Abstract
An optical disc reproduction apparatus as electronic apparatus comprises a lock lever for keeping a battery pack attached to a case. The lock lever comprises a lever body and a tongue portion extending from the lever body in a length direction of the lever body. A tongue portion of the lock lever is inserted into the case through an operation opening of the case. The tongue portion is allowed to temporarily escape to a tongue portion escape section of the case, and the entire lever body is housed in the case through the operation opening, so as to assemble the lock lever to the case. This prevents ends of the lever body from being exposed to the operation opening in any position of the lock lever assembled to the case, making it possible to easily assemble the lock lever, and preventing the assembled lock lever from easily falling off.
