Abstract
In a battery housing for a camera of the present invention, when a rotatable rotary member included in a battery cover is engaged with projections of a battery casing formed in a camera body, the battery cover is mounted. Unlike a conventional battery cover, claw members or other members dedicated for holding a battery cover are unnecessary. Therefore, the battery housing of the present invention can be constructed with a limited number of parts. Moreover, the shapes of members employed are simple, which upgrades cost-effectiveness.
