3. A pacemaker having an electronic circuit built in a case and a battery for supplying power to the electronic circuit, the pacemaker characterized in that:
-
said battery is constructed as a chargeable battery; a charging hole is formed in said case, and the inside of the charging hole is provided with battery charging terminals electrically connected to said chargeable battery; and a needle-shaped charging needle is inserted into said charging hole, and the needle charging terminals provided at the end portion of the charging needle are divided into two by an insulator, so that after the charging needle is inserted into the charging hole the needle charging terminals contact with the corresponding battery charging terminals so as to charge the battery, and the pacemaker further comprises a power supply unit which is electrically connected to said needle charging terminals to apply power to said needle charging terminals. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5)
