Electronic apparatus wherein components are detachably arranged in a housing having a recess with a sliding and clamping cover

An electronic apparatus comprising:

• a housing having side walls and a battery pack storage portion which is positioned inside said side walls of said housing, and which has a pair of side walls opposite to each other, said side walls of said housing having a loading port continuous with said battery storage portion;
• a battery pack removably stored in said battery storage portion through said loading port, and having a pair of side walls slidably contacting with and guided by the side walls of said battery storage portion, and a hollow ridge secured to one of said side walls, extending in a direction in which said battery pack is inserted into said battery storage portion, and containing circuit components;
• and
• a recess formed in one of the side walls of said battery storage portion for receiving said hollow ridge of said rectangular case when said battery pack is inserted into said battery storage portion, said recess having an opening communicating with said loading port.

An electronic apparatus comprising:

• a base unit having an upper case having a top wall and a side wall continuous to the top wall and a rear wall continuous to the top and the side walls, a lower case having a bottom wall and a side wall continuous to the bottom wall and a rear wall continuous to the top and side walls, and a storage space between said upper case and lower case, the side walls of said upper and lower cases having a loading port communicating with said storage space, the top wall of said upper case having a first guide section continuous with an upper edge of said loading port, the bottom wall of said lower case having a second guide section continuous with a lower edge of said loading port, and said first and second guide sections have grooves, respectively, which extend in the direction of said upper and lower edges of said loading port;
• a component removably stored in said storage space through said loading port;
• and
• a cover attached to said base unit and capable of moving between a first position where said cover closes said loading port and a second position where said cover opens said loading port, said cover comprising a top wall portion slidably fitted on an upper surface of said first guide section, and a lower wall portion having a guide projections slidably placed in the groove of said first guide section, said lower wall portion having a guide projection slidably placed in the groove of said second guide section, and said first and second guide sections of said base unit being clamped by said cover.

The electronic apparatus comprising:

• a base unit having an upper case having a top wall and a side wall continuous to the top wall and a rear wall continuous to the top and side walls, a lower case having a bottom wall and a side wall continuous to the bottom wall and a rear wall continuous to the top and side walls, and a storage space between said upper case and said lower case, the side walls of said upper and lower cases having a loading port communicating with said storage space, the top wall of said upper case having a first guide section continuous with an upper edge of said loading port, the bottom wall of said lower case having a second guide section continuous with a lower edge of said loading port,
• a component removably stored in said storage space through said loading port;
• and
• a cover attached to said base unit and capable of moving between a first position where said cover closes said loading port and a second position where said cover opens said loading port, said cover comprising a top wall portion slidably fitted to an upper surface of said first guide section, a lower wall portion slidably fitted on a lower surface of said second guide section, a rear wall portion communicating with said rear walls of said top and lower cases, and a latch formed at an end portion of said cover which is situated opposite to said rear wall portion of said cover, said being capable latch of being removably engaged with said base unit to hold said cover in said first position, and said first and second guide sections of said base unit being clamped by said cover.
