Abstract

The present invention relates to a thin battery-containing structure for an electronic apparatus which includes a lock pin provided on a flexible arm of a battery holder. The lock pin is guided to a predetermined position by a guide/lock groove in a case by pressing a battery holder inward for installing a battery in the battery container of the case. The lock pin is disengaged by the guide/lock groove when further inward force is applied. Upon removal of such force, the battery holder is pressed out of the battery container.
