  • Patent number: 9419263
    Abstract: A battery pack includes battery modules. The battery modules are arranged adjacent to each other in a vehicle anteroposterior direction in such a manner that a longitudinal direction of each battery module corresponds to a vehicle width direction. Bus bars for electrically connecting in series positive and negative electrode terminals of the adjacent battery modules include outer bus bars in an outer part in the vehicle width direction, and inner bus bars in a center part in the vehicle width direction. The outer bus bars are provided so as not to protrude from upper faces of the battery modules thereby to interconnect the electrode terminals of the adjacent battery modules, and the inner bus bars are provided so as to pass above the upper faces of the battery modules thereby to interconnect the electrode terminals of the adjacent battery modules.

  • Publication number: 20150147618
    Abstract: There is provided a battery case which is advantageous in enhancing durability of cables or connectors which are arranged inside and outside the battery case. When a motor-driven vehicle 10 comes into collision, in case where structural members such as an engine 14 or a fuel tank 16 existing adjacent to a battery case 40 are displaced so as to approach a tray 50, shorter outer peripheral edges 5602 are butted against these structural members, and shorter side walls 5802 are also butted against the structural members. Therefore, triangular spaces S are secured between the structural members and the tray 50. As the results, it is possible to prevent the structural members from exerting constrained forces on the cables or the connectors, and durability of the cables and connectors can be advantageously enhanced.

  • Patent number: 5787646
    Abstract: Location pins are fitted into a plurality of sets of reference holes so that an inner panel, a hinge panel and a belt-like reinforcement which make up an inner panel assembly of a door panel are positioned in all directions with respect to each other. In addition, the inner panel assembly and an outer panel are mutually positioned using location pins, so that the mutual positions of all of the components of a door panel are fixed with a high degree of accuracy to produce a door panel of a high quality. Fittings may then be accurately mounted across the components of the door panel. With this arrangement, a door of high quality is ensured with less labor and fewer positioning members.
