  • Publication number: 20110009004
    Abstract: There is provided an electrical charger including a base unit and an adaptor unit. The base unit is configured for being coupled to an electronic device. The adaptor unit is configured for being coupled to a power supply. The base unit is configured to co-operate with the adaptor unit such that there is provided an electrically coupled state wherein the base unit is electrically coupled to the adaptor unit, and such that there is also provided an electrically uncoupled state wherein the base unit is electrically uncoupled from the adaptor unit. Effecting a change in state from one of the electrically coupled state or the electrically uncoupled state to the other one of the electrically coupled state and the electrically uncoupled state includes effecting rotation of the base unit relative to the adaptor unit. There is also provided an electrical charger including a base unit and an adaptor unit. The base unit is configured for being electrically coupled to an electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20110009005
    Abstract: There is provided an electrical charger including a charger assembly and a locking assembly. The charger assembly includes a base unit configured for being electrically coupled to an electronic device, and an adaptor unit configured for being electrically coupled to a power supply. The locking assembly includes at least one operative detent member. There is provided a locked state, wherein the base unit is disposed in an electrical coupling relationship with the adaptor unit and movement of the base unit relative to the adaptor unit, such that the base unit becomes disposed in an electrically uncoupled relationship with the adaptor unit, is resisted. There is also provided an unlocked state wherein the base unit is moveable relative to the adaptor unit.

  • Publication number: 20100288804
    Abstract: There is provided an apparatus for supporting a handheld electronic device including a holster and a clip. The holster defines a pocket for receiving a handheld electronic device and supporting the received handheld electronic device. The clip is coupled to the holster and is configured for movement between an open position and a gripping position and is biased towards the gripping position. In the open position, spacing is provided between the clip and the holster so as to receive an article. In the gripping position, the clip is disposed such that, when an article is disposed between the clip and the holster, the article is gripped by the clip against at least one gripping surface portion of the holster under the force effecting biasing of the clip towards the gripping position. When the clip is disposed in the gripping position, and a handheld electronic device is received and supported by the pocket, coupling of the handheld electronic device to the article is thereby effected.
