Abstract

A unit to hold a mobile telephone its charging/transformer and flex together tidily holding and connecting them onto a mains electrical socket, through the holes in the reversible backplate (3). The reversible backplate (1) and the mobile telephone holder (2) are two separate components allowing the unit to be plugged on any side of a mains electrical socket.

Description

Mobile Telephone and Charger Tidy
This invention relates to a unit to hold a mobile telephone its charging/transformer unit and the electrical flex together tidily whilst the telephone is being charged in a domestic electrical socket.
Mobile telephones are sold with a charging transformer unit to recharge the battery when it becomes discharged, this is carried out by plugging the transformer,, into a mains electrical socket, the flex connected to it, with a proprietary plug on the end, into the mobile telephone. This flex can be up to 2 metres long, if the mobile telephone is being charged on the floor, table or counter top, the surplus cable and telephone are untidy, taking up unnecessary space or posing a potential hazard if strewn on the floor.
According to the present invention there is provided two plastic component parts, the first component part being a reversible backplate through which an electrical plug of a charging/transformer unit of a mobile telephone passes, holding and connecting the reversible backplate onto an electrical socket, the second component part being a mobile telephone holder, the reversible backplate having two slots into which flex of the charging/transformer unit may be wound.
As it is reversible it can be located on any side of an electrical socket. On which face of the reversible backplate, the mobile telephone holder is attached, determines what side of the electrical socket the mobile telephone tidy is connected. With the flex wound around the two slots in the reversible backplate, the proprietary plug on the end of it can be plugged through the bottom of the mobile telephone holder into the mobile telephone. Once the telephone is fully charged the mobile telephone tidy provides a convenient place to store the charging/transformer unit, its flex and the mobile telephone when it is not in use.
A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing in which:-
Figure 1 shows a perspective of the two separated component parts prior to assembly
Figure 2 shows a perspective, of the two plastic component parts assembled together ready for use:
Figure 3 shows a front elevation
Figure 4 shows a plan view
Figure 5 shows a right hand side elevation
Figure 6 shows a left hand side elevation

Claims

A mobile telephone tidy comprising two plastic component parts, the first component part being a reversible backplate through which an electrical plug of a charging/transformer unit of a mobile telephone passes, holding and connecting the reversible backplate onto an electrical socket, the second component part being a mobile telephone holder, the reversible backplate having two slots into which flex of the charging/transformer unit may be wound.
A mobile telephone tidy as claimed in claim 1 is reversible it can be located on any side of an electrical socket
A mobile telephone tidy as claimed in claim 2 where the backplate has the facility to wind excess flex around it into two slots.
A mobile telephone tidy as claimed in claim 3 where the proprietary plug on the end of the charger/transformer flex can be connected to the telephone through the second component part, the mobile telephone holder.
A mobile telephone tidy as claimed in claim 4 where the mobile telephone holder attaches to either of the two faces of reversible backplate, which determines which side of the power socket the mobile telephone tidy is located.
A mobile telephone tidy as claimed in claim 5 to hold a mobile telephone its charging/transformer unit and flex tidily together whilst its battery is being recharged.
A mobile telephone tidy as claimed in claim 6 where the telephone holder and reversible backplate, once located in an electrical socket, stores the mobile telephone and the charging/tranformer unit when not in use.
A mobile telephone tidy substantially as herein described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
