CHARGER FOR BATTERY PACK

摘要

This invention discloses a thin portable charger for charging a battery pack set in a communication device. An openable/closable cover (13) is fitted to a flat and rectangular main body (12) of this charger (10). When the cover is rotated with a shaft (23) and is closed, it covers charge terminals (20) provided to the main body, and the whole charger takes a flat and thin shape substantially equal to the shape of the main body. When the cover is opened, on the other hand, the cover is kept opened by support means (34, 35, 37). A portable telephone (15) placed on the main body can be kept erected because its back (25) is in contact with, and supported by, the cover. Accordingly, external terminals (30) of the portable telephone are brought into contact with the charge terminals, and the built-in battery pack (28) is charged while it is kept mounted.
