Abstract

A housing of a power bank includes fasteners for coupling the power bank to a mobile phone. The housing comprises a illumination element and a charging element for wirelessly charging the mobile phone. An added benefit, which convinces users to carry a mobile phone and the power bank connected to one another is that the illumination element can be controlled manually and/or wirelessly by a wireless connection through the mobile phone, such that light can be emitted from the power bank front side in the direction of a transverse axis, and the fasteners are designed to be permanently magnetic and/or mechanically designed such that a releasable attachment, that can be pivoted about a transverse axis, of the power bank is achieved relative to the mobile phone, such that the housing is mounted to be pivotable between a neutral coupling position and a pivoted selfie position relative to the mobile phone.

Claims (14)

1. A multi-purpose power bank comprising a housing having a power bank front side and a power bank rear side opposite the power bank front side,

wherein the housing has fasteners for coupling the power bank front side to a mobile phone rear side of a mobile phone and the housing comprises charging means for wirelessly charging the mobile phone and at least one illumination means,

wherein the at least one illumination means is a front side illumination means arranged on the power bank front side, said illumination means controllable manually by an on/off button or an intensity control button and/or wirelessly by a wireless connection through the mobile phone, such that light is emitted from the power bank front side in the direction of a transverse axis, and

wherein the fasteners are designed to be permanently magnetic and/or mechanically designed in such a manner that a releasable attachment, that can be pivoted about a transverse axis, of the multi-purpose power bank can be achieved relative to the mobile phone, such that the housing is mounted to be pivotable to and fro between a neutral coupling position and a pivoted selfie position relative to the mobile phone when the housing is physically coupled to the mobile phone.

2. The multi-purpose power bank of claim 1 , wherein a pivoting angle can be adjusted from the coupling position to the pivoted selfie position around the transverse axis between ±80° and ±100°.

3. The multi-purpose power bank of claim 1 , wherein the at least one illumination means comprises a rear side illumination means which is arranged on the power bank rear side and emits light therefrom.

4. The multi-purpose power bank of claim 3 , wherein the front side illumination means and/or the rear side illumination means are formed from a plurality of rectilinear LED bars comprising LEDs.

5. The multi-purpose power bank of claim 4 , wherein a first LED bar and a second LED bar are arranged spaced apart from one another on the power bank front side.

6. The multi-purpose power bank of claim 4 , wherein the LED bars are arranged in wavy lines, semicircles or partial ellipses.

7. The multi-purpose power bank of claim 1 , wherein the fasteners are arranged in an interior of the housing and are formed by at least one permanently magnetic ring.

8. The multi-purpose power bank of claim 1 , wherein the charging means is designed as at least one induction coil, which is connected to a rechargeable battery or to associated charging electronics in an interior of the housing.

9. The multi-purpose power bank of claim 1 , wherein a belt clip is arranged on the housing.

10. The multi-purpose power bank of claim 1 , wherein a table top stand is arranged in a fold-out manner on the housing.

11. The multi-purpose power bank of claim 1 , wherein wired charging is provided by arranging charging connections on a base side of the housing with suitable sockets, providing an interference-free emission of light from the power bank front side.
