Abstract:
A plug-holder strip for an accumulator battery, comprising:a plurality of plugs to be fitted in complementary holes in a cover of a battery, and a support structure which interconnects the plugs, the plugs being connected to the support structure by yielding connection means which allow the plugs to move relative to the support structure to enable the plugs to be aligned with the holes in the cover, wherein: each plug is fitted in a through-hole in the support structure, and the connection means comprise an annular sealing member which surrounds the hole and forms a seal between the plug and the support, and resilient retaining means which are associated with the support structure and compress the plug onto the sealing member to ensure leaktightness whilst maintaining the ability of the plug to move relative to the support.
