Systems and methods for a power adapter for mobile devices

摘要

A power adapter for mobile devices may include an alternating current to direct current (AC/DC) converter. The AC/DC converter may convert electric power from a power source. The power adapter may include a housing enclosing the AC/DC converter. The power adapter may include a power plug extending from the housing along a first axis. The power adapter may include a Universal Serial Bus (USB) plug extending from the housing along the first axis and on an opposite end of the housing from the power plug. The power adapter may include a device charging plug pivotally coupled to the housing.

1. A power adapter apparatus for creating an electrical connection between a power source and a mobile device, the apparatus comprising:
an alternating current to direct current (AC/DC) converter, wherein the AC/DC converter converts electric power from a power source; a housing enclosing the AC/DC converter; a device charging plug coupled to a first surface of the housing; and a power plug coupled to a second surface of the housing,
wherein the power plug is a first plug extending from the housing along a first axis,wherein the device charging plug is a second plug moveable between an extended position along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis and a recessed position along the first axis within a channel of the housing, and wherein the device charging plug is rotationally coupled to the housing,wherein the device charging plug is configured to be coupled to a charging port associated with a mobile device to provide power to the battery of the mobile device from the power source connected to the power adapter, andwherein the power adapter apparatus is maintained in a first elevated position above an external surface when the power plug is coupled to the power source and the second surface is adapted to at least partially support the mobile device in a second elevated position above the external surface when the charging port of the mobile device is coupled to the device charging plug and the power adapter apparatus is in the first elevated position, and a Universal Serial Bus (USB) plug extending from the housing along the first axis and on an opposite end of the housing from the first plug.
