Abstract

A mobile power pedestal (10), particularly for support and electrical powering of a laptop or portable computer, comprising a wheeled housing (11) having a handle (16) adapted for engagement by an operator. The housing (11) mounts thereon an upwardly-facing support tray (19) adapted to permit the computer to be disposed thereon. A battery (21) is mounted on the housing (11). A charger (22) is mounted on the housing (11) and connected to the battery (21). A power cable (24) is connectable to the charger (22) and has an outer plug end adapted for connection to a conventional electrical outlet (34) for supply of 115-volt AC electrical electricity. A power strip (33) is provided on the housing (11) and defines thereon at least one conventional 115-volt AC electrical outlet for accommodating a conventional prong-type electrical plug (26), and a DC/AC invertor (31) is connected between the battery (21) and the power strip (33), whereby a power cord (25) associated with the computer as mounted on the support tray (19) can be plugged into the outlet (34).
