BATTERY HOLDER AND PORTABLE LIGHTING APPARATUS USING SAME

摘要

A battery holder includes storage chamber for storing a battery. The storage chamber includes: opening end surface through which battery can be taken in or out; and upper surface section, lower surface section, and first and second side-surface sections (opposing each other) for holding the battery. Projection is formed on the inner wall of first side-surface section at a portion including the end on the opening end surface side. Outward deformable flexible section is formed on second side-surface section at a portion including the end on the opening end surface side. Slit that extends from third side-surface section opposite to the opening end surface toward the opening end surface and stops at the position corresponding to a part of the battery is formed in upper surface section and/or lower surface section. The end of the flexible section is located closer to the third side-surface section than the projection.

主权项

1. A battery holder comprising:
a storage chamber for storing a button battery,
wherein the storage chamber including:
an opening end surface through which the button battery is taken in or out while being led by a side surface of the button battery; and
an upper surface section, a lower surface section, a first side-surface section, and a second side-surface section for holding flat surfaces and a side surface of the button battery, the first side-surface section and the second side-surface section opposing each other,wherein a projection projecting toward an inside of the storage chamber is formed on an inner wall of the first side-surface section at a portion including an end on an opening end surface side,a flexible section deformable toward an outside of the storage chamber is formed on the second side-surface section at a portion including an end on the opening end surface side,a slit is formed in at least one of the upper surface section and the lower surface section, the slit extending from a third side-surface section opposite to the opening end surface toward the opening end surface, and extending to a position corresponding to a part of the button battery,an end of the flexible section on the opening end surface side is located closer to the third side-surface section than the projection in an extending direction of the flexible section.
