A battery locking apparatus comprising a channel formed at a bottom surface of a battery receiving cavity of the personnal computer main body, a battery locking means disposed slidably therein and a spring member, wherein the locking means includes a movable body with a strut for supporting the spring member, a knob united with the body, a protrusion formed at the top surface of the knob, and a pair of supporting members respectively provided at both sides of the body to retain the locking means in the channel. A battery housing adapted to the battery locking apparatus comprises a right-angled triangular segment formed at the bottom surface thereof. As the battery is inserted into the cavity, the protrusion contacts with the segment to be moved along the oblique side of the segment, whereby the locking means is caused to move against the spring force from the locking position to the releasing position, which allows the battery to be received in the cavity. As the base of the segment is passed the protrusion, the locking means returns to the original locking position to hold the inserted battery in the cavity.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a battery locking apparatus for compaction of a portable personal computer (PC).
Another object of the present invention is to provide a battery housing adapted to the battery locking apparatus according to the present invention.
In order to accomplish the above objects, in accordance with the present invention, there is provided a battery locking apparatus for portable PC, comprising a channel formed at a bottom surface of the battery receiving cavity of the portable PC main body, a battery locking means slidably disposed between the locking and releasing positions in the channel, a spring member provided in the channel for resilient movement of the battery locking means, wherein the battery locking means includes a movable body disposed in the channel, having a strut which supports the spring member, an outwardly exposed knob united with the body, a protrusion formed at a top surface of the knob, and a pair of supporting members provided at both sides of the body to retain the locking means in the channel.
Also according to the present invention, there is provided a battery housing adapted to the battery locking apparatus of the present invention, including a right-angled triangular segment formed at the bottom surface thereof, which cooperates with the protrusion of the knob to lock the battery in the receiving cavity.
The above objects and advantages according to the present invention will be apparent upon consideration of the specification, claims and drawings.
