Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a battery pack attachment/detachment device, in which a battery pack attachable to and detachable from a device main body inadvertently can not be dropped from the device main body. CONSTITUTION:A battery pack 3 is mounted on a device main body 1, and a display device unit 2 for which a LCD unit that can freely be opened/closed is used, is closed. A protrusion 5 of the display device unit is fitted into a groove 6 corresponding to the protrusion 5 of the display device unit. The battery pack 3 inadvertently can not be dropped off from the device main body 1. By fitting the protrusion of the display device unit into the groove of the battery when the display device unit is closed, the battery pack is locked in the device main body, and a lock mechanism does not appear on the surface of the device main body. There is no possibility of inadvertent contact with the lock mechanism and of lock release thereby, and the battery pack will thus not be dropped off from the device main body.
