Abstract:
Device for holding a flat battery (7) of the button type for an automotive key housing, comprising:a lower portion (1) supporting at least one locking finger (15) flexible in one bending direction, the lower portion (1) comprises an abutment (18) for limiting bending of the locking finger in the bending direction, said abutment being spaced from the locking finger in the direction of bending sufficiently to permit the emplacement of the battery (7) to be confined whilst preventing the locking finger (15) from exceeding a resilient bending range of the locking finger, the abutment (18) being of T shape, with a flat portion (20) perpendicular to the bending direction of the locking finger (15), and a mechanical reinforcement (21) parallel to the bending direction of the locking finger.
