Shelf system for rechargeable electronic devices

Abstract

The invention is a shelf system for rechargeable electronic devices that has an electrical pole with a number of attachment points. Shelves connect to the attachment points and can pivot between a working position and a stored position. The electrical pole has a number of power ports with different features. For instance, one of the power ports is a 12 volt direct current (DC) port, commonly called a cigarette lighter port. Many travelers will have a 12 VDC plug and cable with them to charge their cell phone, MP3 player or computer. The shelf system also includes a standard electrical outlet in the electrical pole. In addition, the electrical port will have a USB port for those devices that are charged through a USB port. A USB hub is provided in the electrical pole to facilitate this feature.
