Abstract
A flange is provided upright on a top inner peripheral portion of an outer frame of a battery frame. The flange is formed inward with a gradient. A peripheral side wall of a battery cover is formed outward with a gradient to mate with an inclined angle of the flange. The peripheral side wall is taper-fitted onto the outer side surface of the flange via a sealing member and then engaged therewith. Accordingly, since no outward extended element is provided in the flange, the interference between the flange and the floor frame member is avoided and thus battery installing operability is improved.
