SYSTEM FOR LOCKING / UNLOCKING AN OBJECT UNDER A STRUCTURE HAVING A HOOK FOR DRAWING AND SUPPORTING SAME
First Claim
1. A system for locking and/or unlocking an object, such as a power battery of a drive engine of an electric or hybrid motor vehicle, under a structure such as a chassis of the vehicle, the system comprising:
- a plurality of locks ensuring the fixing of the object under the structure, the locks being secured to the object and/or the structure and each comprising on the one hand a hook configured to draw the object in the direction of the structure by compressing a resiliently deformable means inserted between the object and the structure and to support the object relative to the structure at the end of the drawing travel, and on the other hand a transmission device driving the hook during the drawing travel and configured to be actuated by an actuation tool that is separate from the structure and the object.

Abstract
A system is provided for locking and/or unlocking an object, such as a power battery of a drive engine of an electric or hybrid motor vehicle, under a structure such as a chassis of the vehicle, including a plurality of locks ensuring the attachment of the object under the structure. The locks are secured to the object and/or structure and each include a hook configured for drawing the object to the structure by compressing an elastically deformable member inserted between the object and the structure and for supporting the object relative to the structure at the end of the approximation travel, as well as a transmission device driving the hook during the drawing travel and configured such as to be actuated by an actuation tool that is separate from the structure and the object.

11. A method for mounting or dismounting an object, such as a power battery of a drive engine of an electric or hybrid motor vehicle, under a structure such as a chassis of the vehicle, comprising:
the use of a locking and/or unlocking system comprising a plurality of locks ensuring the fixing of the object under the structure, the locks being secured to the object and/or the structure and each comprising on the one hand a hook configured to draw the object in the direction of the structure by compressing a resiliently deformable means inserted between the object and the structure and to support the object relative to the structure at the end of the drawing travel, and on the other hand a transmission device driving the hook during the drawing travel and configured to be actuated by an actuation tool that is separate from the structure and the object; and
a mounting and/or dismounting device and a plurality of actuation tools that are separate from the structure and the object, each actuation tool being configured to actuate the transmission device of a given lock of the system in order to drive the hook thereof so as to draw the object in the direction of the structure by compressing a resiliently deformable means inserted between the object and the structure and to support the object relative to the structure at the end of the drawing travel.
