Abstract

A cellular phone charging and power system comprising a base unit connectable to a power source of a building with an electrical cord and converting electronics provided therein outputting a voltage level sufficient to recharge and/or power a cell phone therefrom. The predetermined voltage output is provided through a cord that is wound onto a rewind spool for allowing a user to pull out a length of power cord while using the power supply in the building.

Claims

1. A cellular phone charging and powering system, comprising:

a base including a cradle for selectively receiving a cellular phone;

means for connecting the base to a power supply in a building;

means within the base for converting the power supply to output a voltage level sufficient to recharge and power the cellular phone;

a power cord disposed to interconnect the power converting means and the cellular phone; and

an automatic rewind spool disposed within the base to pay out a length of the power cord when the phone is in use and take up the length of power cord when the phone is placed in the cradle.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the base includes indicator lights identifying a phone condition.

3. The system of claim 2 wherein the base includes imprinted indicia corresponding to the phone condition.
