ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a securing structure for the battery cartridge of a notebook-type computer, which directly connects the battery cartridge on one side of the computer. Another battery cartridge can be additionally connected with the battery cartridge for expanding the power supply of the computer.
FIG. 1
shows the connection between a notebook-type computer
100
and a battery cartridge
102
. Referring to
FIGS. 2 and 3
, a lateral side or a bottom side of the notebook-type computer
10
is formed with a receptacle
108
for receiving therein a battery cartridge
102
. Such receptacle
108
will occupy the thickness of one side of the computer
100
. Moreover, since the battery cartridge
102
is received in the receptacle
108
of the computer
100
, the thickness of the battery cartridge
102
is limited and cannot be equal to the thickness of the computer
100
. As a result, the capacity of the battery cartridge
102
is reduced due to the limitation of thickness. Also, since the battery cartridge
102
is received inside the computer
100
, it is impossible to connect the computer with another battery cartridge
102
for expansion.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is a primary object of the present invention to provide a securing structure for the battery cartridge of a notebook-type computer. The securing structure enables the battery cartridge to be directly connected to one side as to the the computer without limitation of thickness of the battery cartridge due to limited space inside the notebook-type computer. Moreover, since the battery cartridge is connected to an outer side of the computer, another battery cartridge can be additionally connected with the battery cartridge for expanding the power supply for the computer.
