Claims20
A mobile battery powered device comprising:
- a first piece comprising:
- a mating tool;
- an outer surface;
- and
- an inner surface forming a cavity, wherein the mating tool extends outward from and substantially perpendicular to at least one of the inner surface or the outer surface, and wherein the first piece forms a cover;
- and
- a second piece that, with the use of friction, is removably securable within the cavity of the first piece, wherein the second piece comprises:
- a front surface;
- a rear surface opposite the front surface;
- a battery;
- and
- a battery cover surrounding at least a portion of the battery, wherein the battery cover has an outer surface substantially planar with the rear surface of the second piece, the battery cover having a socket recess in the outer surface and the mating tool is adapted to remove the battery cover from the second piece when the mating tool is inserted into the socket recess.

A mobile battery powered device comprising:
- a first piece comprising an outer surface, an inner surface opposite the outer surface, and a mating tool extending outwardly from and substantially perpendicular to the outer surface, wherein the inner surface forms a cavity and the first piece forms a cover;
- and
- a second piece comprising a battery cover having a socket recess,
- wherein the battery cover and socket recess are accessible from a rear surface of the second piece,
- wherein the rear surface of the second piece is adjacent the inner surface of the first piece when the second piece is, with the use of friction, secured within the first piece,
- wherein the mating tool extends in a direction substantially parallel to the rear surface of the second piece when the second piece is secured within the first piece,
- wherein the first piece is separable from the second piece,
- wherein the mating tool and socket recess correspond in size and shape, and
- wherein the mating tool is operable to dislodge the battery cover from the second piece when the mating tool is engaged with the socket recess of the battery cover.
