Abstract

Abstract A portable telephone set includes a main section (1) thereof, an IC card (2), and a battery pack (3), which are removably connected to each other. The battery pack (3) has an L-shaped rib (5) to provide a slot in which the IC card (2) is inserted. When the IC card (2) is inserted in the slot, a side surface of the IC card (2) is brought into contact with a side surface of the battery pack (3) to be held therein in a unified form. In the combined state, a hook section (6) of the battery pack (3) held with the IC card (2) is engaged with an engaging section (8) of the main section (1). When the battery pack (3) is pushed downward, a depressed portion (7) of the battery pack (3) is engaged with a lock member (9) so as to fixedly attach the battery pack (3) onto the main section (1). The IC card (2) is pushed by the battery pack (3) and the main section (1) to be brought into contact with a connector (4) of the main section (1) so as to establish a stable connection therebetween. There is provided a small-sized, low-cost portable telephone set having improved operability of IC card installation and removal.
