Abstract
An electronic apparatus of the invention comprises a case 10 which has a cell storing part 11 and has an engaging groove 11a formed in a side wall of an opening of the cell storing part as well as an engaging hollow 11b formed near the opening. A cell cover 20 having an engaging claw 21 formed is engaged with the engaging groove of the cell holding part. A locking plate which is a flexible plate-shaped member is fixed to the cell cover in its one end and is made free in the other end. When the cell cover is fitted onto the cell storing part, this locking plate is engaged with the engaging hollow 11b in its free end. By such a simple construction as this, it is possible to simply and securely lock the cell cover as well as to reduce the number of components and shorten the assembling time.
