ABSTRACT:
A battery receptor to make it possible to insert a battery having a protruding end and a flat end in either orientation which includes a first pair of contacts which is mounted at one end of the receptor and which is capable of accommodating one end of the battery and a second pair of contacts which is mounted at the other end of the receptor for accommodating the other end of the battery. Each of the pair of contacts is made up of two members--an electrically conductive retainer member and an electrically conductive flat contact, both of which are rigidly connected to the battery receptor. The retainer member is in electrical contact with one of the two receptor electrical contacts while the flat contact is in electrical contact with the other of the receptor electrical contacts. The retainer member is sized and shaped to retain the flat end of the battery but not the protruding end of the battery while the flat contact, which is adjacent to, and separated from, the retainer member and on the side of the retainer member away from the battery, is capable of electrically contacting the protruding end of the battery.
