Publication number: 20140038018Abstract: A battery cover assembly for a portable electronic device includes a base body, a battery cover, a movable member, a driving rod, and an elastic member. The base body includes a block defining a guiding groove. The guiding groove includes a straight edge, a sloping edge, and a guiding portion having a clasp with a guiding edge formed in the guiding groove. The driving rod has a protrusion and is slidably engaged with the movable member. The elastic member abuts against the movable member. When the driving rod is slid along the guiding portion, the protrusion is slid along the guiding edge and is latched with the clasp to position the driving rod in a first position. When the driving rod is slid in the guiding groove, the protrusion is slid along the straight edge and the sloping edge to position the driving rod in a second position.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2013Publication date: February 6, 2014Applicants: FIH (HONG KONG) LIMITED, SHENZHEN FUTAIHONG PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventors: XIAO ZHANG, YONG-GANG ZHANG, KUAN-HUNG CHEN

Publication number: 20140030570Abstract: A flat battery is configured such that a sealing plate which serves as a negative electrode surface seals a battery case which serves as a positive electrode surface, with a gasket interposed therebetween. The flat battery is held in a resin case, and in this state the flat battery is contained in a battery package. The resin case includes an open end face through which the battery is inserted and removed, a side portion and a bottom portion which hold a side surface and/or a bottom surface of the battery, and a ring-shaped protrusion which protrudes radially inward from an edge of the side portion. The protrusion is supported on the edge in a bendable manner, and an inner diameter of the protrusion is smaller than an inner diameter of an exposed portion of the gasket. An emetic agent is applied to an outer surface of the resin case.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2012Publication date: January 30, 2014Applicant: PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventors: Yoshiaki IMANISHI, Daisuke SUMIMOTO, Shinichi KAWAGUCHI, Hiroshi HASE
