(WO9407279-A1)      Cover (1) comprises moulded plastic support (2) having at least top and side walls (3, 4, 5, 6, 7) sufficiently rigid to be self-supporting and attachment means (46) for attaching a plastic envelope (30) enclosing heat insulation to a portion of at least one wall.    The support is pref. configured to receive a wet cell, lead/acid battery, esp. a car battery. It is injection moulded from heat-resistant rigid plastic and has a top wall and four side walls and a rectangular cross-section. The plastic is pref. polyolefin, nylon, acrylate, polyamide, polyester, ABS, polycarbonate, phenolic, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, or polyacrylonitrile. The plastic envelope for the insulation is pref. of the same plastic. The insulation is pref. 1/8-1 inch thick and is plastic, ceramic, glass, mineral, cellulose, or asbestos in particulate, most esp. fibrous, form.    USE/ADVANTAGE -   Used partic. for a car battery to provide protection from the hostile environment of an engine compartment, esp. in smaller modern cars where room is at a premium and air-intake grills are small or non-existent. The cover is designed to occupy the minimum amt. of space and to enable heat insulation to be strategically located only where necessary, i.e., between the battery and a source of heat.
