ABSTRACT:
A portable (travel) charger or power adaptor (10) can minimize the protrusion from a wall when used as a wall mounted charger and can further maximize the number of power adaptors that can be (safely) plugged into a standard AC strip. The power adaptor can include a housing (12) containing a power transformer and a pair of pivoting prongs (13and15) forming a plug (14) arranged to be substantially near a top portion of the housing. The pair of pivoting prongs in a first position or horizontal position can make the adaptor suitable or configured for coupling to an AC wall outlet receptacle and in a second position or vertical position can make the adaptor suitable or configured for placement in an AC strip receptacle (22) of a standard power strip (20).
