A charging apparatus for charging electric power supplied from a power source to a charging target includes a station section configured to supply the electric power to the charging target. The station section includes a base extending in a vertical direction and a protrusion fixed to a part of the base and protruding frontward than the base. Space for disposing at least one article is formed on at least one of the upper side and the lower side of the protrusion.
1. A charging apparatus for charging electric power supplied from a power source to a charging target, comprising:
a station section configured to supply the electric power to the charging target,
wherein the station section includes:
a base extending in a vertical direction;
a protrusion fixed to a part of the base and protruding frontward than the base; and
a charging cable,
wherein a charging connector to be connected to the charging target is attached to a distal end of the charging cable, and
wherein the tip end of the right end part or the left end part of the protrusion is notched to form a notched portion, and a catcher to which the charging connector is caught being provided in the notched portion.
2. The charging apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the protrusion includes an operating tool for operating to charge to the charging target.
3. The charging apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the protrusion decreases in vertical width as it goes frontward from the base and has a rounded tip end.
4. The charging apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the operating tool is arranged within a height range of 1000±200 mm from a ground plane of an operator.
5. The charging apparatus of claim 1 , comprising:
a power source section configured to supply the electric power to the charging target.
6. The charging apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the charging cable extends downward from the upper part of the base.
7. The charging apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one article is at least one of a bulletin board, a monitor for displaying information, a shelf, a showcase for displaying goods, a reader for reading card information, and a mirror.
8. The charging apparatus of claim 1 , wherein space for disposing at least one article is formed at least above or below the protrusion.
9. A charging apparatus for charging electric power supplied from a power source to a charging target, comprising:
a power supply means configured to supply the electric power to the charging target,
wherein the power supply means includes:
a fixing means;
a protruding means protruding frontward than the fixing means; and
an electric power conveying means,
wherein the fixing means extends in a vertical direction and fixes the protruding means,
wherein a connecting means to be connected to the charging target is attached to a distal end of the electric power conveying means, and
wherein the tip end of the right end part or the left end part of the protrusion is notched to form a notched portion, and a catcher to which the connecting means is caught being provided in the notched portion.
10. The charging apparatus of claim 9 , wherein space for disposing at least one article is formed at least above or below the protruding means.
