The present invention relates to a locking arrangement for a cover structure of a portable terminal device of a telecommunication system. The cover structure comprises at least one frame part (), a cover part () connected to the frame part that can be removed from the frame part by the user, and locking elements for attaching the cover part to the frame part. In order that one could achieve a secure attachment and locking for the accumulator cover or accumulator packet of the device that at the same time enables the eliminating of the excessive clearances between the can parts, the locking elements comprise, in the frame part and cover part, slide bars () and slide grooves () corresponding to each other.

Locking arrangement for a cover part of a subscriber terminal device

The present invention relates to a locking arrangement for a terminal device of a telecommunication system. To improve the operating reliability of the terminal device, the attachment and locking of the structural elements changeable by the user to the rest of the device structure is improved by a locking device which consists of a solid piece () to be fitted into the terminal device in the different places of the frame part of which one has formed separate spring-like locking elements, each of which functions as a locking device of some structural element of this kind of the terminal device. The first spring-like locking element () may e.g. be adapted to lock the accumulator of the terminal device to the accumulator space reserved for it, and the second locking element () to lock the smart card of the terminal device to the space reserved for it in the terminal device. In the same locking piece there may also be locking elements () for locking the accumulator cover in place.
