Abstract
A battery cover assembly includes a battery cover (3) defining a pair of guide rails (326) therein, a connecting member (2), a housing (1) defining a receiving slot (164) and at least a battery-receiving compartment (194), a plurality of springs (5), and an antenna rod (4). The connecting member is slidingly received in the guide rails along a lateral direction, and the antenna rod inserts into the receiving slot through the connecting member and the springs such that the battery cover can rotate about the antenna rod. When the battery cover is rotated downwardly to the housing, a force is required to press the battery cover down upon the housing, and then inwardly along a direction toward the antenna rod until locking projections (302) on the cover catch in troughs (182) defined in the housing.
