Abstract

An assembly for securing a vehicle battery on a body of a motor vehicle, includes a securing device releasably secured on a body part of the vehicle body and an adhesive material. The adhesive material is arranged between a housing of the vehicle battery and the securing device in order to connect the housing to the securing device by way of a material bond. The adhesive material is arranged over a retention element portion of a retention element.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A securing arrangement for securing a vehicle battery to a vehicle body, comprising:
a securing device releasably securable to a body portion of the vehicle body;
an adhesive material arranged between a housing of the vehicle battery and the securing device in order to connect the housing and the securing device to each other via a materially engaging connection, wherein
the adhesive material is arranged above a retention element portion of a retention element.

2. The securing arrangement according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a securing element securable to the housing of the vehicle battery, wherein
the adhesive material is arranged between the securing element and the securing device in order to connect the securing element and the securing device to each other in a materially engaging manner, and
the adhesive material is arranged above the retention element portion of the retention element, the retention element being configured to fix the securing element to the vehicle battery.

3. The securing arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein
the securing element is constructed in the form of a securing plate having a through-opening for receiving the retention element portion of the retention element.

4. The securing arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein
the adhesive material completely surrounds the retention element portion and thereby seals the retention element portion with respect to the environment.

5. The securing arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein
the securing device has a recess in a direction of the vehicle body, and
the recess is constructed opposite the retention element portion.

6. The securing arrangement according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a protective material provided between the retention element portion and the adhesive material in order to prevent adhesion of the retention element portion to the adhesive material.

7. The securing arrangement according to claim 6 , wherein the protective material comprise a cover placeable on the retention element portion.

8. The securing arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein
the securing device has, on a side to which adhesive has been applied, a circumferential edge which protrudes in the direction of the housing or a securing element.

9. The securing arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein
the securing device has, on a side to which adhesive material has been applied, a coating which is releasable under action of heat.

10. The securing arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein
the securing device includes a screw connection to the vehicle body.

11. A body arrangement, comprising:
a vehicle body;
a vehicle battery; and
a securing arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein
the securing arrangement is between a housing side of the vehicle battery and a body portion of the vehicle body, and
the securing arrangement is constructed in order, when the vehicle battery is moved into a mounting position on the vehicle body, to permanently connect the housing to the securing device.

12. The body arrangement according to claim 11 , wherein
a securing element is securing to the housing of the vehicle battery,
the adhesive material is arranged between the securing element and the securing device in order to connect the securing element and the securing device to each other in a materially engaging manner,
the adhesive material is arranged above a retention element portion of a retention element which fixes the securing element to the vehicle battery, and
the securing element is connected to the vehicle battery by a screw connection.

13. The body arrangement according to claim 12 , wherein
the securing device is connected to the body portion of the vehicle body by a screw connection, and
the screw connection is releasable from a passenger compartment of the vehicle body.
