Patent ID: 8252454

Claim:
A battery cover latching mechanism used, comprising a body member defining a receiving space and a pivoting hole; a battery cover including an interior surface, a plurality of limiting blocks and two mounting portions, the inner surface and the limiting blocks cooperatively defining a receiving cavity receiving a battery, the mounting portions symmetrically formed on one end of the interior surface, each mounting portion defining a slit; an elastic member, one end of the elastic member resisting the body member, the other end of the elastic member resisting the battery cover; and a shaft extending through the slits of the mounting portions, the pivoting hole, and the elastic member to rotatably connect the battery cover to the body member; wherein when the battery cover is latched on the body member, the limiting blocks and the battery are received in the receiving space at a first state; when the battery cover is slid relative to the body member to allow the shaft to slide in the slit until the battery cover is unlocked from the body member, the battery cover with the battery together rotate to open relative to the body member; the elastic member provides an elastic force to automatically open the battery cover relative to the body member allowing the battery to be removed from the battery cover.
