RECONFIGURABLE ENERGY STORAGE AND POWER SUPPLY DEVICE

摘要

A charging device includes a body having a rechargeable energy storage device and a housing, an interface pivotally coupled to the housing, the interface including a first conductor and a second conductor and configured to transmit power between the rechargeable energy storage device and a device connected to the interface, a first rigid post, a first pin, a first compressible element positioned to press the first pin against the first rigid post, a second rigid post, a second pin, and a second compressible element positioned to press the second pin against the second rigid post. The interface is configured to pivot about an axis defined by the first pin and the second pin.

1. A charging device comprising:
a body comprising a rechargeable energy storage device and a housing; an interface pivotally coupled to the housing, the interface comprising a first conductor and a second conductor and configured to transmit power between the rechargeable energy storage device and a device connected to the interface; a first rigid post coupled to a first contact associated with the rechargeable energy storage device; a first pin configured to couple the first rigid post to the first conductor of the interface such that the first pin and the first rigid post provide a conductive path from the first conductor of the interface to the first contact; a first compressible element positioned to press the first pin against the first rigid post; a second rigid post coupled to a second contact associated with the rechargeable energy storage device; a second pin configured to couple the second rigid post to the second conductor of the interface such that the second pin and the second rigid post provide a conductive path from the second conductor of the interface to the second contact; a second compressible element positioned to press the second pin against the second rigid post, wherein the interface is configured to pivot about an axis defined by the first pin and the second pin.
