Connecting mechanism for a battery case and a body of a portable electronic device
First Claim
1. A connecting mechanism for a battery case and a body of a portable electronic device, comprising:
- a main body, having a receptacle;
a connecting member, having a body and at least one mounting portion;
a cover defining a sliding space;
a shaft extending through said at least one mounting portion and mounted in the receptacle;
wherein the connecting member is slidably received in the sliding space of the cover, and the connecting member is rotatable together with the cover about the shaft;
wherein the cover defines at least one groove in an inside thereof, at least one block is formed on the inside of the cover at an outer side of said at least one groove such that it partially underlies said at least one groove, and a space defined by said at least one block together with said at least one groove cooperatively defines the sliding space;
wherein the cover includes a bent portion at one side thereof, at least one projection is provided on an inside of the bent portion, a sidewall of the main body defines at least one notch, and said at least one projection of the bent portion is engaged in said at least one notch of the sidewall of the main body when the cover is in a fully closed position; and
wherein a guiding projection is formed on an inside of the cover, the connecting member defines a slot, and the guiding projection is slidably received in the slot.

Abstract
A connecting mechanism for a battery case and a main body of a portable electronic device includes a main body (10), a connecting member (20), a cover (30), and a shaft (40). The main body has a receptacle (162), and a recessed portion (192) for receiving the battery case. The connecting member has a body (22) and one or more mounting portions (24). The cover defines a sliding space. The shaft extends through the mounting portions and is received in the receptacle. Thus the connecting member is rotatable relative to the main body about the shaft. The connecting member is received in the sliding space and can slide along the sliding space relative to the cover. Thus the cover is both rotatable and slidable relative to the main body, and need not be detached from the main body.
