Motor vehicle battery support
A battery support for a motor vehicle comprising a tray for receiving at least one battery, a device for holding the battery or batteries on the tray, the holding device comprising a flange on a threaded rod, and a device for clamping the flange on the battery or batteries, wherein the clamping device comprises a sleeve slidably mounted on the threaded rod and comprising a collar bearing on the flange, a nut mounted on the threaded rod and bearing on the collar of the sleeve, and the contact surfaces between the nut and the collar of the bushing comprises serrations.
1. A battery support for a motor vehicle comprising:
a tray for receiving at least one battery,
a holding device for holding the at least one battery on the tray, the holding device comprising:
at least one threaded rod, each threaded rod of the at least one threaded rod receiving a flange thereon, and
a clamping device for securing the flange on the at least one battery,
wherein the clamping device comprises:
a sleeve slidably mounted on the at least one threaded rod, and the sleeve comprising a collar that bears on the flange received on the at least one threaded rod, and
a nut mounted on the at least one threaded rod and bearing on the collar of the sleeve,
wherein contact surfaces between the nut and the collar of the sleeve comprise serrations.
2. The battery support of claim 1 , wherein contact surfaces between the collar and the flange comprise serrations.
3. The battery support of claim 2 , wherein the serrations are shaped as gear teeth and are formed by a flank inclined with respect to the contact surface and a flank substantially perpendicular to the contact surface.
4. The battery support of claim 3 , wherein an angle of an inclined plane of the serrations shaped as gear teeth is strictly greater than an angle of a thread of the at least one threaded rod.
5. The battery support of claim 1 , wherein the at least one threaded rod is mounted substantially perpendicular to a plate.
6. The battery support of claim 5 , wherein the flange received on the at least one threaded rod is substantially parallel to the plate.
7. The battery support of claim 1 , wherein the at least one threaded rod comprises a stop configured to engage the sleeve.
8. The battery support of claim 1 , wherein the tray comprises side walls.
9. The battery support of claim 1 , wherein a cross-section of the flange received on the at least one threaded rod is U-shaped.
10. The battery support of claim 1 , wherein the at least one threaded rod comprises two threaded rods collectively receiving two flanges, the battery support further comprising an anti-theft device ensuring connection and locking of the two flanges to the two threaded rods.
11. The battery support of claim 10 , wherein the anti-theft device comprises a bar, each end of the bar being mounted on a flange of the two flanges via the clamping device so that the collar of the sleeve rests on the bar.
12. The battery support of claim 11 , wherein the anti-theft device further comprises:
a rod, each end of the rod being mounted on the two threaded rods,
wherein the rod comprises a portion forming an arch, and
the bar comprises a slot arranged to receive the arch-shaped portion of the rod.
13. A motor vehicle including the battery support of claim 1 .
