BATTERY STAND

A battery stand is configured to output an electric power stored in a battery to the outside when the battery is placed on a mounting part. A slit hole is formed on the top surface of the battery stand through which a slider is inserted and through which a movement range of the slider is regulated. The battery stand is linked to the movement of the slider and is equipped with a holding mechanism to secure the battery. The battery stand is equipped with a shielding member that shields the slit hole. The shielding member is attached to the slider and moves with the slider while maintaining the slit hole shielded.
