CA 2351373

An apparatus for facilitating battery exchange in a portable electronic device. A housing has an opening (14) for containing the battery. The opening has first and second apertures (16, 18) for permitting the battery (20) to be pushed directly into contact with a retainer (22, 24). Access to the battery is unobstructed to expedite battery exchange and to permit movement of the battery in different directions through the housing opening. Multiple retaining arms can have arcuate surfaces for holding the battery. The housing can have multiple retaining arms having complex or complementary battery holding surfaces, and can have multiple housing sections attached to the multiple retaining arms. Visual contact with the battery permits continuous display of battery charge strips attached to the battery exterior case. The method of the invention permits quick exchange of batteries so that continuous operation of the electronic device is not encumbered. By sliding the battery against electrical contacts within the opening, the contacts are automatically cleaned during battery replacement.

Dispositif servant à faciliter le remplacement d'une pile dans un appareil électronique portable. Un boîtier possède une ouverture servant à contenir la pile. Cette ouverture possède un premier et un deuxième orifices permettant de pousser directement la pile et de la mettre en contact avec un élément de retenue. L'accès à la pile ne présente aucune difficulté, ce qui permet de la remplacer très rapidement et de la déplacer dans des sens différents à travers l'ouverture du boîtier. Des tiges de retenue multiples peuvent comporter des surfaces incurvées servant à retenir la pile. Le boîtier peut posséder des tiges de retenue multiples présentant des surfaces de retenue de pile complexes ou complémentaires, et peut comprendre également des sections multiples fixées aux bras de retenue multiples. Un contact visuel avec la pile permet un affichage continu de bandes de charge de la pile situées sur la partie extérieure de la pile. Procédé permettant de remplacer rapidement des piles, de manière à ne pas interrompre le fonctionnement continu de l'appareil électronique. Le glissement de la pile contre les contacts électriques à l'intérieur de l'ouverture permet de nettoyer automatiquement les contacts pendant le remplacement de la pile.
