Claim:
1. A charging and powering device comprising: a first disc member having a front side, a rear side, and a continuous outer wall disposed between the front and rear sides; a hollow cylindrical housing attached to the first disc member, the housing having a forward end centrally disposed on the rear side, a rearward end, and an external wall continuously disposed between the forward and rearward ends, wherein the housing has a smaller diameter than a diameter of the housing; a continuous channel centrally disposed in the outer wall of the first disc member; a port disposed within the housing external wall; an AC-DC transformer disposed within the housing; a charging-powering cord in operational communication with the AC-DC transformer and extending from the AC-DC transformer within the housing through the port, the charging-powering cord rotationally securable to the housing; each of an AC plug and a DC accessory plug in operational communication with the AC-DC transformer, wherein the DC accessory plug is disposed on an exterior end of the charging-powering cord in a position exterior to the port in the external wall, wherein the AC plug has a pair of prongs; a pair of parallel spaced apart substantially rectangular cutouts centrally disposed in one of the front side of the first disc member and an outside face of a second disc member, wherein the prongs of the AC plug are pivotably disposed within the cutouts to pivot from within the respective cutout in a position perpendicular to the housing to exterior relative the respective cutout in a position substantially coplanar with the housing; and an electrical contact disposed directly adjacent each prong, wherein the AC-DC transformer is in operational communication with each of the electrical contacts via a connector; wherein the charging-powering cord has a first condition and a second condition, wherein in the first condition, the charging-powering cord is securable continuously around the external wall of the housing and wherein in the second condition, the charging-powering cord is securable continuously around a ratcheting, self-retracting reel disposed within the housing via a ratcheting mechanism.
