Battery pack with secure-locking mechanism and shock absorbing system with easy insertion mode

A battery pack with a shock absorbing system for damping a force, comprising:

• a battery cell and a cell gauge printed circuit board connected together;
• the battery cell and the cell gauge printed circuit board located in a shock absorbing material;
• the shock absorbing material has a cylindrical portion encircling a cylindrical part of the battery cell, a bottom portion that covers a bottom end of the battery cell, and a top portion that covers substantially a top end of the battery cell, and an enclosing portion that surrounds the cell gauge printed circuit board;
• the cylindrical portion functions as a first shock absorber;
• the bottom portion functions as a second shock absorber;
• the top portion functions as a third shock absorber;
• the enclosing portion has a sub-piece that functions as a fourth shock absorber;
• the cylindrical portion, the bottom portion, the top portion, and the enclosing portion are placed together;
• the shock absorbing material positioned inside a plastic enclosure with a cap;
• and
• the plastic enclosure constructed of a single uniform piece of material having no ultrasonic welding.

A locking and unlocking mechanism for a battery pack in a handheld scanner, comprising:

• a set of bushes that position a hook inside a shell;
• the hook rotates around a hinged axis;
• a button is fleeting mounted on the hook, wherein the button and the hook are coupled together and allow a rotation of the hook and a translational motion of the button, and wherein the translational motion of the button means the button moves with a trajectory in a line and does not rotate;
• when the battery pack is inserted into the handheld scanner, an extended component connected to the handheld scanner pushes against the hook, wherein the hook rotates and the button moves down in the translational motion, and wherein the extended component becomes engaged;
• when the extended component is engaged, the hook locks the battery pack in a position;
• and
• when the battery pack is removed from the handheld scanner, the button is pressed down and the button moves in the translational motion to retreat into the shell, wherein the hook rotates and unlocks the battery pack from the position.
