DETAILED DESCRIPTION What we claim is: 1.
A battery and battery receptacle arrangement, comprising (a) a battery as a first part of the arrangement, (b) a battery receptacle as a second part of the arrangement, (c) at least one formation provided on one of the parts, (c) a corresponding formation provided on the other part, which corresponding formation is engaged by the said at least one formation when the battery is inserted in the receptacle and moved transversely therewithin, thereby to retain the battery in the receptacle in a readily releasable manner.
2.
An arrangement according to claim 1, in which the formation provided on one of the parts comprises a projection, and the corresponding formation comprises a hole.
3.
An arrangement according to claim 2, in which the projection is provided on the battery casing.
4.
An arrangement according to claim 2, in which the projection has a transverse portion which is spaced from the said one of the parts, and which extends in a transverse direction which is transverse to the outward direction of projection, the receptacle as a whole permitting movement of the battery therewithin in a transverse direction, to enable the projection to be locked onto the other part at the hole thereof and thereby retain the battery in a readily releasable manner.
5.
An arrangement according to claim 2, which the projection has a simple hook construction so that it can be inserted through the hole and hooked onto a portion which defines the hole.
6.
An arrangement according to claim 2, in which the projection is provided with a slanting surface that urges the projection out of engagement with the hole when the battery is moved in a transverse direction within the receptacle.
7.
An arrangement according to claim 2, which the hole is provided with a slanting surface that urges the projection out of engagement with the hole when the battery is moved in a transverse direction within the receptacle.
8.
An arrangement according to claim 1, in which both the battery and the receptacle have a rectangular shape, and in which the transverse direction of permitted movement of the battery within the receptacle is parallel or substantially parallel to the longer sides of the rectangle
