Description

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a bus bar for battery use;

FIG. 2 is a front elevational view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a plan view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a left side elevational view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along the line 55 in FIG. 2; and,

FIG. 6 is a reference view that illustrates a state of use.

A rear view is symmetrical to the front view. A bottom view is the same as the plan view. A right side elevational view is the same as the left side elevational view. Therefore, the rear view, the bottom view, and the right side elevational view are not included in the accompanying drawings.

The article to which the design is applied is used for a battery (assembled battery) that is made up of a plurality of battery cells combined for mounting in, for example, an electric motorcar, a hybrid car, or the like, and particularly used for providing serial connection between a connection terminal of a battery cell and another connection terminal of another battery cell.

The broken lines shown in the drawings are included for the purpose of illustrating environmental structure and form no part of the claimed design.

Claims
