Abstract
An electronic apparatus includes an outer housing; a battery storage compartment provided in the outer housing and having a height and a width and depth larger than the height; a cover for opening and closing an opening of the battery storage compartment; and a battery ejecting spring disposed in a deep portion of the battery storage compartment and for urging a battery being stored in the battery storage compartment along a direction of ejection of the battery from the opening. The battery ejecting spring includes a pivot shaft, an anchor shaft, and an urging shaft. The pivot shaft extends along the width direction. The anchor shaft stops the rotation of the one end portion of the pivot shaft. The urging shaft includes a tip end engaging with an end face of the battery, thereby to perform a pivotal movement about the pivot shaft working as a fulcrum.
