Abstract

A belt battery charger includes a belt (10) having a first end (14), a second end (20) and an elongated central portion (12). A plurality of electrically connected rechargeable batteries (28, 30, 32) are carried by the central portion of the belt. A belt buckle (14) located at the first end of the belt includes a frame (16) and a prong (18) in the form of an electrical connector electrically connected to the batteries and pivotally secured to the frame. The second end of the belt includes a number of spaced apart eyelets (22, 24, 26) passing therethrough. The prong (18) is shaped so as to be able to enter one of the eyelets to secure the second end of the belt to the buckle. A second electrical connector (36) is located adjacent the second end of the belt and is also connected to the batteries.

Claims

1. A belt battery charger comprising:

a belt including a first end and a second end and an elongated central portion extending between said first and second ends;

a plurality of electrically connected rechargeable batteries carried by said central portion of said belt;

a belt buckle at said first end of said belt, said buckle including a frame secured to said central portion, said buckle further including a prong pivotally secured to said frame, said prong being in the form of an electrical connector electrically connected to said plurality of batteries, and

a plurality of spaced apart eyelets passing through said belt adjacent said second end thereof, said prong being shaped so as to be able to enter one of said eyelets to secured said second end of said belt to said buckle.

2. The belt battery charger as claimed in claim 1 further including a second electrical connector adjacent said second end of said belt, said second connector being connected to said batteries.

3. The belt battery charger as claimed in claim 2 wherein one of said electrical connectors is adapted to be connected to a cell phone for charging the cell phone.

4. The belt battery charger as claimed in claim 2 wherein one of said electrical connectors is adapted to be connected to an electrical outlet for charging said batteries.
