Interactive Charger for Simulating Electronic Device Charging

A toy telephone charger apparatus comprising:

• a housing;
• an elongated flexible cord;
• a magnetic coupling element;
• a switching element;
• an illumination element;
• a timing module;
• an audio output element;
• and
• a rechargeable battery;
• wherein said housing is cuboidal including rounded corners;
• wherein said housing comprising a top surface including a plurality of visual indicia selected from the group consisting of letters, numbers, geometric shapes, and colors;
• wherein said magnetic coupling element positioned at a free end of said elongated flexible cord;
• wherein said magnetic coupling element is configured to magnetically attach said elongated flexible cord between said housing and another device for simulating an electrical connection between said housing and said another device;
• wherein said magnetic coupling element is a rubberized magnet comprising a mixture of ferrite powder and rubber;
• wherein said switching element is disposed along an edge of said housing and is actuated to be operable between an “on” position and an “off” position;
• wherein when said switching element is in the “on” position, said switching element activates said illumination element and said timing module;
• wherein when said switching element is in the “off” position, said switching element deactivates said illumination element and said timing module;
• wherein the toy telephone charger apparatus when said magnetic coupling element is connected to said another device simulates the process of charging said another device by providing both visual feedback with said illumination element and auditory feedback with said audio output element;
• and
• further wherein when said switching element is activated said rechargeable battery provides electrical power and illuminates said housing with said illuminating element, and after a predetermined time interval said dynamic lighting effects are flashing lighting effects and said audio output element is an audible tune.

A method of simulating a telephone charger, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a housing, an elongated flexible cord, a magnetic coupling element, a switching element, an illumination element, a timing module, an audio output element, and a rechargeable battery, wherein said housing comprising a top surface including a plurality of visual indicia selected from the group consisting of letters, numbers, geometric shapes, and colors;
• positioning said magnetic coupling element at a free end of said elongated flexible cord;
• magnetically attaching said magnetic coupling element and said elongated flexible cord between said housing and another device for simulating an electrical connection between said housing and said another device, wherein said magnetic coupling element is a rubberized magnet comprising a mixture of ferrite powder and rubber;
• actuating said switching element to be operable between an “on” position and an “off” position, wherein when said switching element is in the “on” position, said switching element activates said illumination element and said timing module, wherein when said switching element is in the “off” position, said switching element deactivates said illumination element and said timing module;
• wherein the toy telephone charger apparatus when said magnetic coupling element is connected to said another device simulates the process of charging said another device by providing both visual feedback with said illumination element and auditory feedback with said audio output element;
• and
• further wherein when said switching element is activated said rechargeable battery provides electrical power and illuminates said housing with said illuminating element, and after a predetermined time interval said dynamic lighting effects are flashing lighting effects and said audio output element is an audible tune.
