Abstract
A novel charging interface for rechargeable devices is disclosed herein. The present charging interface has a male plug, formed from circuit board material, which electrically and slidably interconnects with a female socket in at least two orientations. The female socket has electrically conductive biasing means which retain the male plug within the female socket. The charging interface provides electrical contact between the master circuit board of a rechargeable device and a power source.
Claims18
A charging interface for providing electrical contact between a master circuit board of a rechargeable device and a power source, the charging interface comprising:
- a female socket;
- and
- a male plug, wherein the male plug is a circuit board configured to slidably and electrically interconnect with the female socket in at least two orientations;
- wherein one of the female socket and the male plug is in electrical contact with the master circuit board and the other of the male plug and the female socket is adapted to make electrical contact with the power source.
A rechargeable device having a master circuit board, the rechargeable device comprising one of a female socket and a male plug, wherein the male plug is a circuit board and the male plug and the female socket are configured to mutually slidably and electrically interconnect in at least two orientations, wherein the one of a female socket and a male plug is in electrical contact with the master circuit board.
A charging unit for connection to a power source, the charging unit comprising one of a female socket and a male plug, wherein the male plug is a circuit board and the male plug and the female socket are configured to mutually slidably and electrically interconnect in at least two orientations, wherein the one of a female socket and a male plug is adapted to make electrical contact with the power source.
