Abstract

The dock with USB port is a compact and portable adapter. It has a substantially smaller form factor than the electronic device to be docked with it. The dock with USB port plugs into a USB port and provides an adjustable dock for an electronic device and a pass thru USB port that can be used by another electronic device. The dock with USB port comprises of a housing with a USB plug at one end and a USB port at the other end. A plug that extends from a small flange is provided in a concavity, which angles toward the USB plug, on a side of the housing. An adjustable support is provided adjacent to the concavity to support an electronic device.
