Electrical charging devices with translating stabilizers
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a cradle configured to receive and retain an electronic device;
an electronics sub-assembly comprising;
a housing, wherein the housing comprises laterally positioned tubular guides;
an electrical conductor that protrudes forwardly from the housing; and
a circuit within the housing that processes an electrical charge received through the electrical conductor;
means for electrically coupling the electronics sub-assembly with the electronic device; and
a stabilizer comprising armatures, the armatures being slidingly received within the tubular guides of the housing for storage, further wherein the armatures extend from the tubular guides and pivot downwardly.
