Abstract
A latch assembly for maintaining a battery in position upon a portable telephone. The latch assembly includes a latch body having at least one face surface forming a latching surface for abuttingly engaging with the battery to maintain the battery in position. A spring member exerts a spring force for maintaining the latch body and, hence, the latching surface formed thereupon in the abutting relationship with the battery. A downward force exerted upon the latch body causes translation thereof to remove the latching surface from the abutting engagement with the battery.
