Abstract

PURPOSE:To use a battery for a portable VTR as a power source of an electronic game machine by installing a battery mounting part with paired first and second terminals on a removable cover of a battery housing of the electronic game machine. CONSTITUTION:A battery adaptor 1 is fixed to a game machine 2 by fitting claws 21 and hooks 20 of covers 11a, 11b to engaging holes 8, 9 of battery housing 5. A pair of first terminals formed on the claws 21 side on the back surface of the cover 11a are brought into contact with a pair of terminals 6, 7 for a battery. When a battery 22 for a VTR is mounted on the adapter 1, voltage applied by electrodes 34 is supplied to terminals 6, 7 through second terminals 27 and the first terminals. The second terminals 27 made of conductive spring material are protruded on the bottom 24 of a recess 23 on which a battery is mounted, and brought into contact with the first terminals by projections formed in a second housing. The battery manufactured by different makers can be used by selecting the position of the second terminals 27.
