(0068] A hook may be formed at any of the batterj cover 70 or it) the battery place 54 of the battery receiving part 53.
(00691 According to the embodiments depicted In PIGS. 7 and 8, a hook is provided at the battery cover 70, and a receiving rres is formed in the bactery receiving part 52.
[0070] The battery cover 70 may be provided with a main hook 72 determining the psition at which the bactery cover 70 and the battery receiving part 62 are coupled with each other, and a sub-nook 74 opposing the main hook 7 wflh the battery SO therebetween.
(0071) In addition, the battery receiving part 52 may be 2U provided with a main hook receiving portion 53 and a sub-hook receiving portion 55 coupled with the main hook 72 and the sbbfl 74, respectively.
[00721 According to the embodiment depicted in PIG. 7, in order t completely couple the battery cover 70 to the battery 2 receiving part 52, the main hook 72 may be provided outside the Page 14 anti-troisture part 90 formed at. the battery cover IQ. the sub-hook 14 may be provided inside the anti-moisture part 90 formed at the battery cover 70.
(00733 According to the embodiment depicted in PIG. 8 * the malt ?ocik 72 and the sub-hook 94 may be provided outside the anti-moisture part 90.
t00143 nO. 9 is a etheiratlc perspective view illustrating the welding of the electronic shelf label body according to an eeznpiar, embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 10 is a U) schematic perspective view illustrating the welding of the elect cotac shelf label body according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
Z00753 FIGS. 9 and 10 show bow the front case 22 and the rear case 24 of the label body 20 are ultrasonic-welders.
)3 100761 According to the embodIments depicted in FIGS. 9 and IC, th!:! na. a hook 72 and the sub-hook 74 are inserted into the battery receiving part 52.
(00771 The main hook 72 is inserted into the battery receiving part 52 and may be provided with a hook receiving hole 58 protruding toward the front case 22.
t00781 According to the embodiment depicted th FIG. 9, the hook receiving hole 58 may be sealed with a separate hook-hole cover 51 using ultrasonic*'*eLdinc. This blocivs moisture which may be introduced tbrouh a space to which the main hook 72 is coupled.
::: (00793 iccording to the embodiment depicted in P71G. 10, the Page 15 hook-hole cover 57 is formed integrally with the front case Z2 at a location corresponding to the hook receiving hole 58. The nc* receiving hole 5? is ultrasonic-welded with the hook-hole cover SI.
�0080] As stat forth above, in the electronic shelf label according to exemplary embodiments of the Invention, the locKing device in the electronic shelf label is easily locked with the receiving rail The electronic shelf label can be mounted on or separated from the receiving rail by using a special tool, thereby contributing to theft prevention.
100811 In addition, the electronic shelf label body is U...tni:ic,nic-weje)ed, thereby preventing moisture from being introduced therein from the outside. In addition, battery replacement can be facilitated and an anti-moisture effect can be achieved by processing the battery cover with anti-moisture packing.
t00821 While the present invention has been shown and described in connection with the exemplary embodiments, it will be Appsr.tnt to those skilled in the. art that modifications and variations can be made withott departing from the spirit and scoge of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
