Abstract

The cover of a battery compartment is releaseably secured by a compressible U-shaped latch carried by the cover and provided with a pair of projections for engaging a side wail of the battery compartment. Both the side wall and latch are provided with corresponding recesses which define an opening for receiving a pointed object to compress the latch and release the projections.
