Patent ID: 7483272

Claim:
A multi source hand held power converter device comprising: a compact hand holdable housing; said compact hand holdable housing in having; a first electrical connector for connecting said inverter to a first external D.C. voltage source; a circuit assembly supported within said housing and electrically coupled to said first electrical connector to facilitate a connection to said first external D.C. power source, said circuit assembly comprising an inverter circuit equipped with electrical components for inverting said first external D.C. voltage source to an A.C. voltage source and an additional converter circuitry to convert said first external DC voltage source to a second lower voltage DC power source; an A.C. electrical outlet connected to said housing provided to facilitate a connection to an external A.C. power consuming device, said A.C. electrical outlet being powered by said A.C. voltage source when said first electrical connector is connected to said external D.C. power source; a DC electrical outlet connected to facilitate a connection to an external DC power consuming device, said DC electrical outlet being connected to and powered by said second lower voltage DC power source from said converter circuitry; and a pass through device having a pass through D.C. electrical outlet to facilitate a connection to and providing said first external D.C. voltage source to an external D.C. power consuming device when said first electrical connector is connected to said external D.C. power source, wherein said A.C. electric outlet, said pass through D.C. electrical outlet, and said D.C. electrical outlet being disposed side-by-side on a single surface of said housing.
