Patent attributes
The charger includes a housing with a base wall opposite a face wall. A male electric power plug has prongs which extend from the face wall to connect to an AC power output receptacle. Intermediate walls extend from the base wall to the face wall including a top wall, a bottom wall and a pair of side walls. Lateral edges are located between the intermediate walls. A USB port, a cord, or other power outlet is located along at least one of these lateral edges, and in some embodiments multiple outlets extend from multiple edges. The charger can thus be utilized in one AC power output receptacle within an array of AC power output receptacles without blocking adjacent AC power output receptacles, and provide one or more sources of DC power to power and/or recharge portable electronic devices.
