Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the stop of electric power supply from a cell at the replacement of the cell by supplying a power from a cell through a belt-like terminal and replacing the cell so as that at first a new cell is inserted in the cell case and the old cell is pulled out after the completion of the electric contact of the new cell to the belt-like terminal. CONSTITUTION:A cell 6 is enclosed in a cell case 5 at a proper position by locking a lock groove 8 and a lock nail 10, and the cell terminal 7 of the cell 6 is electrically contacted to a belt-like power supply terminal 9. while keeping this situation, a new cell 11 is inserted in the cell case 5. At that time the cell terminal 7' of the new cell 11 is connected to the power supply terminal 9 projecting behind the old cell 6 in parallel to the cell terminal 7 of the old cell 6. Then the locking of the lock groove 8 of the old cell 6 and the lock nail 10 of the cell case 5 is released, and the new cell 11 is pushed in to complete the replacement of the cell. Thereby the replacement of the cell can be carried while supplying the power from the old cell without discontinuity of the power supply.
