  • Electronic device and battery locking mechanism
    Patent number: 10211437
    Abstract: A battery locking mechanism applied in an electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a casing. The casing defines a receiving portion to receive the battery and the battery locking mechanism. The battery locking mechanism includes a first latching element, a second latching element, a first elastic member and a second elastic member. The first elastic member connects the first latching element to the casing and the second elastic member connects the second latching element to the cover. When the first latching element is latched with the second latching element in a relaxed state, the battery is locked. The second latching element can be moved away from the first latching element by a fingertip until the second latching element loses contact with the first latching element, thus unlocking the battery compartment. An electronic device using the locking mechanism is also provided.
