Abstract

A mobile charging apparatus for a mobile device includes a mobile sleeve capable of receiving and storing a mobile device. The mobile sleeve includes a first connector to mate with a charging port on the mobile device. The mobile charging apparatus includes a mobile energy source contained within the mobile sleeve to provide a charge to the mobile device through the first connector.

Claims

1. A mobile charging apparatus for a mobile device, comprising:

a mobile sleeve capable of receiving and storing a mobile device, the mobile sleeve comprising a first connector to mate with a charging port on the mobile device, wherein the first connector includes a retractable cord reel and cord configured to extend the first connector external to the mobile sleeve and wherein the retractable cord reel and at least a portion of the cord are housed within the mobile sleeve; and

a mobile energy source contained within the mobile sleeve to provide a charge to the mobile device through the first connector.

2. The mobile charging apparatus of claim 1 wherein the energy source comprises one or more batteries.

6. The mobile charging apparatus of claim 1 wherein the first connector is configured to connect to an external energy source to charge the energy source contained within the mobile sleeve.

7. The mobile charging apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a second connector configured to mate with an external energy source to charge the energy source contained within the mobile sleeve.

8. The mobile charging apparatus of claim 1 wherein:

the mobile sleeve comprises a bag capable of receiving and storing the mobile device and the bag comprises the first connector to mate with the charging port on the mobile device; and

the energy source is contained within the bag to provide the charge to the mobile device through the first connector.

9. The mobile charging apparatus of claim 1 wherein the mobile sleeve comprises a device to capture solar energy and the energy source is configured to store the solar energy and to provide the charge to the mobile device through the first connector using the stored solar energy.

10. The mobile charging apparatus of claim 9 wherein the energy source comprises a fuel cell.

11. A mobile charging apparatus, comprising:

a mobile sleeve capable of receiving and storing a mobile device, the mobile sleeve comprising;

an energy source,

a first connector configured to mate with a charging port on the mobile device to charge the mobile device from the energy source, and

a retractable cord reel and cord configured to extend the first connector external to the mobile sleeve, wherein the retractable cord reel and at least a portion of the cord are housed within the mobile sleeve.

12. The mobile charging apparatus of claim 11 wherein the mobile sleeve comprises a bag.

13. The mobile charging apparatus of claim 11 wherein the energy source comprises one or more batteries.

14. The mobile charging apparatus of claim 11 wherein the first connector is configured to connect to an external energy source to charge the energy source in the mobile sleeve.

15. The mobile charging apparatus of claim 11 wherein the mobile sleeve comprises one or more devices to capture solar energy and the energy source is configured to store the solar energy and to provide the charge to the mobile device through the first connector using the stored solar energy.

16. The mobile charging apparatus of claim 11 wherein the mobile sleeve comprises a second connector configured to mate with an external energy source to charge the energy source in the mobile sleeve.

17. The mobile charging apparatus of claim 11 wherein the retractable cord reel and cord are detachable from the mobile sleeve.
