Abstract

A charging device and associated electrical appliances are provided. More than one electronic device can be charged simultaneously, with a wireless charging option available. Thus, the user has greater flexibility in selecting the desired charging option. Each associated appliance has a receiving compartment to hold the charging device, and the receiving compartment is configured with at least one first terminal. The charging device has at least one electrical interface for cable connection, a wireless charging transmitter, and at least one second terminal for mating electrically to the first terminal.

Claims
