Abstract

An external power feeding apparatus is portable and mountable in a vehicle, incorporating a power supply unit, and capable of supplying power to outside. A pair of frameworks is arranged on both sides of the power supply unit to face each other at a predetermined interval and formed into a substantially rectangular frame shape. A first connecting member connects first sides of the pair of frameworks and is formed into a substantial U shape. A second connecting member connects second sides of the pair of frameworks, which are provided to intersect one end sides of the first sides and is formed into a substantial U shape. A third connecting member connects third sides of the pair of frameworks, which are provided to intersect other end sides of the first sides and is formed into a substantial U shape.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An external power feeding apparatus configured to be portable and mountable in a vehicle, incorporating a power supply unit, and capable of supplying power from the power supply unit to outside, comprising:
a pair of frameworks arranged on both sides of the power supply unit to face each other at a predetermined interval and formed into a substantially rectangular frame shape;
a first connecting member configured to connect first sides of the pair of frameworks and formed into a substantial U shape;
a second connecting member configured to connect second sides of the pair of frameworks, which are provided to intersect one end sides of the first sides and formed into a substantial U shape;
a third connecting member configured to connect third sides of the pair of frameworks, which are provided to intersect other end sides of the first sides and formed into a substantial U shape;
a pair of axle shafts individually provided on the pair of frameworks; and
a pair of wheels for movement individually supported by the pair of axle shafts.

2. An external power feeding apparatus configured to be portable and mountable in a vehicle, incorporating a power supply unit, and capable of supplying power from the power supply unit to outside, comprising:
a pair of frameworks arranged on both sides of the power supply unit to face each other at a predetermined interval and formed into a substantially rectangular frame shape;
a first connecting member configured to connect first sides of the pair of frameworks and formed into a substantial U shape;
a second connecting member configured to connect second sides of the pair of frameworks, which are provided to intersect one end sides of the first sides and formed into a substantial U shape;
a third connecting member configured to connect third sides of the pair of frameworks, which are provided to intersect other end sides of the first sides and formed into a substantial U shape;
fourth sides configured to connect the second sides and the third sides of the pair of frameworks and face the first sides; and
a connecting panel configured to connect the fourth sides and including a bent portion between the fourth sides.

3. The apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising:
one support frame extending from one of the fourth sides toward another of the fourth sides;
another support frame extending from the another of the fourth sides toward the one of the fourth sides; and
a support portion configured to mount the another support frame and the one support frame on the power supply unit to be movable by an impact load.
