Abstract: There are provided a battery apparatus and electronic equipment capable of reliably mounting the battery apparatus on a battery mounting section, and advantageous in improving operability when mounting the battery apparatus on the battery mounting section. One surface of a case 10 of a battery apparatus 100 in a thickness direction H is formed as a flat bottom surface 1008. At the portions of the bottom surface 1008 on the both sides in a width direction W, a plurality of engaging pieces 1012 are formed respectively so as to project outwardly in the width direction W at spaced intervals in the length direction L.

Abstract: A power supply unit for extending a function of an apparatus (image pickup apparatus) unloadably loaded with a flat parallelopiped battery having a roughly square principal surface includes the flat battery, and a power supply (for example, a control grip including a cell or cells and a control portion which includes a power supply button, a shutter button, a zoom switch) electrically connected to the flat battery through a plate having the same shape as that of the flat battery and detachably mounted, projected portions are formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction of a back surface opposite to an insertion surface of the plate, along the back surface, and one of the projected portions is formed with a locked surface to be locked by a lock means (lock pawl) possessed by the apparatus, whereby mis-insertion of the plate into the apparatus is prevented, and a function of the apparatus is extended.

Abstract: A cradle device on which a camera device is mounted can be mounted on a printer device. There is provided a printing system that includes a camera device having an imaging unit and a memory for storing image data photographed by the imaging unit, a cradle device having a camera mounting section mounted in the state that the camera device is electrically connected and a terminal unit or an operating unit that is provided on the back surface and is electrically connected to other electronic devices, and a printer device that has a cradle mounting section mounted in the state that the cradle device is electrically connected and prints image data inputted from the cradle device, wherein the cradle mounting section has a covering portion that covers the terminal unit or the operating unit provided on the back surface of the cradle device.

Abstract: A camera-integrated VTR system including a printer embodying a data processing device of the invention is provided, wherein various external data supplied from an external device and internal data generated or recorded internally are enabled to be exchanged selectively, easily and directly between respective components of the system without use of any additional component therebetween so as to be printed instantaneously.

Abstract: A battery apparatus and an electronic equipment are provided which permit the use of a plurality of types of battery apparatuses that differ in capacity, and are advantageous in improving ease of use. A case of a battery apparatus has a main body portion and a bottom portion disposed at one side in a thickness direction at the midpoint in a width direction of the main body portion. Portions on both sides in the width direction of the case are formed as flat side surfaces that are parallel to each other and extend in a length direction. A plane on one side in the thickness direction of the case is formed as a flat bottom surface. At portions of the case on both sides in the width direction, guide grooves are formed which extend in the length direction and engage projections disposed at a battery housing chamber thereby to position the position of the case in the thickness direction within the battery housing chamber.

Abstract: A camera-integrated VTR system including a printer embodying a data processing device of the invention is provided, wherein various external data supplied from an external device and internal data generated or recorded internally are enabled to be exchanged selectively, easily and directly between respective components of the system without use of any additional component therebetween so as to be printed instantaneously.

Abstract: A connector on an electronic device includes a pair of locking plates, a guide groove, and a space. Each locking plate has, on its edge, a first concave portion, a first convex portion, a second concave portion, and a second convex portion. An intermediate surface for determining a position of an accessory device below the guide groove is provided below the second concave portion and the second convex portion. A contact mounting surface provided with plural contacts is provided below the first convex portion. Guide surfaces for determining a position of the accessory device in the width direction of the guide groove are provided below the first concave portion and the first convex portion.

Abstract: To provide a thinner, lighter battery pack and to reduce the cost by eliminating the need for a battery case. A thin battery pack structure using an outer packaging film (battery pack) is constructed by a flat and rectangular shaped battery cell, a flat and rectangular shaped frame portion accommodating the battery cell, a circuit board unit disposed on the outer side surface of the frame portion, a cap portion mounted on one ends of the frame portion and the battery cell so as to sandwich the circuit board unit with the outer side surface of the frame portion, and an outer packaging film for integrally covering the rectangular battery cell and the frame portion.

Abstract: A pop-up mechanism and a camera apparatus equipped with this pop-up mechanism that can be configured without using a motor or a gear train and manufactured at a low cost by reducing the number of parts and realizing compactness and light weightare disclosed. A pop-up mechanism and a camera apparatus equipped with this pop-up mechanism comprising a strobo apparatus (9) that is supported so as to be movable between a pop-up position and a housing position, a coil spring (29) urges the strobo apparatus (9) to the pop-up position, a working member (11) having a hooking piece (13) which holds the strobo apparatus (9) at the housing position, and a plunger mechanism (16) that is linked to said working member and of which the magnetic attracting force is inactivated when the plunger mechanism is energized.
