Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the cost by forming a retainer member having flexible arms as one body with a battery box structural member. CONSTITUTION:A retainer member 12, which is made by arranging two mutually symmetrical arms 12A and 12B to hold a thing between them, is formed with a battery lid 2 as one body. When a battery 8 is put in place, a space between the arms 12A and 12B is expanded by the force of springs of these two arms, and the battery 8 is retained by the force of these springs. As for such a retainer member as this one 12, at least one is needed for one battery 8 in the longitudinal direction, and, for example, when N batteries 8 are needed as a unit, N retainer members 12 are arranged in the positions well balanced.

However, when a battery with a small diameter is installed in a battery box formed in this way, a gap is created between the battery box and the storage compartment, making it easy for the battery to roll in the radial direction. The unit may come into contact with the surrounding walls and generate abnormal noise. Therefore, in the past, an elastic material such as a sponge was attached to the lid of the box that houses the battery to absorb the rattling and provide a cushioning effect.

Figure 1 shows an example of such a conventional battery holding device, where 1 is the main body of the battery box of the device, and 2 is the box lid. The box lid 2 is formed with a locking pawl 4 that engages with a device case 3 at one end, and a spring member 6 for attachment and detachment having a locking pawl 5 at the other end. 7 is a rib attached to M2, and the side of the rib 7 where the battery 8 is housed is formed into an arc 7A corresponding to the battery 8 with the largest diameter, taking into consideration the dimensional error in the diameter of the battery 8. has been done. Furthermore, 9 is a sponge attached to the back side of the lid 2 where the ribs 7 are provided.

Note that the circle indicated by the solid line here is the assumed maximum diameter of the battery 8, and the circle indicated by the dashed-dotted line is, for example, the assumed minimum diameter. Therefore, if the battery 8 having the minimum diameter is loaded into the box body 1, a gap C will be created between the rib 7 and the battery 8, but the sponge 9 will be elastically deformed as shown in the figure. The battery 8 is elastically supported within the box 1 so as not to move.

Further, in the battery holding device configured as described above, when taking out the battery 8, the locking pawl 5 is released from the engagement portion of the case 3 by pressing the side surface of the spring member 6 in the direction of the arrow. Then, by further pulling up the spring member 6, the lid 2 can be removed from the battery box 1.

However, in the conventional battery holding device configured in this way, separate material parts such as the sponge 9 must be prepared, and work such as attaching the sponge 9 to the lid 2 is required. It takes time and effort.

An object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and to provide a flexible holding arm that can be formed integrally with the lid constituting the box, so that the battery can be elastically supported between the holding arm and the box. An object of the present invention is to provide a battery holding device that can be obtained at a low price.

As described above, according to the present invention, a holding member having flexible arms is integrally molded with the box forming member, and the holding member arms are attached to the battery box. Since the battery is elastically supported within the box, there is no need to install a separate special elastic body to prevent the battery from moving within the box, which improves work efficiency and reduces costs. This makes it possible to reduce the cost of the main body device having the battery box.
