Abstract
This invention proposes an on/off switching device for a battery-powered electric or electronic apparatus or component. The apparatus or component encompasses a battery compartment (3) as well as a battery holder assembly (7, 9) by means of which the battery (11) can be rotated out of and extended from the compartment. In the extended position of the holder, the battery can be turned in and/or with the holder.
Claims13
An on/off switching device for an electric or electronic battery-powered apparatus or component, characterized in that it encompasses a battery compartment as well as battery holder in which a battery can be rotated out of and extended from the battery compartment, and that in said extended position the battery can be turned in and/or with said battery holder,
- wherein the battery can be turned in and/or with the battery holder so that, when the battery is turned 180° and the holder is rotated back into the battery compartment, battery poles are reversed.
An on/off switching method for a battery-powered electric or electronic apparatus or component, characterized in that for switching the apparatus or component on and off, a battery is rotated out of a battery compartment, turned by 180°, and reinserted in the battery compartment with its poles reversed.
An on/oft switching device for a battery-powered electric or electronic apparatus or component, characterized in that a battery is retained in a battery compartment and/or in a holding bracket designed in the form of a soft case, wherein the battery can be turned within and rotated with said bracket or compartment for connecting or disconnecting the battery, by reversing battery poles so as to make or break contact.
An on/off switching device for an electric or electronic battery-powered apparatus or component, comprising:
- a battery compartment;
- and
- a battery holder in which a battery can be rotated out of and extended from the battery compartment along a first axis, and that in said extended position the battery can be tamed in and/or with said battery holder along a second axis, wherein the second axis is transverse to the first axis.
