ABSTRACT:
A battery holder retains and electrically connects a battery to electrical contacts contained within a housing of an electrical device. The battery holder includes a battery drawer which receives the battery and positions the battery within the housing of the electrical device. The battery drawer includes a rear end wall defining apertures for receiving the terminals of the battery. Pivotable connecting means allow the battery drawer to move within an opening defined in the housing between an open position for receiving the battery and a closed position wherein the drawer and battery are received within the housing. A cam surface within the housing contacts the battery as the drawer is closed and biases the battery against the rear end wall of the drawer to effect engagement of the terminals with the electrical contacts in the housing through the apertures in the rear end wall of the drawer. The apertures are adapted to prevent the battery terminals from being connected to the incorrect electrical contact (i.e. contact of opposite polarity) within the housing. No component of the battery holder may be completely detached from the housing of the electrical device.
