Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a battery accommodating apparatus for a small wireless device using a dry battery as a power source. 2. Description of the Related Art A conventional battery storage device will be described with reference to FIGS. A battery housing 22 is provided from the end of the back surface 21a of the case main body 21 of the small wireless device to the end of the side surface 21b. A plus terminal 23 is provided at one end of the battery housing 22, and a minus terminal 24 formed by a coil spring is provided at the other end. Then, a lower portion of the battery housing portion 22 on the side of the minus terminal 24, that is,
A groove 25 is provided in the case body thickness direction B.
Also, the battery cover 2 is closed to close the battery housing 22.
6 is removably provided on the case body 21. [0003] A method of using the conventional battery storage device configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. [0004] First, when a dry battery 27 is stored in the case body 21, the battery cover 22 is removed by opening the battery cover 22 of the case body 21, and the battery housing 22 is opened.
2 to the minus terminal 24 of the dry cell 27
7a while pushing the positive terminal 2
By bringing the positive terminal 27b of the dry battery 27 into contact with the battery pack 3, the dry battery 27 is stored in the battery storage section 22. By closing the battery housing 22 with the battery lid 26, the dry battery 27 is housed in the case body 21. Next, when removing the dry battery 27 from the case main body 21, the battery cover 22 is opened by removing the battery cover 26 of the case main body 21, and the minus terminal 27a of the dry battery 27 stored in this battery store 22 is opened. Finger 28 on the side
The negative terminal 27a of the dry battery 27.
The side is pushed into the groove 25 in the battery housing 22 with the end 25a of the groove 25 as a fulcrum. As a result, the positive terminal 27b side of the dry battery 27 rises, and the battery housing 2
The battery 27 can be easily removed from the inside. However, according to such a conventional battery storage device, the groove 25 in the battery storage portion 22 which facilitates the removal of the dry battery 27 is formed in the case body thickness direction. B, there is a problem that a sufficient space for the concave groove portion 25 cannot be ensured with the recent miniaturization and thinning of small wireless devices. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a sufficient space for a concave groove portion by changing a direction of taking out a dry battery to easily take out the dry battery. It is to provide a battery storage device which can be used. [0008] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a battery accommodating portion for accommodating a dry battery having an opening formed in a side portion of a case body, two terminal portions electrically connected to terminals of the battery to the battery housing portion is provided, towards the one terminal part of said terminal portions to the case body opening
A battery spring in the form of a coil spring in an inclined direction, a concave portion in the width direction of the case main body provided in the vicinity of the battery housing portion on the one terminal portion side, and the battery housing portion is detachably closed. It is. With this configuration, when taking out the dry battery stored in the case main body, a concave groove portion in the battery storing portion provided for easily taking out the dry battery is provided in the width direction of the case main body, and the space of the concave groove portion is reduced. By securing enough, it is possible to cope with the miniaturization and thinning of the case body of a small wireless device, and one terminal in the battery housing urges the dry battery to push it toward the opening of the case body. Therefore, the operation of removing the dry batteries from the battery housing can be further facilitated. . DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A battery storage device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a small wireless device provided with the battery storage device of the present invention. Side surface 1a of case body 1 of a small wireless device
Is provided with a battery storage section 2, and a terminal section 4 is provided in the battery storage section 2. The terminal portion 4 includes a minus terminal (one terminal) 4a and a plus terminal 4b. A minus terminal 4a is provided at one end of the battery housing 2 and a plus terminal 4b is provided at the other end. A mounting portion 5 for mounting the minus terminal 4a formed in a coil spring shape is provided in the battery housing portion 2 at an angle. By attaching the minus terminal 4a to the mounting portion 5, a minus terminal 4a is provided. 4a is attached in a state of being deflected in the direction of the opening of the case body. A concave groove 6 is provided in the vicinity of the negative terminal 4a of the battery housing 2 in the width direction A of the case body. In addition, a battery cover 7 is detachably attached to the case body 1 to close the battery housing 2. A method for using the battery storage device of the present invention configured as described above will be described. First, the case body 1
When the dry battery 8 is stored in the case body 1,
The battery cover 2 is opened by removing the battery cover 7 located in the battery compartment 2, and the negative terminal 8 a of the dry battery 8 is pushed into the negative terminal 4 a in the battery compartment 2 while the battery cover 2 is open.
The dry battery 8 is housed in the battery housing 2 by bringing the plus terminal 8b of the dry battery 8 into contact with the plus terminal 4b located inside. Then, by closing the battery housing section 2 housing the dry batteries 8 with the battery lid section 7, the dry batteries 8 are housed inside the case body 1. Next, when the dry battery 8 is removed from the case body 1, the battery housing 2 is opened by removing the battery cover 7 of the case body 1. Then, the negative terminal 8a of the dry battery 8 housed in the battery housing portion 2 is pushed in with the finger 9, and the negative terminal 8a side of the dry battery 8 is pushed into the concave groove 6, whereby the end 6a of the concave groove 6 is supported. As a result, the positive terminal 8b side of the dry battery 8 is raised. Moreover,
Since the minus terminal 4a in the battery housing 2 is deflected in the direction of opening the case body to urge the dry battery 8 to be pushed out from the battery housing 2, the dry battery 8 is easily taken out from the battery housing 2. be able to. According to the battery accommodating device of the present invention configured as described above, the recessed groove 6 for facilitating the removal of the dry battery 8 is provided in the width direction A of the case main body 1. The space for the concave groove 6 can be sufficiently ensured while responding to downsizing and miniaturization, and the battery housing 2
By deflecting the minus terminal 4a provided inside the case body in the direction of the opening of the case body, the work of taking out the battery from the battery housing portion 2 is further facilitated. In addition, since the battery housing 2 is provided on the side surface 1a of the case body 1, the appearance of the case body 1 is improved in appearance. Since the battery storage device of the present invention is constructed as described above, as the case body of a small wireless device becomes smaller and thinner, the inside of the battery storage portion for easily taking out the dry battery is reduced. By providing the concave groove portion in the width direction of the case body, a sufficient space for the concave groove portion can be secured, and
Since the minus terminal in the battery compartment urges the dry battery to push the battery toward the opening of the case body, taking out the dry battery from the battery compartment is further facilitated.
