Abstract

A portable power supply assembly includes a housing that has a pair of electrical sockets positioned thereon and the electrical sockets may be electrically coupled to an external electronic device. A cord is positioned within the housing and the cord is electrically coupled to the electrical sockets. The cord has a distal end with respect to the housing and the distal end has a male plug electrically coupled thereto. The male plug may be electrically coupled to a power source to supply the external electrical device with power. A power supply apparatus is positioned within the housing and the power supply apparatus is electrically coupled to the electrical sockets. The power supply apparatus may be electrically coupled to the power source wherein the power supply apparatus is charged. The power source may provide power to the external electronic device when the cord cannot be electrically coupled to the power source.

Claims

1. A portable power supply assembly configured to provide power for an electronic device in a remote location, said assembly comprising:

a housing having a pair of electrical sockets positioned thereon, said electrical sockets being configured to be electrically coupled to an external electronic device;

a cord positioned within said housing, said cord being electrically coupled to said electrical sockets, said cord having a distal end with respect to said housing, said distal end having a male plug electrically coupled thereto, said male plug being configured to be electrically coupled to a power source to supply the external electrical device with power;

a power supply apparatus positioned within said housing, said power supply apparatus being electrically coupled to said electrical sockets, said power supply apparatus being configured to be electrically coupled to the power source wherein said power supply apparatus is charged, said power source being configured to provide power to the external electronic device when said cord cannot be electrically coupled to the power source.

2. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein said housing has a top wall, a bottom wall and a peripheral wall attached to and extending between said top wall and said bottom wall, said bottom wall having a well extending upwardly therein, said top wall.

3. The assembly according to claim 1, further comprising a spool positioned within said housing, said spool being biased to rotate in a retracting direction, said spool being urgeable to rotate in a releasing direction, said cord being coupled to and wrapped around said spool, said cord being selectively drawn outwardly from said spool such that said cord extends outwardly from a peripheral wall of said housing when said spool is urged to rotate in said releasing direction, said cord being selectively retracted into said housing when said spool rotates in said retracting direction.

4. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein said power supply apparatus comprises a control circuit positioned within said housing, said control circuit being electrically coupled to said electrical sockets, said control circuit converting a DC voltage to an AC voltage.

5. The assembly according to claim 4, further comprising:

said housing having a well; and

a battery being removably positioned within said well, said battery being electrically coupled to said control circuit when said battery is positioned within said well.

6. The assembly according to claim 5, further comprising an actuator being coupled to said housing, said actuator being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said actuator actuating and de-actuating said control circuit.

7. The assembly according to claim 6, further comprising a light emitter being coupled to said housing, said light emitter being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said light emitter emitting light when said battery is charged.

8. The assembly according to claim 7, further comprising a charger being configured to be electrically coupled to the power source, said charger having said battery electrically coupled thereto such that said charger charges said battery.

9. The assembly according to claim 1, further comprising a plurality of feet being coupled to said housing, said feet being positioned on said bottom wall, said feet being configured to engage a support surface.

10. A portable power supply assembly configured to provide power for an electronic device in a remote location, said assembly comprising:
