There are provided a mounting device and an imaging unit through which it is possible to easily perform various imaging techniques with an imaging device that cooperates with an information processing device according to cooperation between the devices. Provided is a mounting device that enables an imaging device configured to transmit an image to an external display device to be detachable from an external device, the mounting device including: a first mounting portion configured to be mounted on the imaging device; a second mounting portion configured to be mounted on the external device; and a rotation mechanism through which the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion are rotatable.

Mounting device and imaging unit

An electronic apparatus includes: a main body including a housing section that houses a battery; a lid attached to the main body to cover the housing section, the lid being adapted to perform state shift between a closed state and an open state; and a locking member attached to the main body, the locking member locking the lid both in the closed state and in the open state.

Electronic apparatus

An image capture apparatus includes an outer housing, a capturing lens, a slide cover, and a grip projection portion. The capturing lens is disposed on a front face of the outer housing. The slide cover is slidable relative to the outer housing between a closed position covering the capturing lens and an open position uncovering the capturing lens. The grip projection portion projects from the outer housing and includes a finger placing portion that allows a user to place fingers of a user. The finger placing portion is positioned frontwardly of the slide cover.

Image capture apparatus

An electronic apparatus is provided. A component part containing chamber provided in the inside of a case constituting an armor of an electronic apparatus is so configured that a rectangular plate-like battery can be mounted and dismounted via a rectangular first opening opened in the lower surface of the case. One side wall in the vicinity of the first opening is provided with a second opening, and a component part containing space communicated with the second opening is provided in the inside of the case. A holder is provided which includes a first plate portion detachably attached to the second opening to shut off the second opening, and a second plate portion projecting from the first plate portion and extending in the component part containing space in the condition where the first plate portion shuts off the second opening, and a separable body is contained in the component containing space together with the holder. By this configuration, it is possible to provide an electronic apparatus which is not impaired in appearance quality and in which the operation of removing the separable body such as a secondary battery and electrical component parts at the time of discarding the electronic apparatus can be easily carried out.

A battery pack securing mechanism for securing battery packs of varaying numbers of battery cells, a battery charger capable of charging the battery packs or an electronic equipment capable of using the battery packs. In a battery pack having the optional number of cells built therein, this terminal is provided in the same position as a terminal position wherein only one cell is accommodated within the battery pack. A charger and an electronic equipment using a pack have a pack securing section capable of securing battery a pack having at least two cells accommodating therein in parallel, and includes an engaging member for engaging at least one cell pack with the battery pack securing section and a connecting member connected to the positive and negative electrode terminals of the one cell pack and disposed at such a position that charging or discharging can be performed. Accordingly battery, packs accommodating different number of cells and of various arrangements and configurations can be used.
