  • Patent number: 7558076
    Abstract: A replaceable battery fixture is disclosed for fixing a replaceable battery device having a first fixing portion and a second fixing portion to a housing of an electronic equipment. The replaceable battery fixture includes a first fixing member for being fixed to the first fixing portion of the replaceable battery device, and a second fixing member for being fixed to the second fixing portion of the battery device. The second fixing member can move bias and elastically in accordance with the housing, so as to bias move the second fixing member by the second fixing portion of the battery device after the first fixing member is fixed to the first fixing portion. A force for bias moving the second fixing member is released when the replaceable battery device reaches to a predetermined position, so that the second fixing member is restored by its elastic force and fixed to the second fixing portion.
