MOTION-ACTUATED PORTABLE CHARGER
First Claim
1. A portable charger unit for recharging at least one electronic device having a rechargeable internal battery, said portable charger unit comprising:
- a charger housing internally storing a rechargeable battery;
a power input port operatively connected to the internal battery for providing an electrical charge from an external power source to the charger unit and for recharging the internal battery when the charger unit is connected to said power source;
at least one power output port; and
a first switch operatively connecting the power output port with the internal battery for providing an electrical charge from the internal battery to an electronic device when said electronic device is connected to the charger unit via the output port, said switch being operable between a first position in which the power output port is not connected with the internal battery and a second position in which the power output port is connected with the internal battery, said switch being operable by an actuating motion of the portable charger unit.

Abstract
A portable charger unit includes a charger housing that encloses a power input, at least one power output, and a rechargeable battery. The rechargeable battery is operatively connected with the power input (for providing an electrical charge from an external power source for recharging the internal battery when the charge unit is connected to the power source) and the at least one power output (for charging other electronic devices from the rechargeable battery). The charger unit also includes connector means capable of connecting two or more electronic devices to the charger unit via at least one output port. The charger unit can be actuated to initiate charging of an electronic device connected with the output port, by an actuating motion of the charger unit, such as a shaking motion.
