Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a battery storage case that stores a plurality of small batteries.

Recently, along with the miniaturization of electronic devices, the batteries used in these devices are also becoming smaller. In particular, ultra-compact portable devices such as hearing aids use high-performance small batteries, such as button-type batteries, but in the case of such portable devices, it is sometimes necessary to replace the battery with a new one while carrying the device. Often. For this reason, in the past, people carried around a separate battery of this type as a spare, but as is well known, button-type batteries are extremely small and therefore difficult to carry, and there was a risk of them being lost.

This idea was made in view of the above circumstances,
To provide a battery storage case which can securely store a plurality of small batteries and can easily take out the batteries one by one, making it extremely convenient to carry.

An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

have. Moreover, this insertion plate 2 has the above-mentioned hole 2
The entire surface is covered with a conductive foil, for example, an aluminum foil 27, leaving a small area around 3, and the protruding piece 22 is also used as a voltage measurement terminal. In this case, specifically, the insertion plate 2 is made of earthen paper laminated with aluminum foil and has a thickness of about 0.3 to 0.5 mm. Note that reference numeral 28 indicates a separation portion, such as a perforation, which allows the protruding piece 22 to be separated.

3 is colorless and transparent nylon, AS, PC, PS,
The case body 3 is integrally molded from synthetic resin such as PVC, and has a disc shape having approximately the same size as the portion surrounded by the projecting wall 11 of the substrate 1. In addition, this case body 3 has a hole 31 in the center portion corresponding to the hole 23 of the insertion plate 2.
An annular bulge 32 is formed around this hole 31, and a ring-shaped bulge 32 is formed on the back side of the case body 3 along the bulge 32 to correspond to the locking protrusion 13g of the lid 13 described above. The locking groove 32a is designed to provide a locking groove 32a. This state is shown in FIG. Further, a plurality of (six in the illustrated example) battery housing portions 33 are formed around the bulge portion 32 . These battery accommodating parts 33 have holes 34 in their heads. Further, these battery accommodating portions 33 are numbered serially from 1 to 6.

Therefore, in order to construct a battery storage case consisting of the board 1, the insertion plate 2, and the case body 3, first insert the insertion part main body 21 of the insertion plate 2 into the part surrounded by the projecting wall 11 of the board 1, and then The protruding piece 22 of the insertion plate 2 is made to protrude outside from the notch 11a. In this case, the holes 23 and 24 of the insertion plate 2 are aligned with the holes 12 and 14 of the substrate 1, and the notch 25
on the lid part 13. In this state, insert the case body 3 from above the insertion part body 21 into the substrate 1.
The hole 23 of the insertion part main body 21 is inserted into the part surrounded by the protruding wall 11, and the hole 23 of the insertion part main body 21 is inserted through the center hole 31.
A stopper such as a brass stopper 4 is inserted through the hole 12 of the substrate 1, and the case body 3 is rotatably supported via the insertion plate 2, thereby completing the battery storage case shown in FIG. .

As shown in FIG. 4, the battery storage case configured in this manner stores a small battery, for example, a button type battery 5, in each battery storage part 33 of the case body 3, and in this state, the lid part 13 of the board 1 is engaged. Fit the locking protrusion 13g into the locking groove 32a on the back surface of the case body 3, and then close the lid 1.
Keep 3 closed. In this state, the case body 3 becomes rotatable around the stopper 4, but at this time, the rib 13c formed on the inner surface of the lid portion 13 is inserted into the notch 25 of the insertion plate 2 by the thickness of the insertion plate 2. The protrusion prevents the battery 5 from falling into the notch 25 of the insertion plate 2 and the case body 3 becoming unable to rotate, thereby making the rotation of the case body 3 smooth. Further, at this time, since the locking protrusion 13g of the lid portion 13 is locked in the locking groove 32a of the case body 3, it is also possible to prevent the case body 3 from inadvertently rotating too much.

Next, in order to take out the battery 5 from this state, first, as shown in FIG. Press the striation groove 13b in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. Then, the tip of the rib 13c formed on the inner surface of the lid portion 13 comes into contact with the case body 3. In this case, the ends of the ribs 13c located on both sides of the groove 13b are in contact with the case body 3, so the groove 13b is bent into a dogleg shape using these ribs 13c as fulcrums. As a result, the locking protrusion 13g at the tip of the lid 13 is disengaged from the locking groove 32a on the case main body 3 side, and by pulling the knob 13f from now on, the lid 13 is moved as shown by the broken line in FIG. As shown in the figure, it can be rotated via the strut pressing part 13a while being bent at the strut pressing groove 13b, and pressing lightly on the symbol part, and opening by holding it in the knob.
It can be easily opened by step-by-step operation. Therefore, in this state, the battery 5 in the battery housing section 33 facing the lid section 13 can be taken out. In addition, if you want to take out two or more batteries 5, use the cover 13.
If the case main body 3 is further rotated while the case body 3 is kept open, the batteries 5 in each battery accommodating part 33 can be taken out in sequence. In this case, since the case body 3 is rotated within the projecting wall 11 of the board 1, the rotation of the case body 3 can be made smooth, and it is also possible to prevent the battery 5 from falling off from the periphery due to the rotation of the case body 3. . Therefore, with such a configuration, a plurality of button batteries 5 can be reliably stored, and the lid 13 can be easily opened by only pressing a part of the lid 13, and the batteries 5 can be opened in this state. Since the button type battery 5 can be taken out,
This makes mobile phone use extremely convenient. Further, since each battery accommodating portion 33 of the case body 3 is numbered consecutively, it is possible to easily check the remaining number of unused batteries. Furthermore, the surface of the insertion plate 2 is covered with aluminum foil 27 and the protruding piece 22 is formed as a voltage measuring terminal, and the voltage of each battery 5 is measured through this terminal and the hole 34 of the battery storage part 33 of the case body 3. Since the voltage of the battery 5 can also be measured through the hole 34 and the hole 14 of the substrate 1, battery management can be performed while the battery 5 is in the case. Furthermore, the product name, manufacturer name, etc. can be displayed using multicolor printing using the front and back surfaces of the protruding piece 22 of the insertion plate 2, and the hanging hole 26 of the protruding piece 22 can be displayed.
It can be hung on a stick hanger, etc., so it has a great in-store effect. Further, if the projecting piece 22 is not needed, it can be separated from the perforation 28, thereby improving the portability of the case.

Note that this invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, but can be implemented with appropriate modifications without changing the gist. For example, in the above case, the inner surface of the lid body 13 has a striped rib 1.
3c, however, various other shapes can be considered for the shape of the rib 13c. Further, although there is only one voltage measurement hole 14, 24 provided corresponding to the substrate 1 and the insertion plate 2, a plurality of holes may be provided corresponding to each battery storage section 33 of the case body 3.

As described above, according to this invention, it is possible to provide a battery storage case that can reliably store a plurality of small batteries and also allows the batteries to be easily taken out one by one, making it extremely convenient to carry.
