Abstract
A thin charging device having excellent portability is provided for charging a battery pack while the battery pack remains housed within a communication device. The charging device (10) is constructed from a flat rectangular shaped main body (12) and a cover (13) which is fixed to a rotation shaft (23) so as to be rotatable with respect to the main body to allow the cover to be positioned in either an open or closed position. When the cover is in the closed position, it covers charging terminals (20) provided on the top of the main body and makes the overall dimensions of the charging device roughly equal to the dimensions of the main body. On the other hand, when the cover is placed in the open position, the cover is maintained at such open position by the provision of support means (34), (35), (37). When a communication device such as a portable telephone (15) is set on the charging device, the back surface (25) of the portable telephone makes contact with the opened cover, whereby the portable telephone is supported in an upright position. In this position, external terminals (30) of the portable telephone make contact with the charging terminals of the charging device and this enables the battery pack (28) housed within the portable telephone to be charged.
