## Abstract

A station for maintaining and electrically charging electric hair cutting devices has a housing with first and second sections and an internal space within the housing below the sections. The first section has multiple electrical charging docks which are affixed to that section, each of the charging docks being dedicated and configured to electrically charge a specific manufacturer's electric hair cutting device. The second section has multiple through openings, each of the through openings being configured to accept and circumscribe, a separable, removeable, independent charging dock of a manufacturer's electric hair cutting device. The internal space of the housing contains one or more electrical power strips with electrical wires which exit the housing and are configured to be connected to an electrical power source for supplying electricity to the charging docks.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A station for maintaining and electrically charging electric hair cutting devices such as electric shavers, hair clippers, and trimmers, said station comprising:
a housing comprising first and second sections and an internal space within the housing, the first section having multiple through openings and multiple electrical charging docks extending through the openings and affixed to said section, each charging dock dedicated and configured to electrically charge a specific manufacturer's electric hair cutting device, the second section having a resting pad on a top surface of the second section and multiple openings through the top surface, each of the through openings being configured to accept and circumscribe a separable, removeable, independent, charging dock which is not affixed to the second section, each charging dock being dedicated and configured to electrically charge a specific manufacturer's electric hair cutting device, and charging dock support trays located within the housing to support the charging docks in the first and second sections; wherein the internal space of the housing contains an electrical power strip having an electrical wire which exits the housing and is configured to be connected to an electrical power source for supplying electricity to each of the charging docks.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The station as in claim 1 wherein the charging docks affixed to the first section extend down into the internal space of the housing.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The station as in claim 2 wherein the first section is located on a level above the second section.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The station as in claim 1 wherein the first section is located on a level above the second section.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The station as in claim 1 wherein electrical wiring extends from each of the charging docks and is connected to the power strip.

### Claim 6 (depends on 3)

The station as in claim 3 wherein electrical wiring extends from each of the charging docks and is connected to the power strip.
