  • Patent number: 9662965
    Abstract: A system is provided for locking and/or unlocking an object, such as a power battery of a drive engine of an electric or hybrid motor vehicle, under a structure such as a chassis of the vehicle, including a plurality of locks ensuring the attachment of the object under the structure. The locks are secured to the object and/or structure and each include a hook configured for drawing the object to the structure by compressing an elastically deformable member inserted between the object and the structure and for supporting the object relative to the structure at the end of the approximation travel, as well as a transmission device driving the hook during the drawing travel and configured such as to be actuated by an actuation tool that is separate from the structure and the object.

  • Patent number: 9409470
    Abstract: An arrangement for a motor vehicle including a mechanism for holding an energy storage device, and associated vehicle. The arrangement includes a chassis, an electrical energy storage device, a fixing device for fixing the energy storage device to the chassis of the vehicle, a holding mechanism configured to switch, in case of a breakage of at least a portion of the fixing device, from a passive configuration in which it does not support the energy storage device to an active configuration in which it supports the energy storage device in such a way to hold the energy storage device close to the chassis.
