Portable power supply carrier
First Claim
1. Portable power supply carrier for use in energizing electrically operated appliances and instruments, which comprises:
- a belt to be worn around a user'"'"'s waist, said belt having electrical conduit means incorporated therein, said electrical conduit means being insulated by said belt;
securing means attached to and for maintaining said belt removably in place on the user;
a plurality of electrical connector-fasteners externally mounted in pairs at spaced intervals along the length of said belt, said connector-fasteners being electrically connected to said electrical conduit means;
a plurality of electrical batteries for providing power to the portable power supply carrier;
a plurality of battery holders to be mounted removably on said belt for carrying said electrical batteries and connecting said batteries electrically to said electrical conduit means;
complementary mating fastening means externally mounted in pairs on said battery holders, said fastening means being electrically connected to said batteries held in said battery holders, said fastening means being capable of mechanical and electrical attachment each to a corresponding mating one of said electrical connector-fasteners on said belt; and
output terminal means mounted on said belt for operative power-transferring attachment to the electrically operated appliance to be energized and operated, said output terminal means being electrically connected to said electrical conduit means whereby said electrical connector-fasteners are electrically interconnected with said output terminal means so that current from said electrical batteries held in said battery holders is transmitted through said electrical conduit means and carried to said output terminal means for energizing the electrical appliance attached thereto.

Abstract
Portable power supply carrier comprises an internally wired belt to be worn around a user'"'"'s waist, the belt having pairs of electrical connectors spaced along its length for operatively engaging a plurality of battery holders which are removably supported on the belt. In its simplest form, the power supply carrier uses conventional batteries to provide a single preselected DC voltage through the belt'"'"'s wiring to a power output jack; other more complex forms of the carrier may include a converter to supply a choice of DC and AC voltages either to multiple power outlets or to a voltage selector switch controlling a single output jack. An input terminal for reenergizing rechargeable batteries while connected to the power belt carrier also may be included.
