Abstract: A charging cradle for an electronic game device incorporating a rechargeable battery includes a housing having first and second surfaces with a peripheral edge wall therebetween, the housing forming a substantially closed interior chamber. At least one port is provided in the peripheral edge wall adapted to receive a charging wire connector, the port electrically connected to charging contacts supported within the closed interior chamber and movable from a normal retracted position to a use extended position where tips of the contacts project from the housing. An actuator button on the first surface is operatively connected to the pair of charging ports, such that upon engaging the electronic game device with the first surface, the button is depressed, causing the pair of charging contacts to move to the extended position to engage corresponding charging ports on a peripheral edge of the electronic game device.

Abstract: A charging cradle for an electronic game device incorporating a rechargeable battery includes a housing having a first surface and a second surface with a peripheral edge wall therebetween, the housing forming a substantially closed interior chamber. The first surface is adapted to engage the electronic game device. A least one port is provided in the peripheral edge wall adapted to receive a charging wire connector, the port electrically connected to a pair of charging contacts supported within the substantially closed interior chamber and movable from a normal retracted position where tips of the charging contacts are inside the housing to an in-use extended position where said tips project from the housing.
