  • Patent number: 11171448
    Abstract: A pedestal type device that functions as anon-limiting example charger comprises a connection portion that is constituted by a connection plug and a cover. The cover is supported so as to be movable up and down through a second hole of a placement portion. Furthermore, a convex portion that is protruded toward a front side is provided in a center of a lower end portion of a rear support portion. Two first projections are formed on an upper surface of the cover, and a first hole is formed between them. The connection plug is supported so as to be movable up and down through a third hole. If the convex portion is fitted into a first concave portion formed in a rear surface of electronic device when the electronic device is placed on the placement portion, the first projections are respectively fitted into two third concave portions formed on an undersurface of the electronic device, whereby the cover is pushed down.

  • Patent number: 8804326
    Abstract: An example terminal device includes a housing, and a first terminal (e.g., a charging terminal). The housing is generally plate-shaped and includes an engagement hole formed therein. The first terminal is provided on a surface (e.g., a bottom surface) of the housing on which the engagement hole is formed. A stand, which is a support device, includes a support member, a second terminal (e.g., a charging terminal), and guide members which are rotating members. The second terminal can be connected to the first terminal of the terminal device. The support member supports a predetermined surface (e.g., a back surface) of the housing when the first terminal and the second terminal are connected to each other. Each of the guide members can rotate in a predetermined direction and is provided at such a position that it is received into the engagement hole when the first terminal and the second terminal are connected to each other.
