  • Battery latch
    Patent number: 6623049
    Abstract: This invention includes a latch member for a latch assembly, suitable for a removable battery package. The latch member accommodates attachment to a latch coupler of an electronic device. A resilient, springy-metal, deflectable latch member is provided. The latch member includes arms for coupling with a latch coupler, a locking arm for adhering to a plastic housing, and spring arms that cause a torsion element to twist when force is applied to the arms. The torsion element is at least twice as long as it is wide, and provides reliable return force despite a short travel length of the arms. The latch member is suitable for battery packages in which space is a premium.
