Abstract

An electronic apparatus includes: an electronic component; a battery pack configured to supply power to the electronic component; and a battery holder configured to receive the battery pack, wherein a first face of the battery holder opposing to a second face of an outside wall of the battery pack is formed to comprise a beam, and wherein the second face of the battery pack is formed to include a slit that is fitted with the beam.

Claims (23)

1 . An electronic apparatus comprising:

an electronic component;

a battery pack configured to supply power to the electronic component; and

a battery holder configured to receive the battery pack,

wherein a first face of the battery holder opposing to a second face of an outside wall of the battery pack is formed to comprise a beam, and

wherein the second face of the battery pack is formed to comprise a slit that is fitted with the beam.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the battery pack comprises one or more battery cells, and

wherein the slit is formed so as to avoid interference with the battery cells.

3 . The apparatus of claim 2 ,

wherein the battery pack comprises first and second battery cells that are arranged in a first direction, and

wherein the slit is formed on a line that is obtained in the second face when a boundary between the first and second battery cells is projected onto the second face in a second direction that intersects the first direction and is directed to the second face.

4 . The apparatus of claim 2 ,

wherein the slit is formed so as to extend across a region that is obtained in the second face when a positive pole terminal of one of the battery cells is projected onto the second face in the second direction.

5 . The apparatus of claim 2 ,

wherein the battery cells are formed in cylindrical shape.

6 . A battery pack configured to be received in a battery holder of an electronic apparatus, the battery pack comprising:

a slit configured to be fitted with a beam that is formed in the battery holder.

7 . The battery pack of claim 6 further comprising:

one or more battery cells,

wherein the slit is formed so as to avoid interference with the battery cells.

8 . The battery pack of claim 7 ,

wherein the battery cells are formed in cylindrical shape.
