Removable battery door assemblies for image capture devices

A door assembly for an image capture device, the door assembly comprising:

• a door body having a first end configured for removable connection to the image capture device and a second end opposite the first end;
• a locking mechanism received by the door body such that the locking mechanism is axially displaceable along a length of the door assembly during movement between an unlocked position and a locked position, wherein the locking mechanism includes:
• first and second cavities spaced laterally from each other along a width of the door assembly;
• and
• first and second seats generally aligned with the first and second cavities, wherein the first and second seats are spaced axially from the first and second cavities along the length of the door assembly;
• and
• first and second biasing members including first ends positioned within the respective first and second cavities and second ends positioned in engagement with the respective first and second seats such that the first and second biasing members are axially compressed between the door body and the locking mechanism during movement of the locking mechanism from the locked position into the unlocked position,
• whereby the first and second biasing members automatically return the locking mechanism to the locked position upon closure of the door assembly.

A door assembly for an image capture apparatus, the door assembly comprising:

• a door body having a first end configured for removable connection to the image capture apparatus and a second end opposite the first end, wherein the door body includes:
• a first boss;
• and
• a second boss spaced axially from the first boss along a length of the door assembly;
• a locking mechanism slidable in relation to the door body between a locked position and an unlocked position, wherein the locking mechanism includes:
• a chamber that receives the first boss when the locking mechanism is in both the locked position and the unlocked position;
• a cutout located at an end of the chamber, wherein the cutout receives the second boss when the locking mechanism is in the locked position;
• at least one cavity;
• and
• at least one seat spaced axially from the at least one cavity along the length of the door assembly and generally aligned with the at least one cavity along a width of the door assembly;
• and
• at least one biasing member engaging the door body and the locking mechanism to bias the locking mechanism towards the locked position, wherein the at least one biasing member includes:
• a first end positioned within the at least one cavity;
• and
• a second end supported by the at least one seat.
