Abstract

In a battery electric vehicle such as a heavy goods vehicle having a chassis, the vehicle battery is housed in a battery housing (1) suspended from chassis members (45) by suspension assemblies (4). Each suspension assembly attaches to the chassis and battery housing by means of machine screws. Removal of a number of the machine screws is necessary in order to separate the battery housing from the chassis. A security assembly is provided by an adapter assembly which attaches to the suspension assembly and a cover assembly, which attaches to the adapter assembly by means of a key actuated lock. The security assembly includes robust casings which when attached obstruct access to the fastenings deterring theft of the valuable battery.

IPC Classes  ?

• B60K 1/04 - Arrangement or mounting of electrical propulsion units of the electric storage means for propulsion

Abstract

A lock assembly is intended to improve the security of a roller shutter door or tailgate door, especially on a vehicle used to make frequent deliveries and collections. The lock assembly provides a bolt (15) mounted in an enveloping housing (1) to be displaced solely by the action of a key placed in a lock (14) and rotated. Rotation displaces the bolt (15) between an extended condition where the bolt can engage in a staple (10) so locking the door closed, and a retracted condition where the door can be opened.

IPC Classes  ?

• E05B 83/12 - Locks for railway freight-cars, freight containers or the likeLocks for the cargo compartments of commercial lorries, trucks or vans for back doors of vans
• E05B 85/22 - Rectilinearly moving bolts
