Battery-locking mechanism for electronic apparatus

Abstract

An arrangement configuration of a battery locking mechanism in an electronic apparatus is taken into consideration to make further downsizing of the electronic apparatus possible. The battery locking mechanism includes a battery mounting section (25) provided on a back surface side of an image pickup apparatus (1) for removably receiving a battery (24) thereon, a locking member (140) disposed along a rear surface side of the battery mounting section (25) and partly projecting to a battery mounting surface of the battery mounting section (25) for engaging with the battery (24) mounted on the battery mounting section (25) to lock the battery (24), and an unlocking member (150) disposed for sliding movement in a direction perpendicular to the battery mounting surface of the battery mounting section (25) for engaging with the locking member (140) to release the locking of the battery (24). The locking member (140) and the unlocking member (150) are disposed in an L shape.
