Abstract:
A charger and adapter interface assembly compatible with any mobile telephone whose rechargeable battery is recharged while in the mobile telephone, comprising:a charger element, the charger element having a male connecting member that has a specific size and shape that can be readily standardized, a freestanding adapter interface having a female cavity defined on a first side of said adapter interface that is able to removably receive the male connecting member so as to make the adapter interface electrically in contact with the charger element, the adapter interface having on a second side thereof a second male connecting member, said second male connecting member being uniquely compatible with a recess defined on a wall of a mobile telephone such that insertion of the second male connecting member into the recess places the rechargeable battery in the mobile telephone in electrical contact with the adapter interface, said recess being unique for a particular model of mobile telephone, said adapter interface being sufficiently lightweight that after insertion of the second male connecting member into the recess a weight of the adapter interface would not cause the adapter interface to disconnect from the mobile telephone regardless of the orientation of the mobile telephone and said adapter interface being sufficiently compact that said adapter interface does not interfere with a user holding and talking on the mobile telephone while the adapter interface is attached to the mobile telephone.
