  • Patent number: 11760433
    Abstract: A battery storage device includes a battery case (42) storing a battery (62A or 62B) and a case side connection terminal (43) connected to a terminal portion (41) of the battery (62A or 62B) stored in the battery case (42). The battery storage device further includes a terminal displacement mechanism (45) and an operation member (44). The terminal displacement mechanism (45) causes the case side connection terminal (43) to be displaced between a connection position (P1) contact-connected to the terminal portion (41) of the battery (62A or 62B) and a retreat position (P2) separated from the connection position (P1). The operation member (44) is capable of operating the terminal displacement mechanism (45).

  • Patent number: 11355812
    Abstract: A device includes a battery case (42) that stores a battery (62A or 62B), a lock mechanism (133) that is capable of fixing and holding the stored battery (62A or 62B) in the battery case (42), and an operation member (44) that is capable of performing switching operation of the lock mechanism (133) between a battery-fixed state and a non-battery-fixed state. The lock mechanism (133) includes a movable block (160) which is supported by the battery case (42) in a displaceable manner. The movable block (160) has a battery restriction portion (160b or 160c) which restricts displacement of the battery (62A or 62B) in a separation direction in a state of being displaced to a battery fixing position, and a holding force receiving portion (160d) which receives a holding force for maintaining the movable block (160) at the battery fixing position from the operation member (44) in a state where the operation member (44) is operated within a predetermined positional range.
