Claim Text:
1. Charger apparatus for charging a rechargeable device, comprising: a casing having a slim shape; AC pins for receiving AC voltage from an AC voltage source, said AC pins being rotatably coupled with said casing, said AC pins rotating from a stowed configuration in which said AC pins conform to the slim shape of said casing to a charging stance in which said AC pins extend normally posteriorly from said casing, in said stowed stance of said AC pins said AC pins rest in a respective niche within said casing; a charging circuit for transforming said AC voltage to DC voltage adapted for charging said rechargeable device; a floating base bar having a DC plug mounted thereon, said DC plug providing said DC voltage to a charging port of said rechargeable device, said floating base bar supporting said rechargeable device during charging, said floating base bar moving from a stowed configuration in which said floating base bar and said DC plug conform to the slim shape of said casing, to a charging stance in which floating said floating base bar projecting beyond said casing such that said DC plug is exposed from said casing, and such that said floating base bar can support said rechargeable device; and two flexible rails coupled with said casing, said floating base bar being mounted on said flexible rails, said DC plug being connected to said charging circuit via wiring running through at least one of said flexible rails and through said floating base bar, said flexible rails can be twisted for aligning said base bar to the direction of the pulling force applied by a user when disconnecting said rechargeable device from said charger.
