Abstract
A support body 6 having recessed trays 3, 4 for accommodating button batteries 28 is outwardly rotatable from a pocket calculator housing 8 through the sliding of a T-sectioned curved extension 7 of the body around a cylindrical pivot face 9 integral with the housing. The free end of the extension has a transverse crossbar 11 that abuts inwardly extending stop ribs 12 on the housing to limit the rotation of the body 6 and to prevent it from becoming completely detached from the housing.
