(Second storage portion) 5 is an opening, 6 is a support shaft, 7 is a guide member, B is a battery (first removable member), and C is a memory card (second removable member). is there.

  That is, on one side of the lower surface of the housing 1, as shown in FIG. 4, there are an opening 5 in which a battery storage 3 as a first storage and a card slot 4 as a second storage are located. Is provided. In the illustrated example, the battery storage unit 3 occupying a large portion of the opening 5 stores four AA dry batteries B as a power source as a first removable member, along one side of the opening 5. The card slot 4 accommodates an external recording medium as a first detachable plate (card) member, that is, a so-called memory card C. The number of batteries B is not limited to the illustrated example, but is arbitrary.

  The opening 5 is provided with a support shaft 6 at one side of the battery storage unit 3 and the card slot 4 in a direction perpendicular to the card slot 4 and parallel to the support shaft 6 at the other side. A guide member 7 is provided. Both ends of the support shaft 6 are supported by bearing projections 11 and 12 provided in the opening 5. The guide member 7 has a rail shape in which both ends rise from the opening 5. Further, a guide / stopper protrusion 13 provided in the opening 5 is positioned in parallel with the support shaft 6 on the battery housing portion 3 side in the half portion of the support shaft 6 on the bearing protrusion 12 side.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the battery cover 2 is provided with a pair of assembly pieces 21 and 22 to be assembled to the support shaft 6 and a hook member 27 to be inserted under the rail shape of the guide member 7. It has been. The assembly pieces 21 and 22 are formed with long holes 23 and 24 through which the support shaft 6 is inserted. The hook member 27 is inserted from the outside of the opening 5 under the rail shape of the guide member 7.

  Here, the support shaft 6 is set to be sufficiently longer than the interval between the pair of assembly pieces 21 and 22, and the guide / stopper projection 13 is set to a size that fits between the pair of assembly pieces 21 and 22.

  As described above, the battery cover 2 is assembled to the opening 5 so as to be slidable along the support shaft 6 with a pair of assembly pieces 21 and 22, and also in a direction orthogonal to the support shaft 6 through the long holes 23 and 24.

  First, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, when the battery cover 2 is closed, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, one assembly piece 21 on the support shaft 6 is attached to the bearing protrusion 11. Adjacently, the assembly piece 22 on the other bearing projection 12 side abuts against the guide / stopper projection 13. Further, the hook member 27 is in an engaged state inserted from the outside of the opening 5 under the rail shape of the guide member 7. Due to the engagement between the hook member 27 and the guide member 7, the battery lid 2 is in a locked state that is prevented from being released due to rotation about the support shaft 6.

  FIG. 6 shows a state in which the see-through battery cover 2 in FIG. 5 is slid in the right direction indicated by an arrow X. The closed battery cover 2 has a pair of assembly pieces 21. It is possible to slide in the direction orthogonal to the support shaft 6 by the long holes 23 and 24 of the 22. At this time, the assembly piece 22 on the bearing projection 12 side is regulated by the guide / stopper projection 13, and the support shaft 6 Slide in the direction perpendicular to is prevented.

  FIG. 7 shows a state in which the see-through battery cover 2 of FIG. 5 is slid downward as indicated by an arrow Y. The battery cover 2 in the closed state has a pair of assembly pieces 21 with respect to the opening 5.・ Slide along the spindle 6 at 22. At this time, one assembling piece 21 is adjacent to the guide / stopper protrusion 13 and the other assembling piece 22 is guided by the guide / stopper protrusion 13 and is separated from the bearing protrusion 12 at the same time. The hook member 27 is guided under the rail shape of the guide member 7.

  As a result, only the card slot 4 is exposed as shown in the figure, so that only the memory card C can be removed and replaced without inadvertently popping or dropping the battery B.

  FIG. 8 shows a state in which the see-through battery lid 2 of FIG. 7 is slid rightward as indicated by an arrow X. The battery lid 2 in the closed state is a pair of assembly pieces 21 with respect to the opening 5. Since 22 is adjacent to both sides of the guide / stopper projection 13 so as to sandwich the guide / stopper projection 13, it slides in the right direction indicated by the arrow X perpendicular to the support shaft 6 through the long holes 23 and 24. At this time, the hook member 27 is separated from the rail-shaped bottom of the guide member 7 to the outside and detached.

  Therefore, the locked state is released, and the battery cover 2 can be opened by rotating the supporting shaft 6 as a fulcrum as shown in FIG. Thereby, the battery B can be removed and replaced.
