Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A support device of a vehicle battery pack of a vehicle. The vehicle battery pack includes a first battery accommodating portion disposed in a first space of the vehicle and a second battery accommodating portion, where the second battery accommodating portion is greater in a vehicle-widthwise dimension than the first battery accommodating portion, where the second battery accommodating portion is connected to the first battery accommodating portion, where the second battery accommodating portion is disposed in a second space, and where the second space is below the first space in a vehicle-heightwise dimension. A frame-side bracket is disposed at a vehicle-widthwise outer surface of a web of a side rail of a ladder frame of the vehicle and projects outward in a vehicle-widthwise direction and a connecting member elastically connects the second battery accommodating portion to the frame-side bracket to suspend the vehicle battery pack to the ladder frame.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A support device of a vehicle battery pack of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle battery pack includes a first battery accommodating portion disposed in a first space of the vehicle and a second battery accommodating portion, wherein the second battery accommodating portion is greater in a vehicle-widthwise dimension than the first battery accommodating portion, wherein the second battery accommodating portion is connected to the first battery accommodating portion, wherein the second battery accommodating portion is disposed in a second space, and wherein the second space is below the first space in a vehicle-heightwise dimension, comprising: a frame-side bracket disposed at a vehicle-widthwise outer surface of a web of a side rail of a ladder frame of the vehicle and projecting outward in a vehicle-widthwise direction; and a connecting member elastically connecting the second battery accommodating portion to the frame-side bracket to suspend the vehicle battery pack to the ladder frame. 2. The support device according to claim 1 further comprising a battery-side bracket disposed at a vehicle-widthwise outer surface of the second battery accommodating portion and projecting outward in the vehicle-widthwise direction. 3. The support device according to claim 2 , wherein the battery-side bracket is disposed such that a weld included in a housing composed of the first and the second battery accommodating portions is avoided. 4. The support device according to claim 3 , wherein the battery-side bracket is disposed at a location away from a vehicle-longitudinal end of the housing. 5. The support device according to claim 1 , wherein the frame-side bracket is connected to the web of the side rail with an adjustment plate interposed between the frame-side bracket and the web.
