Abstract
A battery door latching mechanism comprising two cantilevered posts incorporated in the base housing of a radio receiving device that interface with a headed rib on the base of a battery door. A recessed area in the battery housing surrounds the two cantilevered members, and prevents them from becoming overstressed due to deflection during shock, yet allowing them to deflect enough for attachment of the battery door to the housing.
