Abstract
The invention relates to an accessory for use with mobile telephones. The accessory comprises a support body defining compartments within which mobile telephones and mobile telephone chargers can be held. The compartments for holding telephone chargers are each associated with a socket arrangement that can receive the contact pins of a telephone charger, all the socket arrangements being electrically connected with one another and being connectable to an electricity power supply. The accessory permits a plurality of mobile telephones to be simultaneously held therein and to be charged via their chargers from a single electricity power supply.
