A battery stopper stops a battery from slipping from a battery compartment in a frame of a vehicle. The battery compartment has a side opening which enables the battery to be taken in and out of the battery compartment. The battery stopper includes a stopper member capable of closing the side opening so as to cross the side opening. The stopper member is pivotally supported by a pair of frame-side fixed members that are located on both sides of the side opening, thereby enabling the side opening to be opened and closed.

What is claimed is: 1. A battery stopper for stopping a battery, the battery being a drive source of a forklift truck, from slipping off the forklift truck, comprising: a frame for forming a part of the forklift truck; a battery compartment provided in the frame, the battery compartment being located under a driver's cab of the forklift truck; a side opening provided in the battery compartment by opening a side face of the frame, wherein the side opening enables the battery to be taken in and out of the battery compartment in a lateral direction of the forklift truck; a stopper member for stopping the battery from moving in the lateral direction of the vehicle through the side opening, wherein the stopper member is pivotally supported by a pair of fitting members that are located on both sides of the side opening in a traveling direction of the vehicle, and the stopper member also connects both of the fitting members, wherein when the stopper member is in a closing position where the stopper member crosses the side opening, the stopper member stops the battery from moving in the lateral direction of the forklift truck, and wherein when the stopper member is in an open position where the side opening is no longer crossed by the stopper member in the lateral direction of the forklift truck, the side opening enables the battery to move in the lateral direction of the forklift truck; a locating pin provided in one member of each frame-side fixed member and the stopper member so as to be movable in an axial direction thereof; a pair of engaging portions provided in the other member for enabling the locating pin to engage with the stopper member selectively in one position of the open position and the closing position; and a resilient member for urging the locating pin in a direction in which the locating pin is engaged with each engaging portion. 2. A battery stopper for stopping a battery, the battery being a drive source of a forklift truck, from slipping off the forklift truck, comprising: a frame for forming a part of the forklift truck; a battery compartment provided in the frame, the battery compartment being located under a driver's cab of the forklift truck; a side opening provided in the battery compartment by opening a side face of the frame, wherein the side opening enables the battery to be taken in and out of the battery compartment in a lateral direction of the forklift truck; and a stopper member for stopping the battery from moving in the lateral direction of the vehicle through the side opening, wherein the stopper member is pivotally supported by a pair of fitting members that are located on both sides of the side opening in a traveling direction of the vehicle, and the stopper member also connects both of the fitting members; wherein when the stopper member is in a closing position such that the stopper member crosses the side opening, the stopper member stops the battery from moving in the lateral direction of the forklift truck, and wherein when the stopper member is in an open position such that the side opening is no longer crossed by the stopper member in the lateral direction of the forklift truck, the side opening enables the battery to be moved in the lateral direction of the forklift truck; and wherein the forklift truck includes a cover member which is capable of opening and closing a top opening of the battery compartment, wherein the stopper member is formed so as to be capable of supporting the cover member in a closing state when the stopper member is in the closing position and wherein the stopper member in the closing position supports the cover member over the length of the side opening in the traveling direction of the forklift truck. 3. The battery stopper according to claim 2, wherein the cover member includes a battery hood. 4. A battery stopper for stopping a battery, the battery being a drive source of a forklift truck, from slipping off the forklift truck, comprising: a frame for forming a part of the forklift truck; a battery compartment provided in the frame, the battery compartment being located under a driver's cab of the forklift truck; a side opening provided in the battery compartment by opening a side face of the frame, wherein the side opening enables the battery to be taken in and out of the battery compartment in a lateral direction of the forklift truck; and a stopper member for stopping the battery from moving in the lateral direction of the vehicle through the side opening, wherein the stopper member is pivotally supported by a pair of fitting members that are located on both sides of the side opening in a traveling direction of the vehicle, and the stopper member also connects both of the fitting members; wherein when the stopper member is in a closing position such that the stopper member crosses the side opening, the stopper member stops the battery from moving in the lateral direction of the forklift truck, and wherein when the stopper member is in an open position such that the side opening is no longer crossed by the stopper member in the lateral direction of the forklift truck, the side opening enables the battery to be moved in the lateral direction of the forklift truck; and wherein when the battery is stored in the battery compartment, a space is formed between a bottom wall of the battery compartment and the battery, wherein when the battery is scooped up, a fork of another forklift truck supports a bottom of the battery through the space, and wherein when the stopper member is in the open position, the stopper member is formed so as to be capable of stopping the battery from excessively rising. 5. The battery stopper according to claim 4, wherein the forklift truck includes a cover member which is capable of opening and closing a top opening of the battery compartment, and wherein when the stopper member is in the open position, the stopper member is formed so as to be capable of stopping a closing motion of the cover member. 6. The battery stopper according to claim 5, wherein the cover member includes a battery hood.
