Abstract
A console for charging a portable communications device and converting it for mobile operation can accommodate portable units of varying lengths. The contacts for the charging current are positioned by the insertion of a portable unit by means of a unique reel mechanism. Interconnection and latching are also activated by the insertion of the portable unit. The converter connector serves as a part of the latching and locking apparatus which makes the unattended portable essentially theft proof.
