Abstract
The invention relates to a device for fixing a housing (), in particular of a motor-vehicle battery to a carrier plate (), permitting the housing () to be fixed rapidly without complex manipulation and the aid of a tool to the plate (). To achieve this, a spring-loaded curved fixing part () is inserted under tension between the wall of the housing () that is placed on the carrier plate() and a retaining edge () that projects vertically from the carrier plate (). The fixing part () is preferably curved in a U-shape and comprises a hook-shaped section () that grips the base of the housing () by means of an opening () in the carrier plate (), in addition to a wedge-shaped surface () that co-operates with the retaining edge () and engagement elements () that secure the housing in position.
