Abstract
The present invention is related to an adjustable battery box and an electronic device using the same. The battery box has a seat and a battery holder moving relative to the seat along an inclined direction. One electrode spring is mounted on an end of the seat to press against one end of the battery holder. When a battery is inserted in the seat, the battery holder is pushed up by the battery and then the battery holder moves along the inclined direction to compress the electrode spring, so a retaining space of the battery box is enlarged. After the battery is completely retained inside the seat, the electrode spring restores to press against the battery holder to mount the battery. Therefore the battery box is fit for batteries of different sizes.

An adjustable battery box comprising:
- a seat having a first opening and a second opening opposite to the first opening;
- a battery holder movable toward the first opening along an inclined direction to be slideably mounted in the second opening of the seat;
- and
- a spring having an end pressing against an end of the battery holder along a length direction of the battery holder;
- wherein
- the seat has two side plates formed along a width direction of the seat, each side plate has at least one first inclined notch and at least one first rib, the first inclined notch is formed downward from a top of the side plate, and the first rib protrudes inward from the top of the side plate;
- and
- the battery holder has two side pieces parallel to each other and a curve plate, the curve plate is connected between the two side pieces and has a concave surface facing downward, and an exterior surface of each side piece has a second rib and a second inclined notch each respectively matching the first inclined notch and the first rib, such that the second rib is engaged with the first inclined notch and the second inclined notch is engaged with the first rib.
A battery box of an electronic device comprising:
- a seat mounted in the electronic device and having two ends and a first battery retaining space for containing at least one battery;
- a second electrode spring connected to one of the ends of the seat;
- a first electrode spring connected to the other end of the seat;
- a battery holder disposed in the seat and movable in the seat along an inclined direction to change a depth and a length of the first battery retaining space to form a second battery retaining space for containing batteries of different sizes.
