1. A mobile device charger, comprising:
- a main body having embedded therein a charging circuit configured to receive a line AC voltage and convert it to a DC voltage suitable for charging the mobile device;
AC prongs foldable into the body in a stowed position and configured to be pivoted out of the main body in an operable position;
a connection structure formed integrally with the main body, the connection structure extends from the main body and is configured to grasp onto and hold the charger secured to the mobile device;
a charger plug integrally formed with the charger and located on the charger such as to allow the charger plug to be inserted into a charging port of the mobile device, the charger being so configured as to enable it to be connected physically and electrically to the mobile device during the use of the mobile device and to allow the AC prongs to be positioned in the operable position for charging of the mobile device, while the charger is physically integrated with the mobile device; and
an operating knob is actuatable by the user and configured to raise the AC prongs from the stowed position.

Abstract
A cell phone charger comprises a main body having embedded therein a charging circuit configured to receive line AC voltage and to convert it to a DC voltage suitable for charging the mobile device. AC prongs fold into the body in a stowed position and a connection structure formed integrally with the main body grasps onto and holds the charger secured to the cell phone device. In a preferred embodiment, the AC prongs pivot independently and lie flat against an outside surface of the main body.
