ABSTRACT:
A bonnet for a vehicle having rotary fulcrums provided at the rear side thereof to lock the front side of the same and for containing a battery at the front thereof. Side plates are provided at both sides of the battery. A connecting arm is vertically, pivotally mounted to the side plates. Catch arms are fixed at both sides of the connecting arm so as to reliably lock the front side of the bonnet. The connecting arm is L-like-shaped when viewed in plan and surrounds the outer periphery of the battery so that the locking device is not positioned in front of or above the battery. The bonnet is lower at the front of the vehicle to facilitate maintenance or exchange of the battery without interference with the locking device.
