  • Battery latch for a communication device
    Patent number: 5869204
    Abstract: A battery package (100) includes a latch (106) for easy attachment to a radio (402). Engagement of the battery package (100) to the radio is accomplished via matching a plurality of retaining rails (110) via notches (112) with a plurality of opposing and complementary retaining rails on the radio (402). A simple sliding motion locks the latch (106) to the radio (402). Disengagement requires little force as the latch (106) is depressed in the same direction as the battery package (100) is slid down. The battery comes to a stop when an alignment of the notches (112) with the radio retaining rails has taken place. An effortless lift separates the battery package (100) from the radio (402).
