Battery cover assembly for portable electronic device
A battery cover assembly comprises a housing, a battery cover, a first magnetic element and second magnetic element. The magnetic pole of the first magnetic is opposite to the magnetic pole of the second magnetic element such that the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element are magnetically attracted to each other to attach the battery cover to the housing to cover the receiving space of the housing.
1. A battery cover assembly comprising:
a housing, the housing defining a receiving space for accommodating a battery;
a battery cover;
a first magnetic element, the first magnetic element mounted to a surface of the battery cover and disposed at peripheral edge of the surface of the battery cover; and
a second magnetic element, the second magnetic element disposed on the housing adjacent to the receiving space and for aligning with the first magnetic element;
wherein the magnetic pole of the first magnetic is opposite to the magnetic pole of the second magnetic element such that the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element are magnetically attracted to each other to attach the battery cover to the housing to cover the receiving space of the housing.
2. The battery cover assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first magnetic element is a hollow plate, the external contour of the first magnetic element is surrounding the peripheral edge of said surface of the battery cover.
3. The battery cover assembly of claim 2 , wherein the second magnetic element has the same size and shape as the first magnetic element.
4. The battery cover assembly of claim 3 , wherein the second magnetic element has a notch defined therein, the housing has a hole defined in an end thereof aligned with the notch, and the hole communicates with the notch.
5. The battery cover assembly of claim 4 , wherein the housing has a groove defined therein surrounding the receiving space, the second magnetic element is securely accommodated in the groove surrounding the receiving space.
6. The battery cover assembly of claim 5 , wherein the second magnetic element is hot melted in the groove.
7. The battery cover assembly of claim 1 , wherein the surface of the battery cover to which the first magnet is attached faces away from the housing.
8. The battery cover assembly of claim 1 , wherein the said surface of the battery cover to which the first magnet is attached faces the housing.
9. A portable electronic device comprising:
a housing, the housing defining a receiving space for accommodating a battery;
a battery cover;
a first magnetic element, the first magnetic element mounted to a surface of the battery cover and disposed at a peripheral edge of the surface of the battery cover; and
a second magnetic element, the second magnetic element disposed on the housing adjacent to the receiving space and for aligning with the first magnetic element;
wherein the magnetic pole of the first magnetic is opposite to the magnetic pole of the second magnetic element such that the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element are magnetically attracted to each other to attach the battery cover to the housing to cover the receiving space of the housing.
10. The portable electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the first magnetic element is a hollow plate, the external contour of the first magnetic element is surrounding the peripheral edge of said surface of the battery cover.
11. The portable electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the second magnetic element has the same size and shape as the first magnetic element.
12. The portable electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the second magnetic element has a notch defined therein, the housing has a hole defined one end thereof aligned with the notch, and the hole communicates with the notch.
13. The portable electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the housing has a groove defined therein surrounding the receiving space, the second magnetic element is securely accommodated in the groove surrounding the receiving space.
14. The portable electronic device of claim 13 , wherein the second magnetic element is holt melted in the groove.
15. The battery cover assembly of claim 9 , wherein the surface of the battery cover to which the first magnet is attached faces away from the housing.
16. The battery cover assembly of claim 9 , wherein the said surface of the battery cover to which the first magnet is attached faces the housing.
