Abstract

An automotive battery is maintained in a tray mounted to the vehicle. The tray has a hinge mechanism in which a torsion rod is pivotally mounted. The torsion rod has a holddown portion which engages a complementary component on the battery to hold the battery in the desired operating location. A latch member on the tray cooperates with the torsion rod to restrain the torsion rod in a latched condition such that a continuous holddown force is exerted on the battery.
