Abstract

PURPOSE: To provide a storage battery of small overall height capable of being lifted with the hook of a crane or the like by applying the constitution that a lifting piece can be horizontally collapsed and stored in a recess on cover top. CONSTITUTION: This storage battery has a cover 1 as well as a lifting piece 9, and the cover 1 has a recess 2 on the upper surface thereof. Furthermore, the lifting piece 9 is formed out of a vertical section 10 and a horizontal section 11 jointed to the lower end thereof. The recess 2 has a coupling section 12 on one side wall 2a for the engagement of the sections 10 and 11. The section 10 has an annular upper section and the lower section thereof is coupled to the section 12. Also, the section 11 is formed to be capable of turn in the section 12. In addition, the lifting piece 9 is housed in the recess 2. Thus, the lifting piece 9, when used, therefore, can be rotated and kept upright. Also, the piece 9, when not used, can be rotated and kept approximately horizontal. As a result, the height of the recess 2 can be made low. According to this construction, the height of the cover 1 becomes low and the overall height of the battery can be reduced.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage battery, and more particularly to a structure of a lid for carrying a storage battery.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Storage batteries come in various weights, from those that can be carried by hand to those that must be carried by a crane or the like. Among them, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the structure of the one that can be carried by a crane has a concave portion 2 formed in the upper surface of the lid 1 of the storage battery, and a projection protruding upward from the bottom surface 3 in the concave portion 2. The portion 4 was formed, and the protrusion 4 had the hole 5 penetrating the side surface. Then, a hook 6 of a crane or the like was inserted into the hole 5 and lifted up to be carried.

[0003]

In the storage battery having the structure described in the prior art, the thickness of the portion 4a to be lifted by the hook is increased in order to give the protrusion 4 strength, and 5 has a diameter in the longitudinal direction, is formed so that the hook can be smoothly inserted, and the projection 4 is formed so as not to project above the recess 2. Therefore, there is a problem that the total height of the storage battery becomes high. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the portion of the lid 1 where the protrusion 4 is formed, that is, the bottom wall 7 of the recess 2 is lowered,
A structure is proposed in which the upper edge 8a of the battery case 8 corresponding to this is recessed and the height of the projection 4 is absorbed by the battery case 8, but the welding work between the lid 1 and the battery case 8 is complicated. Therefore, the bottom wall 7 comes into contact with the upper part of the pole group in the battery case 8, and there is a problem that there is a limit to lowering the height.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a storage battery having a low total height which can be lifted by a hook such as a crane.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a storage battery having a lid 1 and a suspender 9, wherein the lid 1 has a recessed portion 2 on its upper surface. ,
The suspender 9 includes a vertical portion 10 and a horizontal portion 11 connected to a lower end of the vertical portion 10, and the recessed portion 2 has one side wall 2 a of the vertical portion 10 and the horizontal portion 11. The vertical portion 10 has an upper portion formed in an annular shape, and a lower portion is fitted into the fitting portion 12, and the horizontal portion 11 has a fitting portion 12. It is rotatable, and the suspender 9 is housed in the recess 2.

[0006]

When the suspending tool 9 is used, the suspending tool 9 can be rotated to be in a vertical state, and when not being used, the suspending tool 9 can be rotated to be in a substantially horizontal state. Can be lowered. Therefore, the height of the lid 1 is reduced, and the total height of the storage battery can be reduced.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a main part showing a storage battery of the present invention.
Is a lid, and a concave portion 2 is formed on the upper surface of the lid, and the hanging tool 9 is housed in the concave portion 2 so as not to project from the upper surface of the lid 1. The suspender 9 is made of metal and includes a vertical portion 10 and a horizontal portion 11. The upper portion of the vertical portion 10 is formed in an annular shape and the lower portion is rod-shaped. And the horizontal part 11
Has a cylindrical axis lying horizontally, and the lower end of the vertical portion 10 is connected to the substantially center thereof. On one side wall 2a of the recessed portion 2, there is a fitting portion 12 that is fitted when the rod-shaped portion of the vertical portion 10 is erected and in which the horizontal portion 11 is fitted. The horizontal portion 11 is rotatable by the fitting portion 12. Further, the opening 12a of the fitting portion 12
Protrusions 13 are formed on the upper and lower sides of the side wall 2a forming the above, so that once the horizontal portion 11 is fitted into the fitting portion 12, it cannot be easily pulled out.

Next, a method of using the storage battery having such a structure will be described. First, the hanging device 9 stored in the recess 2
Rotate, and as shown in the phantom line in FIG. 1 or in FIG.
The vertical portion 10 is erected. Then, the hook 6 is laterally hooked in the hole of the vertical portion 10 to suspend the storage battery. After finishing the work, remove the hook 6 from the vertical portion 10
Rotate and tilt it down into the recess 2 to store it.

[0009]

As described above, according to the present invention, the hanging device 9
Can be stowed in the lateral direction and stored in the recessed portion 2, so that the height of the recessed portion 2 can be reduced and a storage battery having a low total height can be provided.
