 11 nach oben bewegt werden, wobei die Schräge 12 seines keilförmig gebogenen Endes wieder an der komplementären Innenfläche 5 des Halterandes 4 entlang gleitet, so daß die Klemmwirkung des Befestigungsteiles 10 aufgehoben wird und das Befestigungsteil 10 und danach auch das Gehäuse 1 entnommen werden können. The housing 1 can thus be fastened very quickly and very securely to the carrier plate 3 with the aid of the fastening part 10 with a few simple steps and without the aid of a tool. If the housing 1 is to be removed, for example when replacing a motor vehicle battery, it can be detached from the clamp holder in an equally simple manner. For this purpose, the tab 16, which is angled at the inwardly bent end of the first U-leg 11, is moved in such a way that the locking lug 17 is released from the engagement with the sawtooth 26 on the second U-leg 18. Then the tension of the U-shaped fastening part 10 can also be released and the first U-leg 11 can be moved upwards, the bevel 12 of its wedge-shaped curved end sliding again along the complementary inner surface 5 of the holding edge 4, so that the clamping effect of the Fastening part 10 is lifted and the fastening part 10 and then the housing 1 can be removed.
