In FIG. 1, an AC adapter 9 is connected to the electronic device 8 as a power supply source, and a battery pack 7 is also attached. Since the voltage of the AC adapter 9 is set higher than the voltage of the battery 15 built in the battery pack 9, the power from the AC adapter 9 is supplied to the electronic circuit 11 via the diode 13 at this time. When the AC adapter 9 is removed, the electric power from the battery pack 7 is supplied to the electronic device 11 via the diode 14.

0, the rotor 5, the weight 6, and the current path 16. The switch 10 is, for example, a relay switch, and is turned off (disconnects the current path 16) when a voltage is detected on the anode side of the diode 13, and is turned on (connects the current path 16) when no voltage is detected. . In other words, it is turned off while the AC adapter 9 is supplying power, and turned on otherwise. When a current flows through the current path 16, the rotor 5 is rotated counterclockwise by electromagnetic force. The weight 6 connected to the rotor 5 is for stopping the rotation of the rotor 5 due to its weight. The hook 1 is L-shaped and is connected to the rotor 5 on the side opposite to the weight 6 in the diametrical direction. In addition, the hole 4 provided in the electronic device 8 is provided so that the hooking tool 1 can be taken out from the electronic device 8.
The hole 3 provided is for hooking the hooking tool 1.

固定され、取り外すことができなくなる。The operation of the control means 2 will be described below. AC
Since the switch 10 is turned off while the power is being supplied by the adapter 9, no current flows through the current path 16 and the rotor 5 does not rotate. Therefore, the weight 6 is positioned on the lower side in the vertical direction due to its weight. Along with this, the hooking tool 1 is positioned on the upper side in the vertical direction, so that the hooking tool 1 does not come out from the hole 4. As a result, the battery pack 7 can be freely attached and detached. On the other hand, the switch 10 is turned on when the power is not being supplied by the AC adapter 9. At this time, since the current does not flow in the current path 16 unless the battery pack 7 is attached, the hook 1 is at the same position as above. When the battery pack 7 is attached, this electric power is supplied to the electronic circuit 11, and at the same time, a current flows through the current path 16 through the diode 14, so that the rotor 5 rotates counterclockwise in the figure. Along with this, the hooking tool 1 exits the hole 4 and enters the hole 3, and hooks and fixes the battery pack 7 (see FIG. 2). As a result, the battery pack 7 is fixed to the electronic device 8 and cannot be removed.
