Abstract:
1. A battery holder assembly for an electronic device, comprising: a cavity structure disposed in a chassis panel of an electronic device, said cavity structure defining a cavity and at least partially formed of an electrically conductive material; a screw plate at least partially formed of an electrically conductive material sized and shaped to be snugly fitted within an opening in said chassis panel defined by said cavity structure, said screw plate having a base which forms a cover for enclosing said cavity and is configured to form an electrical connection with said cavity structure and a first terminal of a coin cell battery, when said coin cell battery is positioned in said cavity and said screw plate is fitted within said opening; a spring electrical contact disposed on an inner face of said screw plate configured for providing an electrical connection between said coin cell battery disposed in said cavity and an inner face of said screw plate; an insulator cup formed of an electrically insulating material, said insulator cup sized and shaped for snugly receiving a coin cell battery therein, and configured to fit within said cavity and electrically insulate a second battery terminal of a coin cell battery when positioned therein from said cavity structure; a battery contact formed of an electrically conductive material disposed on said insulator cup configured for providing an electrical connection to a second terminal of a coin cell battery when said coin cell battery is positioned in said cavity; an aperture formed in said cavity structure opposed from said screw plate; and a pin formed of a conductive material and forming an electrical connection extending between said battery contact on said insulator cup and a circuit board of said electronic device.
