Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes an electronic device body including a settling part located at a side of the electronic body, a battery member coupled to the settling part of the electronic device body, one or more hook joining part located at a side of the electronic device body, and one or more hook member located around the battery member and detachably coupled with the one or more hook joining part.

Claims

1. An electronic device comprising:

an electronic device body including a settling part located at a side of the electronic device body;

a front member formed in the side of the electronic device body;

a battery member coupled to the settling part of the electronic device body;

two or more hook joining parts located at sides of the electronic device body, the two or more hook joining parts each comprising a plurality of hook shaped joining projections extending toward each other;

two or more hook members respectively located around the battery member and detachably coupled with the two or more hook joining parts; and

a battery frame part that is located at one or more sides of the battery member,

wherein the battery frame part is formed in a body together with the battery member,

wherein the two or more hook members are located in the battery frame part, and

wherein the two or more hook joining parts are located in the front member.

2. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the two or more hook members are formed in a body together with the battery frame part.

3. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the battery member is configured to supply power to the electronic device.

4. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the two or more hook members comprise a rounded edge.

5. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the two or more hook joining parts are coupled with the settling part.

6. The electronic device of claim 4, wherein the two or more hook joining parts couple with the settling part.

7. The electronic device of claim 6,

wherein the two or more hook joining parts include a joining groove indented from a side of the front member and configured to couple with the two or more hook members, and

wherein the plurality of hook shaped joining projections protrude respectively from sides of the joining groove and are configured to prevent separation of the two or more hook members from the joining groove.

8. The electronic device of claim 7, wherein the two or more hook members are coupled in a slidable pattern between the joining groove and the plurality of hook shaped joining projections.

9. The electronic device of claim 7, wherein the plurality of hook shaped joining projections are formed at an outer end of the sides of the joining groove.

10. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the plurality of hook shaped joining projections are further configured to have an outer circumference having an end that is rounded.

11. The electronic device of claim 9,

wherein, the two or more hook members are configured to pass the plurality of hook shaped joining projections from an outside of the joining groove into an inside of the joining groove if the two or more hook members are enforcedly inserted into the joining groove, and

wherein the plurality of hook shaped joining projections are elastically deformable.

12. An electronic device comprising:

an electronic device body including a settling part located at a side of the electronic device body;

a front member formed in the side of the electronic device body;

a battery member coupled to the settling part of the electronic device body;

two or more hook joining parts located at a first side and a second side of the electronic device body, the two or more hook joining parts each comprising a plurality of hook shaped joining projections extending toward each other; and

two or more hook members located respectively at a first side and a second side of the battery member and detachably coupled with the two or more hook joining parts,

wherein the two or more hook joining parts are located in the front member,

wherein the two or more hook joining parts are coupled respectively with a first side and a second side of the settling part,

wherein the two or more hook joining parts include a joining groove indented in a side of the electronic device body and configured to couple with the two or more hook members,

wherein the plurality of hook shaped joining projections protrude respectively from sides of the joining groove and are configured to prevent separation of the two or more hook members from the joining groove, and

wherein the plurality of hook shaped joining projections of the two or more hook joining parts coupled with the first side of the settling part are different, in size, from the plurality of hook shaped joining projections of the two or more hook joining parts coupled with the second side of the settling part.

13. The electronic device of claim 12, wherein the two or more hook joining parts are configured to:

dissimilate a height of the plurality of hook shaped joining projections of the two or more hook joining parts coupled with the first side of the settling part and a height of the plurality of hook shaped joining projections of the two or more hook joining parts coupled with the second side of the settling part, and

adjust portions caught by the two or more hook members respective to the plurality of hook shaped joining projections of the two or more hook joining parts coupled with the first side and the second side of the settling part.
