Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The invention is characterized in that it prevents the battery attached to the battery holder from falling off due to vibration of the battery holder, and also allows the battery to be easily removed from the battery holder when replacing the battery. .

There is a conventional battery holder shown in FIG. 1, which has a problem in that the battery 2 falls off from the battery holder 1 when the battery holder 1 is violently vibrated in the directions of arrows A and B. In order to solve this problem, it has been proposed to attach a lid to the battery holder 1, or to increase the elasticity of the positive electrode plate 3 and negative electrode plate 4, but in this type of configuration, the battery 2 is attached to the battery holder. It was extremely troublesome to take it out from scratch.

The present invention was made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and its purpose is to prevent the battery from falling out of the battery holder due to vibration of the battery holder, and to easily remove the battery from the battery holder when replacing the battery. This means that it can be eliminated.

A battery holder with a clamping part provided on the lower surface and a through hole provided on the side surface, a clamp holding arm that is slidably inserted into the clamping part, and a battery holding arm that can be engaged with the side surface of the battery outside the battery holder. a clamp with an arm, the clamp holding arm is provided with a battery extrusion protrusion that can penetrate the through hole and push out the battery side surface to the outside of the battery holder, and the battery is attached to the battery holding arm. It is characterized in that it is held in the battery holder by the button and is detached from the battery holder by the engagement of the battery push-out protrusion.

The present invention will be described below based on an embodiment of the present invention shown in the drawings.

2 and 3 show a clamp 10 according to the present invention, and the clamp 10 is made of an elastic member.

The clamp 10 has two battery holding arms 12,
It consists of a clamp holding arm 14 and an operator 16, and the operator 16 has a saw-shaped groove 16a, which allows the clamp 10 to hold the battery holder 1.
It can be easily slipped against 8. A protrusion 20 for pushing out a battery is provided in a protruding manner on the arm for holding the clamp, and an inclined surface 22 is formed on the protrusion 20 for pushing out a battery. Further, the clamp 10 is formed with two grooves 24 as shown in FIG. The clamp 10 is prevented from moving in the longitudinal direction of the battery holder 18.

As shown in FIG. 4, the battery holder 18 has a gap 30 formed on the case 26 as a clamping portion, which is set slightly larger than the thickness of the clamp holding arm 14 of the clamp 10. As shown in FIG. 4, the battery holder 18 is provided with a through hole 32, and when the battery 2 and the battery holding arm 12 are engaged, the battery ejecting protrusion 20 is inserted into the through hole. 32, but by moving the clamp 10 in the direction of arrow C, as shown in FIG.
2 and extrude the battery 2 upward in the drawing.

Further, the battery holder 18 through hole 32 may pass through both sides of the battery holder 18, but in this configuration, if the battery 2 is not housed in the battery holder 18, the clamp 10 will be inserted into the battery holder 18.
The problem arises that it separates from the

The illustrated embodiment is constructed as described above, and its effects will now be explained.

To hold and fix the battery 2 to the battery holder 18, move the clamp 10 in the direction of arrow D in FIG.
2 to engage the state shown in FIG. 4. As a result, even if the battery holder 18 is violently vibrated in the directions of arrows A and B, the battery 2 will not fall off from the battery holder 18.

In addition, when taking out the battery 2 from the battery holder 18, as shown in FIG.
When the operator 18 is pulled in the direction of arrow C, the inclined surface 22 of the battery push-out protrusion 20 pushes up the side surface of the battery 2 upward in the drawing, and the positive or negative electrode of the battery 2 separates from each electrode plate of the battery holder 18. By doing so, the battery 2 can be easily taken out from the battery holder 18.

In the illustrated embodiment, the clamp 10 also includes:
When the battery pushing out protrusion 20 comes into contact with one side wall of the battery holder 18, the battery holder 18
Since the clamp 10 is not separated, there is no need to worry about losing the clamp 10.

In the illustrated embodiment, the clamp holding arm 14 of the clamp 10 is held in a gap 30 (a holding part) formed by the case 26 and the battery holder 18, and this holding part is shown in FIG. As shown, the elastic holding member 4 is attached to the battery holder 40.
The object of the present invention can also be achieved with a configuration in which 2 and 42 are formed. With this configuration, the clamp 10 can be coupled to the battery holder 40 before the battery holder 40 is fixed to the case 26 in FIG.
Case 26 of battery holder 40 and clamp 10
This makes it easier to connect to.

Further, in the illustrated embodiment, the clamp 10 is moved in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the battery holder 18 to store and hold the battery and take out the battery, but there is another method in which the clamp 10 is moved in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the battery holder 18. Even if the holder 18 is movable in the longitudinal direction or in the directions of arrows A and B in FIG. 4, the object of the present invention can be achieved.

As explained in detail above, according to the present invention, the battery housed in the battery holder is elastically held between the battery holding arm of the clamp and the clamp holding arm, so that the battery holder is The battery will not fall out of the battery holder even if it is violently vibrated. The practical effects of the device of the present invention are particularly great when a battery-powered electronic timepiece is installed in an automobile that vibrates violently. In addition, in the device of the present invention, the battery extrusion protrusion can push the battery out of the battery holder in conjunction with moving the clamp from the battery holding state to the battery holding release state, making it easy to replace the battery. It is.
