The disclosure and prior art relates to charging case devices and more particularly pertains to a new charging case device for carrying and charging a plurality of electronic devices.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a case that has a terraced interior thereby defining a plurality of storage areas within the case. Each of the storage areas can contain an electronic device that has dimensions corresponding to a respective one of the storage areas. A plurality of charge ports is each positioned within the case and each of the charge ports is positioned in a respective one of the storage areas. In this way each of the charge ports can be placed in electrical communication with the electronic devices in each of the storage areas for charging the electronic device positioned in each of the storage areas.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
A lid 28 is hingedly coupled to the case 12 for opening and closing the case 12. The lid 28 lies on the top wall 18 of the case 12 when the lid 28 is positioned in a closed position. A first mating member 30 is coupled to the top wall 18 of the case 12 and a second mating member 32 is coupled to a bottom surface of the lid 28. The second mating member 32 releasably engages the first mating member 30 for retaining the lid 28 in the closed position. Each of the first 30 and second 32 mating members may comprise a hook and loop fastener or the like.
A plurality of charge ports 34 is each positioned within the case 12. Each of the charge ports 34 is positioned in a respective one of the storage areas 14. In this way each of the charge ports 34 can be placed in electrical communication with the electronic devices 16 positioned in the case 12 area for charging the electronic devices 16. Moreover, each of the charge ports 34 is recessed into the lower bounding surface 24 of a topmost one of the wells 36. Each of the charge ports 34 may comprise a usb port or other type of electrical port that corresponds to the type of charge port compatible with the electronic devices 16.
A power supply 38 is coupled to the case 12 and the power supply 38 is electrically coupled to each of the charge ports 34. In this way the power supply 38 delivers electrical current to the electronic devices 16 that are plugged into the charge ports 34. The power supply 38 comprises at least one rechargeable battery 40 that is positioned within the case 12. The at least one rechargeable battery 40 is electrically coupled to each of the charge ports 34.
A power cord 42 is coupled to and extends outwardly from the case 12. The power cord 42 is electrically coupled to the at least one rechargeable battery 40 and the power cord 42 has a distal end 44 with respect to the case 12. The distal end 44 has a male plug 46 that is electrically coupled thereto. The male plug 46 can be electrically coupled to a power source 48 comprising a female electrical outlet for charging the at least one rechargeable battery 40. In an alternative embodiment 50 that is most clearly shown in
In use, each of the electronic devices 16 is positioned in one of the wells 22 that has dimensions that correspond to the dimensions of a respective one of the electronic devices 16. In this way the case 12 can securely carry a plurality of electronic devices 16 that have varying dimensions. Each of the electronic devices 16 can be plugged into a respective one of the charge ports 34 when the electronic devices 16 are positioned in the case 12. In this way each of the electronic devices 16 can be charged with the electronic devices 16 are being carried in the case 12. The power cord 42 can be plugged into the power source 48 for recharging the at least one rechargeable battery 40.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
