The present invention relates to a vehicle and more particularly, to a tray configured to secure components of the vehicle.
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
[002] The information in this section merely provides background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art(s) for the present disclosure.
[003] Vehicles, particularly vehicles configured to be ridden such as a motorized scooter, motorcycle, three-wheeled vehicle, and four-wheeled vehicle such as an all-terrain vehicle, comprises a battery to perform various functions, for example starting function, lighting or auxiliary functions, etc. Typically, the battery is contained within a box, generally referred to as a battery box or a tray. The tray is often defining an internal space, wherein the battery is placed. The tray, along with the battery, is mounted on the frame of the vehicle. Further, various other components of the vehicle are mounted separately on the frame body of the vehicle by using multiple stays or securing elements. This configuration increases the assembly time and complexity of the vehicle at the time of mounting these components.
[004] In the motorcycle (saddle-type vehicle), a fuel tank and the other fuel carrying components such as fuel filter, fuel feed hoses, etc. are mounted above an engine of the vehicle. There are various instances when, during servicing of the vehicle, the fuel feed hose needs to be disconnected to service associated components of fuel supply system of the vehicle such as fuel filter, fuel pump, etc. Therefore, there might be a chance of spilling fuel from the fuel feed hose on the engine. This phenomenon becomes dangerous when the engine is hot and the spilled fuel, drops on the engine. Hot surfaces are known ignition sources for flammable

and combustible liquid fuels spilled from the vehicles. In automobile fires, it can occur on any heated vehicle component including the exhaust manifold and catalytic converter. Further, the associated components of fuel supply system of the vehicle and the fuel feed hose need to be disposed away from heat source of the vehicle, more particularly, the engine and/or power unit, radiator of the vehicle, due to combustible nature of the liquid fuel.
[005] The present disclosure is directed to overcome one or more limitations stated above or any other limitations associated with the prior art.

[052] In an embodiment, the securing section (20) is defined by a first portion (20a) and a second portion (20b). In a preferred embodiment, the first portion (20a) is at an elevated height from the second portion (20b). This configuration provides

extra rigidity to the first portion (20a) for safely securing the battery (36) and provides minimum complexity and weight. Further, this configuration also ensures the flow of spilled fuel towards the first portion (20a) from the second portion (20b) due to the elevated height of the first portion (20a). In another embodiment, the second portion (20b) is at an elevated height from the first portion (20a) without limiting the scope of the invention. In an embodiment, the first portion (20a) is configured to retain the battery (36) of the vehicle (100), and the second portion (20b) is configured for securing at least the fuel filter (34), the fuel feed hoses (38), and the relay.
[053] The battery (36) can be selectively disposed of at least partially within the first portion (20a) as shown, for example, in FIG. 8. The battery (36) can have a generally rectangular shape. The battery (36) can also be provided with lugs (not shown) to facilitate an electrical connection to the battery (36). The second portion (20b) is defined with a plurality of securing elements (28) for supporting the plurality of components (32). In a preferred embodiment, the second portion (20b) defines a plurality of holes (28a) to provide passage to the fuel feed hoses (38).

In another embodiment, the securing section (20) may be configured as a clutch and throttle cable guide.
[054] As shown in figure 8, the tray (10) comprises a retention member (24) which is configured for selective securement of the battery (36) within the first portion (20a). The retention member (24) may be movably coupled to at least one of the front wall (18), the left sidewall (14), or the right sidewall (16) to facilitate selective securement of the battery (36) within the first portion (20a). In a preferred embodiment, the retention member (24) is pivotally coupled to the front wall (18) of the tray (10). The retention member (24) is movable between opened and closed positions (e.g., shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, respectively) to facilitate selective installation, removal, and securement of the battery (36) within the first portion (20a). For example, as shown in FIGS. 5-8, the retention member (24) may

comprise a strap that can be bolted to other portions of the tray (10), such as to the base (12) and the front wall (18). In an embodiment, the retention member (24) is flexible or rigid and can be formed from any of a variety of materials such as for example, plastic, metal, or fabric. It will be appreciated that a retention member (24) may be provided in any of a variety of alternative configurations and may be affixed to the tray (10) in any of a variety of alternative embodiments.
[055] In an embodiment, the tray (10) further comprises a connection member (26) configured to couple the retention member (24) with at least one of the base (12), the left sidewall (14), or the right sidewall (16). In a preferred embodiment, the connection member is extending upwardly from the base (12) and is configured to couple the retention member (24) with the base (12).
[056] In an embodiment, one or more drain holes (not shown) might be provided in the securing section (20) to facilitate the escape of any moisture which might access the plurality of components (32) at the first portion (20a) and a second portion (20b). Accordingly, any moisture that enters the securing section (20) is likely to flow to the drain hole, and then through the drain hole, drains out from the securing section (20).
[057] The present disclosure provides the tray (10) to secure components (32) of the vehicle (100). The tray (10) is positioned in between the engine (112) and the fuel tank (114) in order to collect spilled fuel leaked from the fuel feed hoses (38) at the time of servicing of associated components of the fuel supply system of the vehicle such as the fuel filter (34), the fuel pump (40), etc. This configuration ensures that the spilled fuel does not fall on the engine (112). Further, when the engine (112) is hot i.e. just after the ride due to the vehicle breakdown and the fuel tank (114) is dismounted for replacement or for maintenance then the tray (10) ensures safety by preventing the spilled fuel drops on the engine (112). Also, the tray (10) may act as a heat shield between the fuel tank (114) and the hot air coming from the radiator (126) of the vehicle (100). The tray (10) as disclosed ensures that

the plurality of the components are secured to it and saves more time, and effort. The tray as disclosed ensures that the plurality of the components are secured to it and saves more time, and effort. Due to the compact layout, the tray (10) is cost-effective, lightweight and easy to install.
