Benefits of technology

[0013]The instant disclosure presents the following advantages. First, the charging device can charge one or more electronic device via the electrical interface, and also provides wireless charging to an electronic device having a wireless charging receiver. Second, a bad charging device can be discarded from the electrical appliance body for replacement purpose. Similarly, the wireless charging transmitter can be replaced separately from the charging device also. For cost-effectiveness, the electrical appliance itself can be saved by only replacing the bad charging device or transmitter.

Problems solved by technology

However, the use of cables can cause inconvenience to the users.
However, the transformer can not perform wireless charging.

first embodiment

[0024]For the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a composite power strip has a housing 1, which includes a body 11 having at least one electrical outlet 12 and an on / off switch 13. The electrical outlet 12 has slots 121 and a conductive strip therein (not shown). The electrical outlet 12 is not restricted in type and can be any electrical connector. A power cord 14 is electrically connected to the electrical outlet 12 for propagating electrical current from the power source to the electrical outlet 12. A charging device 2 is removably attached to a receiving compartment 15 formed upon the body 11. The receiving compartment 15 is sized according to the dimensional aspect of the charging device 2. The receiving compartment 15 has at least one first terminal 16 for mating electrically to an at least one second terminal 23 on the charging device 2. The first terminal 16 can be located on the side or bottom surface of the receiving compartment 15 and is connected electrically to th...

second embodiment

[0028]To secure the electronic device on the charging device 2 while charging, the charging device 2 can further include at least one magnetic member 24 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 for a While the electronic device is placed on the charging device 2, the magnetized charging device 2 will attract the electronic device having an outer casing made of magnetic material to better secure the electronic device while charging.

third embodiment

[0029]In a third embodiment as shown in FIG. 7, the power strip can further include a support plate 17. Namely, the body 11 of the housing 1 comprises the hinged support plate 17 that radially releases for resting the electronic device 3.

Abstract

A charging device and associated electrical appliances are provided. More than one electronic device can be charged simultaneously, with a wireless charging option available. Thus, the user has greater flexibility in selecting the desired charging option. Each associated appliance has a receiving compartment to hold the charging device, and the receiving compartment is configured with at least one first terminal. The charging device has at least one electrical interface for cable connection, a wireless charging transmitter, and at least one second terminal for mating electrically to the first terminal.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The instant disclosure relates to a charging device and associated electrical appliances; in particular, a charging device and associated composite power strip, composite wall outlet assembly, and composite lighting structure.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Utility power is often accessed through wall sockets. When portable electronics such as mobile phones, digital cameras, and PDAs (Personal Digital Assistant) need to be recharged, a charger is plugged into an electrical outlet to charge the mobile devices.[0005]However, the use of cables can cause inconvenience to the users. Wireless charging would eliminate the need for cable connections.[0006]In the Taiwan Publication No. 592378, titled “Universal Serial Bus Transformer”, the inventor previously disclosed a transformer that supplies standard power source. The user would not require to purchase device-specific transformers. However, the transformer can ...
