Abstract
A battery assembly for providing a stable, quick release between an image recording apparatus and a structural support apparatus includes a housing defining a closed interior area for accommodating an energy cell. A threaded bore and a depression are defined in said housing, with the depression extending into the closed interior area. A mounting mechanism having a threaded post is provided for releasably engagaing with the depression such that an expansive mounting surface is provided when at least a portion of the mounting mechanism is engaged within the depression.
Claims11
A battery assembly for providing a stable, quick release between an image recording apparatus and a structural support apparatus, said battery assembly comprising:
- a housing having a first surface and a second surface, said first surface and said second surface being on opposing sides of said housing;
- a threaded bore defined on said second surface;
- a depression formed in said first surface;
- an energy cell disposed within said housing;
- mounting means for releasably engagaing with said depression, said mounting means including a threaded post formed thereon;
- and
- wherein an expansive mounting surface is provided when said mounting means is engaged within said depression.
A battery assembly for providing a stable, quick release between an image recording apparatus and a structural support apparatus, said battery assembly comprising:
- a housing, said housing defining a closed interior area for accommodating an energy cell therein;
- a threaded bore defined in said housing;
- a depression formed in said housing, said depression extending into said closed interior area
- mounting means for releasably engagaing with said depression, said mounting means including a threaded post formed thereon;
- and
- wherein said mounting means provides an expansive mounting surface when said mounting means is engaged within said depression.
A method of providing for a quick release between an image recording apparatus and an accessory device, said method comprising the steps of:
- forming a battery housing adapted to be selectively disposed between said image recording apparatus and said accessory device, said battery housing defining an interior where an energy cell is operatively disposed;
- defining a depression in said battery housing, said depression protruding into said interior;
- defining a threaded bore in said battery housing;
- and
- forming an expansive mounting surface for said image recording apparatus when at least a portion a mounting means is secured within said depression.
