Abstract

An advertising device, having a charging base for charging multiple various electronic devices is provided. The advertising device includes a three dimensional advertising member; a base member configured for supporting the advertising member; a plurality of charging connectors disposed along the periphery of the base member; an illumination source disposed at an internal position of the base member; and a power distribution assembly for providing power to the illumination source and the plurality of charging connectors. In addition, the advertising device includes a notifying unit and a receiver fob associated with each charging connector.

Claims

1. An advertising device comprising:

An advertising member having a three-dimensional aspect;

a base member configured for supporting the advertising member;

a plurality of charging connectors disposed along the periphery of the base member; and

a power distribution assembly for providing power to the illumination source and the plurality of charging connectors.

2. The advertising device as in claim 1, further comprising an illumination source disposed at an internal position of the base member.

3. The advertising device as in claim 2, wherein the base member further comprises a portal through which light from the illumination source radiates into the translucent advertising member.

4. The advertising device as in claim 1, wherein the advertising member is a three-dimensional representation of a logo.

5. The advertising device as in claim 1, wherein the advertising member is a three-dimensional representation of a mascot.

6. The advertising device as in claim 1, wherein the power distribution assembly provides selectable charge voltages for each of the plurality of charging connectors.

7. The advertising device as in claim 1, wherein the plurality of charging connectors have changeable connector tips adapted to connect with multiple portable devices.

8. The advertising device as in claim 1, further comprising a notifying unit for providing a notification of a charge state of an associated device when the associated device is fully charged.

9. The advertising device as in claim 8, wherein the notifying unit includes a remote notification device for providing notification of the state of charge directly to an owner of the associated device.

10. The advertising device as in claim 9, wherein the remote notification device has an RF receiver and the base member has a transmitter with a communication range limited to a defined area.

11. The advertising device as in claim 9, wherein the remote notification device is a plurality of remote notification devices, each remote notification device is associated with a respective one of the plurality of charging connectors.

12. The advertising device as in claim 9, wherein the remote notification device emits a vibration and/or sound when the associated device is fully charged.

13. The advertising device as in claim 1, further comprising a rotation assembly for rotating the advertising member at a predetermined rate and direction.
