RECHARGEABLE IMPLEMENT AND RECHARGING BASE
First Claim
1. A recharger device comprising a recharging base unit and at least one rechargeable handheld implement, said base unit comprising:
- at least one orifice on at least one outwardly facing surface into each of which said rechargeable handheld implement is inserted for recharging, each of said orifice defining a closed periphery on said outwardly facing surface; and
male electrical prongs protruding from a rear surface of said base unit for insertion into a common two-socket electrical outlet for recharging, said base unit being shaped and said electrical prongs being positioned and oriented on said rear surface of said base unit such that when said recharger device is fitted, with proper orientation, into one of the two sockets of said electrical outlet, the other socket becomes available for access by other electrical instruments.

Abstract
The invention is a recharger device having an efficiently designed base charging unit and at least one rechargeable handheld implement, which also serves as an advertising means. The base unit has two electrical prongs on the rear surface and at least one orifice on at least one outer surface of the base unit, each of which lies completely within the surface where it lies. The base unit is shaped and the electrical prongs are positioned and oriented such that when the recharging base is inserted into one socket of a common two socket electrical outlet, the second socket is not blocked by the base unit, thereby permitting both sockets to be fully utilized.
