Description
- The instant non-provisional patent application claims priority from provisional patent application No. 61/208,387, filed on Feb. 23, 2009, and incorporated herein by reference thereto.
- A. Field of the Invention
- The embodiments of the present invention relate to a portable docking station, and more particularly, the embodiments of the present invention relate to a portable docking station for powering multiple AC-powered battery chargers and multiple DC-powered battery chargers simultaneously.
- B. Description of the Prior Art
- Today, many people own many portable electronic devices having internal batteries. Each device requires that its internal battery be recharged via charging units, e.g., “chargers.” One person may have a mobile phone, a separate smart-phone/organizer like a Palm Pilot® or a Blackberry®, an iPod®, a digital camera, various lap tops, and/or other portable music players, each with its own charger and/or charging station.
- When people travel they often have multiple electronic devices and their corresponding chargers. A traveler not only faces the task of packing and organizing their chargers, but also of charging each device when they arrive at their destination. To make matters more difficult, there may not be enough accessible wall sockets at their destination, a hotel room, perhaps, to accommodate all devices at once.
- Numerous innovations for portable battery chargers have been provided in the prior art, which will be described below in chronological order to show advancement in the art, and which are incorporated herein by reference thereto. Even though these innovations may be suitable for the individual purposes to which they address, nevertheless, they differ from the embodiments of the present invention in that they do not teach a portable docking station for powering multiple AC-powered battery chargers and multiple DC-powered battery chargers simultaneously.
