A consumer electronics charging device having a pair of rotatable blades, wherein the blades are rotatable from a deployed position in which ends of the blades are inserted into a standard wall outlet to a retracted position to decrease the overall thickness of the charger.
Claims23
1) A charging device, comprising:
- (a) a housing;
- (b) a plug unit in communication with the housing, the plug unit having:
- (i) a pair of blades, wherein the blades are positionable from a deployed position to a retracted position, the deployed position defined by ends of the blades oriented to be received by a wall outlet;
- and
- (ii) a mechanism for transitioning the blades from the retracted position to the deployed position;
- and
- (c) electrical circuitry operable to electrically connect the blades of the plug unit to a battery of a consumer electronics device.
