The battery is also pushed by the action of the terminal spring 14 on the rear wall 12 of the battery case housing frame 10 to slide the case forward. Thus, since the battery case 20 with the lid is exposed by approximately one and a half batteries forward from the front surface of the inclined surface 5a of the operation panel surface 5, the battery in front of the case can be easily taken out by hand. Further, when one battery is taken out from the upper surface, the battery housed in the back moves forward with an inclination and is exposed and can be taken out in the same manner.
[0023]
The case where the battery is put in the battery case and stored will be described. Since the battery case 20 is widely exposed at the final position by approximately one and a half, the two dry batteries A are sequentially placed in the case main body 21 and arranged in series. The battery case 20 with the lid is inserted into the inclined battery case housing frame 10 through the battery case outlet 9 of the operation panel surface 5, and the terminal spring 14 in contact with the negative side of the dry battery A is compressed and stored in a predetermined manner. When reaching the position, the locking protrusion 33 of the locking means 11 is automatically and securely locked in the locking hole 18 of the battery case housing frame 10 by the reaction force, and the lid 25 of the battery case 20 is operated by the operation panel. The take-out port 3 of the surface 5 is closed, and the front surface of the lid of the battery case and the front surface of the operation panel surface are stored in substantially the same plane. Therefore, the dry battery A is in a predetermined position, and positive contact with the terminal plate 23 and negative contact with the terminal spring 14 are stably performed.
[0024]
Therefore, after the old dry battery is taken out from the case main body 21 of the battery case 20 with the lid, a new battery is installed, and then the battery case 20 with the lid is inserted and set in the battery case housing frame 10 according to the above-described reason, the battery replacement is completed.
