Claim:
A charge clip for charging and supporting an electrical device thereon, the charge clip being pluggable into an AC wall outlet having power slots, which comprises: a main body, the main body having an upper portion defining a cradle for at least partially receiving and supporting therein the electrical device, the main body having a continuous internal wall completely encircled within the main body and further having formed therein an aperture defined by the completely encircled internal wall; and a power plug, the power plug including an outer housing having a rear surface and a front surface situated opposite the rear surface, and a continuous side wall extending between the rear surface and the front surface, the power plug having AC power prongs extending from the rear surface thereof which are receivable by corresponding power slots of the AC wall outlet so that the charge clip is mountable to the AC wall outlet in a desired orientation, the power plug further having a power outlet situated on the front surface thereof on which power is provided for providing the power to the electrical device, the aperture formed in the main body being dimensioned and shaped to fully receive the outer housing of the power plug such that the continuous internal wall of the main body fully encircles and faces the continuous side wall of the outer housing of the power plug, the outer housing of the power plug being fully receivable by the aperture of the main body and being repositionable with respect to the main body between at least a first orientation and a second orientation, the power plug being removable from and reinsertable in the aperture of the main body in order to reposition the power plug with respect to the main body between the at least first orientation and the second orientation; wherein at least one of the internal wall of the main body defining the aperture and the side wall of the outer housing of the power plug includes four ribs extending outwardly therefrom, adjacent ribs being spaced apart from one another by ninety degrees, and wherein at least the other of the internal wall of the main body defining the aperture and the side wall of the outer housing of the power plug includes four notches formed therein, adjacent notches being spaced apart from one another by ninety degrees, the ribs being receivable by corresponding notches to selectively maintain the position of the power plug with respect to the main body in at least one of the at least first orientation and the second orientation and to prevent the rotation of the power plug within the aperture of the main body in a clockwise direction and a counterclockwise direction.
