ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an electric power supply device, and more particularly to a portable electrical energy source.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Typically, the battery of a vehicle may be coupled to the battery of the other vehicle for jumping the other vehicle. When the vehicles are computerized, the computer systems of both the vehicles may be damaged during the jumping operation. In addition, it is inconvenient to electrically couple the batteries of the vehicles together.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages of the conventional electric power supply devices.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a portable electrical energy source for supplying the electric power to jump the vehicle.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a portable electrical energy source comprising a housing including a chamber formed therein, at least one battery received in the chamber of the housing, a casing including an opening formed therein, a pair of clips received in the opening of the casing, means for coupling the clips to the battery, and means for detachably securing the casing to the housing to retain the at least one battery in the housing. The battery and the casing may be easily and quickly disengaged from the housing and may be coupled to the battery of the other vehicle for jumping the vehicle.
The casing includes a pair of rods extended inward of the opening of the casing for engaging with the clips. The detachably securing means includes a latch extended from the casing for engaging with the housing and for securing the casing to the housing, and includes at least one hook extended from a bottom portion of the casing for engaging with the housing and for securing the casing to the housing.
The housing includes a stop extended inward of the chamber of the housing for engaging with the at least one battery and for retaining the at least one battery in the housing. The housing includes a pair of conductors secured in the housing, the at least one battery includes a pair of poles and a pair of conductors secured to the poles of the at least one battery and electrically coupled to the conductors of the housing. A light device is further electrically coupled to the conductors of the housing.
Further objectives and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a careful reading of a detailed description provided hereinbelow, with appropriate reference to accompanying drawings.
