Abstract

A theft tracking device includes a circuit board, a battery, a battery case, a housing, and an engagement part. The circuit board specifies a current position and transmits current position information regarding the current position specified through a wireless communication. The battery case houses at least a part of the battery. The housing houses the circuit board, the battery case and the battery housed in the battery case. The engagement part is provided by the housing, and engages with the battery case such that a first space of the housing in which the circuit board is located is separated from a second space of the housing that faces the battery.

Claims (41)

1. A theft tracking device comprising:

a circuit board that specifies a current position and transmits current position information regarding the current position specified through a wireless communication;

a battery that supplies electric power to the circuit board;

a battery case that houses at least a part of the battery;

a housing that houses the circuit board, the battery case and the battery housed in the battery case; and

an engagement part that is provided by the housing, wherein the engagement part engages with an engagement portion of the battery case, and separates a first space of the housing in which the circuit board is located from a second space of the housing that faces the battery housed in the battery case; wherein

the battery case has a case body defining an opening at an end and a flange projecting from the end of the case body,

the engagement portion of the battery case is provided by the flange, and

the engagement part defines an engagement groove to receive the flange.

2. The theft tracking device according to claim 1 , wherein

the battery case defines an opening, and

the battery is partly exposed from the opening into the second space.

3. The theft tracking device according to claim 1 , wherein

the engagement part and the engagement portion of the battery case provide a labyrinthine structure that restricts a battery liquid leaked from the battery from entering the first space from the second space.

4. The theft tracking device according to claim 1 , wherein

the housing includes a housing body and a housing cover,

the housing body defines an opening at a side for installing the battery case, the battery and the circuit board into the housing body, and,

the housing cover covers the opening of the housing body.

5. The theft tracking device according to claim 1 , wherein

the battery case is fixed to the circuit board, and a space is provided between the battery case and the circuit board.

6. A theft tracking device comprising:

a circuit board that specifies a current position and transmits current position information regarding the current position specified through a wireless communication;

a battery that supplies electric power to the circuit board;

a battery case that houses at least a part of the battery;

a housing that houses the circuit board, the battery case and the battery housed in the battery case; and

an engagement part that is provided by the housing, wherein the engagement part engages with an engagement portion of the battery case, and separates a first space of the housing in which the circuit board is located from a second space of the housing that faces the battery housed in the battery case; wherein

the housing includes a housing body and a housing cover,

the housing body defines an opening at a side for installing the battery case, the battery and the circuit board into the housing body,

the housing cover covers the opening of the housing body;

the engagement part includes a rail-shaped portion, and

the rail-shaped portion is configured to guide the battery case when the battery case is inserted into the housing body from the opening of the housing body.

7. A theft tracking device comprising:

a circuit board that specifies a current position and transmits current position information regarding the current position specified through a wireless communication;

a battery that supplies electric power to the circuit board;

a battery case that houses at least a part of the battery;

a housing that houses the circuit board, the battery case and the battery housed in the battery case; and

an engagement part that is provided by the housing, wherein the engagement part engages with an engagement portion of the battery case, and separates a first space of the housing in which the circuit board is located from a second space of the housing that faces the battery housed in the battery case; wherein

the housing includes a housing body and a housing cover,

the housing body defines an opening at a side for installing the battery case, the battery and the circuit board into the housing body,

the housing cover covers the opening of the housing body; and

a portion of the engagement part is provided by the housing cover.
