Construction of battery compartment

Abstract

A battery compartment of a thin type device such as a memory card which must house a battery therein. The construction comprises a pair of inlet wall surfaces which are extended inwardly through one side wall of the main body of the thin type device and which are inclined at a predetermined angle to the outer surface of the one side wall of the main body; a compartment surface whose both ends merge with the pair of inlet wall surfaces, respectively, and which has a shape for snuggling a battery thereto; a cover body which is inserted into the battery compartment space defined by the pair of wall surfaces and the compartment surface while holding a battery; and a locking device for securely attaching the cover body to the main body. The side surfaces of the cover body are so inclined that they can match to the pair of inlet wall surfaces, respectively. Thus the cover body can be inserted into or withdrawn out of the main body only in the direction of inclination. As a result, the cover body can be securely attached to the main body and there is no fear that the cover body may be dropped out of the main body.
