Abstract
A buckling-up structure for latching a battery lid (3) to a casing (2) of a PDA is disclosed. The battery lid (3) is used for covering a battery accommodation groove (5). The structure comprises a latching lock (9) forming a plurality of wedging hooks (94) thereon, a plurality of wedging hooks (32, 34) on two sides of the battery lid (3), respectively. An elastic body (8) is used to exert a pushing force to the latching lock. An operation button (7) is secured to the latching lock, whereby when the operation button is moved the latching lock and the elastic body move correspondingly. When the battery lid is locked to the casing, the wedging hooks (32) engage in recessing holes (52) of the casing, and the wedging hooks (34) engage with the wedging hooks (94). To release the lock between the battery lid and the casing, the operation button is motivate to move the latching lock whereby the engagement between the wedging hooks (34) and the wedging hooks (94) is released; thus, the battery lid can be removed from the casing. A stylus accommodation groove (6) is formed in the casing between the battery accommodation groove and latching lock.
