ABSTRACT:
A simple holddown structure for securely mounting a storage battery or the like is in the form of an integrally molded bracket member of corrosion-resistant material having two spaced-apart parallel angled members adapted to engage opposite upper edges of the battery and interconnected by a cross-bar member, the opposite ends of which are formed with an eyelet and an upstanding tab formation both extending beyond the angled members. The eyelet accommodates a fastener securing one side of the bracket member to a mounting structure and the tab cooperates with a separate L-shaped member having a series of apertures in one arm for selectively receiving the tab therein. The other arm of the L-shaped member has a slot accommodating a fastener for adjustably securing the other side of the bracket member to the mounting structure. In a modification, the L-shaped member may be formed in two pieces with the arms connected by a hook and aperture arrangement to permit lateral adjustment with respect to the fastener, that is, abaxially of the cross-bar member.
