Supporting structures (i.e., docks) designed mainly for automated charging of the internal rechargeable batteries of handheld, cellular, and mobile telephones. These docks (also known as docking stations) typically consist of a structure made of metal, hard plastic, or a combination of these that is mounted on the wall or placed on a tabletop. The docks hold and provide appropriate connectors to plug-in or cradle the handheld telephone, providing means to recharge their internal batteries; some docks may also facilitate the connectivity of the telephone. The docks may also include wired or wireless connection to other devices and /or information systems, a power converter (e.g., 120 VAC to 12 VDC), and a line cord for connection to the mains.
