Abstract
A battery casing for attachment on an electric equipment having positive and negative terminal rods. The battery casing comprises positive and negative terminal plates exposed for connection to the respective terminal rods when the battery casing is attached on the electric equipment. The battery casing also includes a shutter mechanism for covering at least one of the terminal plates. The shutter mechanism uncovers the one terminal plate in response to movement of the corresponding one of the terminal rods during the course of attachment of the battery casing on the electric equipment so as to permit the one terminal rod to come into contact with the one terminal plate.
Claims8
A battery casing for attachment on an electric equipment having positive and negative terminal rods, said battery casing comprising:
- positive and negative terminal plates exposed for connection to said respective terminal rods when said battery casing is attached on said electric equipment;
- and
- means for covering at least one of said terminal plates, said covering means operating in response to movement of the corresponding one of said terminal rods during the course of attachment of said battery casing on said electric equipment so as to uncover said one terminal plate to permit said one terminal rod to come into contact with said one terminal plate.
A battery casing for attachment on electric apparatus having positive and negative terminal rods, said battery casing comprising:
- positive and negative terminal plates exposed for connection to said respective terminal rods when said battery casing is attached on said electric apparatus;
- and
- means for covering at least one of said terminal plates, said covering means operable between a covering position wherein said at least one of said terminal plates is covered and an uncovering position wherein said at least one of said terminal plates is uncovered, said covering means alternating from said covering position to said uncovering position in response to movement of the corresponding one of said terminal rods during the course of attachment of said battery casing on said electric apparatus so as to uncover said terminal plate to permit said terminal rod to come into contact with said one terminal plate.
