ABSTRACT:
A selective call receiver (100) comprises a battery powered receiver (104) for receiving and presenting a message, a battery having terminals for electrical coupling thereto, and a housing (208) enclosing the receiver (104) and the battery. The housing (208) has a first opening (206) for receiving the battery and at least one second opening (234) separate from the first opening (206) for securing a battery door (FIG. 4). The battery door (FIG. 4) provides access to the battery contained within the housing (208). The battery door (FIG. 4) comprises a hinged member (214) having a first end (238) coupled to the housing (208) for rotating between a closed position and an opened position, and a second end reduced to form a tongue (240). The hinged member (214) further includes a bottom surface (246) having an electrical contact (244) coupled thereto for electrically coupling the receiver (104) to the terminals of the battery and wherein the hinged member (214 ) rotates the electrical contact (244) pivotally away from the battery thereby breaking the electrical coupling therebetween. A movable member (212) coupled to and enclosing the hinged member (214) wherein the tongue (240) of the hinged member (214) is slidably coupled within a slot (250) of the movable member (212) for permitting the movable member (212) to slide along the hinged member (214) while the hinged member (214) remains stationary and coupled to the housing (208). The movable member (212) has a first end including at least one protrusion (228) for engaging to the housing (208) and a second end opposite to the first end has at least one strut (254, 256) for engaging with the at least one second opening (234) of the housing (208) for securing the movable member (212).
