    [0001] The present invention relates to a charging device for mobile phones or other similar portable electronic devices. For the sake of simplification of the present description, only the term "telephone" will, for the most part, be used hereinafter.
    [0002] It would be useful for a service provider to be able to offer his customers to recharge their mobile phones for the time necessary to complete the service offered by this service provider, for example to a hotelier to allow his customers to recharge their mobile phones between two passes to the reception, or to a restaurateur to allow his customers to recharge their cell phones the time of a meal. The existence of several types of charging plugs according to the different types of phones makes it hardly possible to put this wish into practice; indeed, the service provider should have several types of chargers, and several copies of each type, which is not possible.
    [0003] The present invention aims to remedy this gap, by providing a recharging device for mobile phones that is adaptable to the different types of charging stations existing for different types of phones and easy to use by a provider or by any user.
    [0004] There is indeed a universal charger for mobile phones, including a plurality of connection wires equipped with different charging sockets, each socket corresponding to a type of charging socket existing on a type of telephone. This charger however does not achieve the above mentioned objective, being relatively difficult to use, not allowing to recharge at the same time two phones with the same type of charging socket, and involving a risk of mishandling by users. The charging device concerned comprises, in a manner known per se, a charger for mobile telephones or other similar portable electronic devices and a plurality of charging sockets corresponding to different types of recharging sockets existing on different types of telephones or telephones. similar devices. According to the invention, the charger is placed in a housing having an upper wall in which are arranged at least two connection cavities, and including connection terminals mounted on springs located in the bottom of each cavity; The device comprises a plurality of connection heads, each of which comprises a body able to be fitly engaged in any one of the connection cavities, this body comprising: on an upper side, a charging plug corresponding to a type of charging socket existing on a type of telephone or apparatus, 10 - on a lower side, connection terminals intended to come into connection with the connection terminals located in a cavity, and - on at least one lateral side a gripping surface; the device comprises, for each connection cavity, on at least one lateral side of the connection cavity, a locking member intended to cooperate with the corresponding engagement surface of a connection head, the coming of this connecting member; interlocking with said engagement surface for locking a connection head in a connection position in which said terminals are mutually connected and said springs are compressed, and the engagement of said locking member out of engagement with said gripping surface allowing the connection head to partially protrude out of the connection cavity; and the housing comprises, for each connection cavity, a button for controlling the locking member associated with this cavity, for actuating the locking member, the fitting engagement of the body of each connection head in a a connection cavity allowing a telephone or similar apparatus directly connected to the charging socket of this head to be held in an upright position relative to the upper surface of the housing, i.e., in a position substantially perpendicular to this surface, and the various connection cavities present on the housing being arranged at distances from each other such that there exists, around each cavity, sufficient space for a telephone or the like to be directly connected to the charging socket that includes a connection head engaged in one of the cavities.
    [0005] It will be understood that the terms "upper", "lower" and "lateral" are to be considered while the housing is in a state of service, placed on a surface, with its upper face facing upwards. The device according to the invention thus comprises a base box on which can be adapted indifferently several connection heads as required, that is to say according to the type of charging socket that includes the phone to recharge. In particular, a head comprising a micro-USB type socket will be chosen to recharge a phone comprising a charging socket of this type, and a head comprising an Apple® type socket will be chosen to recharge a phone of this brand. The owner of a given type of phone chooses the corresponding connection head and inserts it in a free cavity, until this head locks in said connection position, then directly plugs his phone into the socket that includes this head; the adjusted engagement of this head in the connection cavity allows the telephone to be kept erect on the housing and so it can be easily separated from the head after recharging. Alternatively, the owner of a type of phone can banch directly the plug that includes the chosen connection head to his phone and then engage only the body of the head in the cavity. When the phone is recharged, the user disconnects his phone from the connection head by simply pulling on the phone. Interchanging of a head is achieved by unlocking the head by action on said control button to bring the head into the position of partial projection out of the connection cavity, which allows easy grasping of the head in view of its withdrawal out of the cavity. With the possibility of directly connecting a telephone to a connection head, holding the telephone upright relative to the housing and the ease of entry of a head when the head is in a position of partial projection out of the connection cavity, the device according to the invention is easy to handle and allows to achieve perfectly the aforementioned objective. Preferably, each head comprises two gripping surfaces on two opposite lateral sides; the locking member associated with a cavity has a U-shaped shape whose free end portions of the lateral branches are located on two opposite lateral sides of the associated cavity and are thus able to come into contact with the surfaces of the cavity; plugs that includes a connection head; the locking member has an elastic flexibility such that these free end portions of the lateral branches are movable between a mutual approach position, in which said gripping surfaces are able to engage with these end portions, and a mutual removal position, in which these end portions are brought out of engagement with said engagement surfaces; and said control knob has opposed inclined surfaces forming ramps which bear against the side branches during a movement of the knob from an unpressed position to a depressed position, said inclined surfaces displacing the lateral branches of said position. approaching said mutually remote position, thereby releasing said end portions from said engagement surfaces. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, in this case, each lateral side of a connection head having said gripping surface is shaped to allow a coming of this surface engaged with the free end portion of the corresponding lateral snap-fitting branch, that is to say: - each gripping surface forms a shoulder substantially perpendicular to the direction of insertion of the connection head into one of the connection cavities, and - the part on the lateral side of the connection head located below this gripping surface is inclined so as to form a progressive separation ramp of said free end portion upon insertion of the head into the cavity. Thus, the locking of a connection head in the connection position in a cavity is achieved simply by snapping. Preferably, the housing comprises a drawer for storage of unused connection heads. Advantageously, in this case, the drawer has a bottom divided into compartments adjusted to the reception of the connection heads, allowing storage of these heads with the charging plugs clearly visible, that is to say with the heads held in position. horizontal or vertical position relative to the bottom of the drawer.
    [0006] The heads are thus stored neatly in the drawer, and the choice of a head adapted to a telephone is facilitated. The housing may comprise a stop / start button and / or at least one USB type socket (universal serial bus), to allow the charging of another device 5 can be recharged by means of such a socket. The invention will be better understood, and other features and advantages thereof will become apparent, with reference to the attached schematic drawing, showing, by way of non-limiting example, a preferred embodiment of the charging device concerned.
    [0007] Figure 1 is a perspective view thereof, in a version with four connection heads; Figure 2 is a plan view, from above, with one of the connection heads removed and representation of a locking member in broken lines, and with a drawer that includes the open position; Figure 3 is a bottom view; Figure 4 is an exploded perspective view of a connection head, a locking member and a control button that includes the device; Figure 4A is a view in a circle of a detail of Figure 4, on an enlarged scale; Figure 5 is a view of the head, locking member and button similar to Figure 4, in the mounting position and in the connecting position of the head; Figs. 6A to 6D are perspective views of four connection heads; and Fig. 7 is a view of a side connection head.
    [0008] Figures 1 to 3 show a charging device 1 for mobile telephones or other similar portable electronic devices, comprising a housing 2 and, in the exemplary embodiment shown, four types of connection heads 3. The housing 2 is intended to be placed on a surface and has for this purpose support pads 4. It comprises an upper wall 2a, a bottom wall 2b and side walls 2c. It contains a mobile phone charger assembly of known type placed therein and has four connecting cavities 5 provided in the upper wall 2a. The bottom of each cavity 5 is formed by a plate on which are fixed three connection terminals 6, electrically connected to the charger, the plate being mounted on springs interposed between itself and the bottom wall 2b. The different cavities 5 present on the casing 2 are at distances from each other such that there is sufficient space around each cavity for a mobile phone, or other similar portable device, to be directly connected to each other. a charging socket 3b that comprises a connection head 3 engaged in a cavity 5. Each cavity 5 is associated with a locking member 7 and a control button 8, shown in phantom in FIG. 2 for one of the cavities 5. As particularly visible in Figures 4 and 5, each locking member 7 has a U-shape, that is to say comprises two lateral branches 7a and a base branch 7b. Each lateral branch 7a is connected to the base branch 7b by a circular portion 7c, slightly elastically deformable. With these circular portions 7c, the free end portions of the side branches 7a are movable between a mutual approach position, shown in Figures 4 and 5, wherein the portions 7c are not deformed, and a position away mutual. With reference to FIG. 2, it appears that the locking member is arranged, with respect to the associated cavity 5, so that the free end portions of the side branches 7a are located on either side of the this cavity. In said normal position of mutual approximation, the free end portions of the branches 7a project on the inside of the cavity 5, as visible in this figure 2; in said position of mutual distance, these free end portions are brought out of the cavity 5.
    [0009] Each locking member 7 further has two walls 7d, one of which is connected to a branch 7a and the other to the other branch 7a, which project towards one another and which delimit a space between them. At this space, each wall 7d has an oblique edge 7e (see Figure 4A) forming a ramp spacing walls 7d from each other, as explained below.
    [0010] In addition, the free end portions of the side branches 7a have bevels 9 on their inner edges, i.e. on the edges of these branches 7a facing each other.
    [0011] The control knob 8 has a square base 8a with rounded edges, a central stud 8b, ratchet teeth 8c and side teeth 8d surmounted by inclined edges 8e. The base 8a forms a bottom face intended to be located at the lower face 2b of the housing 2 (see FIG. 3), which constitutes a surface by means of which the button 8 can be pressed towards the inside of the housing 2. The central stud 8b is intended to receive a spring (not shown) engaged on it, this spring bearing on the one hand against the base 8a and on the other hand against the upper wall 2a of the housing 2, and to recall the button 8 In the non-recessed position in the housing 2. The ratchet teeth 8c enable the button 8 to be mounted on the locking member 7. The lateral teeth 8d bear upper projections forming the inclined edges 8e. The latter are intended to cooperate with the inclined edges 7e of the walls 7d, as can be seen in FIG. 5. It appears in this FIG. 5 that, in the normal, non-depressed position of the button 8, the inclined edges 8e are simply at contact of the inclined edges 7e, which does not achieve the spacing of the branches 7a. When the button 8 is pushed into the interior of the housing 2, the edges 8e are pressed against the edges 7e and slide against them, which causes the displacement of the branches 8a to their aforementioned position of mutual distance. Referring again to Figure 2, it appears that the housing 2 also comprises a drawer 10 for storing unused connection heads 3. This drawer 10 has a front wall 10a and a bottom 10b. It is biased towards the open position shown in FIG. 2 by means of a spring and is held in the closed position by a well-known "core" cam system. With such a system, from the closed position, a thrust on the front wall 10a makes it possible to release the sliding of the slide 10 towards the open position, and, from this open position, a thrust on the front wall 10a allows the drawer 10 to be returned to the closed position.
    [0012] As can be seen in FIG. 2, the bottom 2b of the drawer 10 is divided into compartments 11 fitted to receive the heads 3 by ribs 12. These compartments 11 allow orderly storage of the heads 3, in which 3b charging sockets include these heads are well visible.
    [0013] In addition, the housing 2 comprises light indicators 15 illuminating when the heads 3 are connected to the charger. With reference to FIGS. 6A-6D, it appears that each head 3 comprises a body 3a, a charging socket 3b on an upper side, capable of being connected to the corresponding socket of a mobile phone or similar portable device , and two gripping surfaces 3c on two opposite lateral sides. Each head 3 also comprises, on its lower side, connection terminals intended to come into connection with the terminals 6 situated in a cavity 5. The body 3a is able to be engaged in any of the connection cavities 5, in a manner adjusted to the cavity 5, as can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2. This adjusted engagement allows a telephone or other similar device directly connected to the charging socket 3b that includes this head can be held in a position erected relative to the upper surface of the housing 2, that is to say in a position substantially perpendicular to this surface.
    [0014] The charging socket 3b varies from one head 3 to another: each of them corresponds to a type of charging socket existing on a type of telephone or apparatus; it is in particular of the micro-USB type with regard to the head 3 shown in FIG. 6A and of Apple® type with regard to the head 3 shown in FIG. 6D.
    [0015] Each engaging surface 3c is in the form of a shoulder substantially perpendicular to the direction of insertion of the head 3 into a cavity 5, and, as particularly visible in FIG. 7, the part 3d of the lateral side of the head 3 located below this gripping surface 3c is inclined so as to form a progressive separation ramp of the free end portion of the corresponding branch 7a during the insertion of the head 3 into the cavity 5. In practice, a user, when he wants to recharge a mobile phone or other similar portable electronic device, opens the drawer 10 and chooses the head 3 whose charging socket 3b corresponds to the device it owns, in particular the head 3 comprising a micro-USB-type socket 3b for recharging a telephone 30 comprising a charging plug of this type, and the head 3 comprising an Apple®-type socket 3b for recharging a telephone of this brand. The user inserts the chosen head 3 into a free cavity 5 until the surfaces 3c snap behind the free end portions of the lateral branches 7a of the locking member 7 and illuminate the control 15, which corresponds to the arrival of the respective terminals of the head 3 and the cavity 5 in the connection state. The user then directly plugs his phone into the socket 3b that includes this head; the adjusted engagement of this head in the cavity 5 allows the phone to be held erect 5 on the housing 2 and so it can be easily separated from the head 3 after recharging. Alternatively, the owner of a type of phone can banch directly the socket 3b that includes the head 3 chosen on his phone and then engage the head in the cavity 5. When the device is recharged, the user disconnects his phone from the head 3, by simply pulling on the phone.
    [0016] The interchange of a head 3 is achieved by unlocking the head by action on the button 8 to cause the springs urging the plate forming the bottom of the cavity 5 to relax and thus bring the head 3 into a position partial protrusion out of the cavity 5, which allows easy entry of the head 3 for its removal from the cavity; the removed head 3 can then be stored in the drawer 10.
    [0017] Thanks to the possibility of directly connecting a telephone to a head 3, the maintenance of this telephone in the erected position relative to the housing 2 and the ease of entry of a head 3 when the head is in a position of partial projection out of the cavity 5, the device 1 according to the invention is easy to handle. This device 1 is therefore fully adaptable to the different types of charging plugs existing according to the different types of telephones and is easy to use by a service provider or by any user.
