ABSTRACT:
A magnetically retained, electrical connection system for making secure, temporary electrical contact between a first coupling surface of a portable appliance, e.g. a rechargeable battery powered photographic camera, and a second coupling surface of a base or recharging unit for passing electrical signals therebetween when the coupling surfaces are brought into contact. The connection system comprises electrical contacts positioned in relation to magnetic circuit closing latch components on the coupling surfaces of the portable appliance and base unit adapted to close electrical and magnetic circuits when contacted under pressure. The latch is latched in response to a first push movement of the coupling surfaces toward one another, thereby closing the electrical and magnetic circuits, and unlatched to break the electrical and magnetic circuits when the appliance, positioned with respect to the second unit, is subjected to a second push movement of the coupling surfaces toward one another.
