An integral hang-up and battery charging apparatus which integrates the hang-up and battery charging mechanisms whereby the portable unit (101) may be coupled to the base unit (103) over a wide range of motion in both a horizontal and vertical mounting configuration. The portable unit (101) includes first and second conductive contacts (119, 120) disposed on the portable unit (101) essentially opposite each other, and rechargeable energy storage device (131) electrically coupled to the first and second conductive contacts (119, 120). The base unit (103) includes an indentation (124) formed in the base unit (103) and having a receiving surface shaped to receive at least a portion of the portable unit (101), first and second conductive protrusions (127, 129) extending outwardly beyond the receiving surface essentially opposite each other, and energy source device (131) electrically connected to the first and second conductive protrusions (127, 129). <IMAGE> |
