In a battery including a battery cell formed in a flattened substantially parallelepiped shape and a terminal contacting section electrically connected to the battery cell, at one end in the longitudinal direction of a face of the battery opposing to the face on which the terminal contacting section is provided, a projecting portion which projects in the longitudinal direction of the face is provided. Meanwhile, another projecting portion which projects in the longitudinal direction of the face is provided at the other end. The projecting portions may have projecting lengths different from each other or may have projecting lengths and projecting thicknesses different from each other. A charging apparatus into which the battery is to be installed includes an accommodating section for the battery which in turn includes projection accommodating portions configured to individually accommodate the projecting portions.

Battery, charging apparatus and electronic device

In a battery () including a battery cell formed in a flattened substantially parallelepiped shape and a terminal contacting section () electrically connected to the battery cell, at one end in the longitudinal direction of a face of the battery opposing to the face on which the terminal contacting section () is provided, a projecting portion () which projects in the longitudinal direction of the face is provided. Meanwhile, another projecting portion () which projects in the longitudinal direction of the face is provided at the other end. The projecting portions () may have projecting lengths different from each other or may have projecting lengths and projecting thicknesses different from each other. A charging apparatus into which the battery () is to be installed includes an accommodating section () for the battery () which in turn includes projection accommodating portions (and) configured to individually accommodate the projecting portions (and). The accommodating section () includes a space for accommodating a battery (D,E) wherein the battery cell has a rectangular principal face and another space for accommodating another battery () wherein the battery cell has a substantially square principal face, and charging terminals serve as charging terminals not only for the battery () but also for the battery (D,E).

A deflection yoke including a separator for holding a horizontal deflection coil and/or a vertical deflection coil, wherein the separator is formed by a combination of a separator main body formed into an approximately funnel shape similar to the contour of the horizontal deflection coil or the vertical deflection coil, and an approximately cylindrically shaped neck portion, formed separately from the separator main body, for holding the horizontal deflection coil and the vertical deflection coil on a neck of a cathode-ray tube. The deflection yoke is simpler in shape and easier to assemble.

A composite electronic apparatus consisting of a video and audio signal processing portion including image displaying circuits for displaying images based on a video signal and sound reproducing circuits for reproducing a sound based on an audio signal, a position detecting portion for conducting positional detection to produce position data representing a detected position, a data reproducing portion operative to read information from a record medium and to reproduce map data or video or audio data on the basis of the information read from the record medium, a data processing portion for causing the position data and the map data to be subjected to predetermined data processing, a video signal transmitting portion operative to produce a video signal for image display on the basis of the position data and the map data subjected to the predetermined data processing and to transmit the video signal for image display to the image displaying circuits so that images displayed by the image displaying circuits, and a cabinet for containing the video and audio signal processing portion, a part of the position detecting portion, the data reproducing portion, the data processing portion and the video signal transmitting portion and for supporting another part of the position detecting portion. The audio data reproduced by the data reproducing portion is selectively applied to sound reproduction by sound reproducing circuits in the video and audio signal processing portion.
