Snap-in battery mounting base

摘要

A battery having a housing with a lower rim and a pair of terminals projecting from one face is releasably mounted in a base. The base has a floor with side rails and an upright at one end. Spring loaded contacts are mounted in the upright to engage the terminals on the battery housing. The side rails have clips that engage the lower rim when the battery is placed in the base to hold the battery housing against the floor. A hinged releasable latch formed in the base engages the rear of the rim to hold the terminals against the contacts.
