Remote controller with a spare battery storage and mobile electronic apparatus
First Claim
1. A remote controller which is energized by power from dry cells for transmitting radio signals to remote control an apparatus to be controlled, comprising:
- an array of operating keys arranged to be actuated by a user;
a control circuit for controlling the action of corresponding components in response to the movement of the operating keys;
a signal transmitter arranged responsive to control commands of the control circuit determined by the movement of the operating keys for transmitting the radio signals;
a case containing the above components therein;
a battery holder provided in the case for holding the dry cells with its electrodes connected to power supply terminals to supply the power for enabling the action of the corresponding components; and
a spare battery storage provided in the case for storing spare dry cells which replace exhausted dry cells in the battery holder.

Abstract
A remote controller is provided comprising an array of operating keys arranged to be actuated by a user, a control circuit for controlling the action of corresponding components in response to the movement of the operating keys, a signal transmitter arranged responsive to control commands of the control circuit determined by the movement of the operating keys for transmitting radio signals, a case containing the above components therein, a battery holder provided in the case for holding dry cells to supply the power, and a spare battery storage provided in the case for storing spare dry cells which replace exhausted dry cells in the battery holder. When the dry cells in the battery holder are exhausted, they are removed out from the battery holder. Then, the spare dry cells in the spare battery storage are loaded into the battery holder. This can facilitate replacement of the dry cells.
