【発明が解決しようとする課題】
この発明は上記した点に鑑みてなされたものであって、その目的とするところは、バッテリパックが正常な装着状態でないときにロックされないバッテリパック装着構造を提供することにある。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この発明の電子機器のバッテリパック装着構造は、電子機器本体にバッテリパックを収容する凹部を形成し、前記凹部の1側面に前記バッテリパックに形成された凹みまたは突起と係合する係止部を設け、前記凹部の前記1側面と対向する他側面に前記凹部内方向に付勢されたロック部材を設け、前記バッテリパックをその後端側を前記係止部に係止させた状態で前記凹部内に押し込むと前記バッテリパックの前端側が前記ロック部材を付勢力に抗して一旦後退させた後ロック部材が前進し前記バッテリパックの前端側をロックする電子機器のバッテリパック装着構造において、前記凹部の前記他側面近傍の底面と前記バッテリパックが装着された状態で前記底面と対向するバッテリパックの面に互いに隙間なく嵌合する前記他側面から遠い方の面が前記底面に対して垂直である楔形状の凹凸を設けたものである。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
この発明の実施例である通信機のバッテリパック装着構造を図面に基づいて説明する。図1はこの発明の実施例である通信機のバッテリパック装着構造を示す断面図である。
【0011】
図1に示す1は通信機本体であり、バッテリパック2を収容する凹部1aが形成されている。また、通信機本体1はロック部材3を摺動自在に保持しており、ロック部材3は図示していないばねにより凹部1aの内部方向に突出するように付勢されている。
【0012】
バッテリパック2を通信機本体1に装着する場合、先ず、バッテリパック2の後端側に形成された凹み2aを通信機本体1に形成された係止部1bに係止させた状態でバッテリパック2の前端側を凹部1aの内部に押し込むと、ロック部材3はばねの弾力に抗して一旦押し込まれた後バッテリパック2のロック部材嵌合凹部2bに入り込みバッテリパック2が凹部1aに収納状態でロックされる。
【0013】
この状態で図示していない端子によりバッテリパック2と通信機本体1は電気的に接続される。バッテリパック2を外すときは、ロック部材3をばねの弾力に抗して移動させロックを解除しバッテリパック2を取り外すことができる。
【0014】
この実施例の通信機のバッテリパック装着構造では、通信機本体1の凹部1aの底面に凹み1cが形成されており、バッテリパック2に正常に装着状態で凹み1cと嵌合する突起2cが形成されている。
【0015】
図2に示すように、バッテリパック2の凹み2aを通信機本体1の係止部1bに係止させていない状態でバッテリパック2を通信機本体1の凹部1aに押し込もうとすると、バッテリパック2が正常な位置とならないので、バッテリパック2の突起2cが凹み1cに入らず、バッテリパック2を定位置まで押し込むことができない。この場合、ロック部材3がバッテリパック2をロックできない。従って、バッテリパック2が未装着のまま通信機が使用されることがない。
【0016】
実施例は以上のように構成されているが発明はこれに限られず、例えば、バッテリパック2に突起2cを設け、これと嵌合する凹み1cを通信機本体に設ける代わりに、バッテリパック2に凹みを設け、これと嵌合する突起を通信機本体に設けてもよい。また、この発明を携帯電話機等他の電子機器に適用することもできる。
【0017】
【発明の効果】
この発明の電子機器のバッテリパック装着構造によれば、バッテリパックが未装着のまま電子機器が使用されることを防止できる。
