Abstract
In a battery charger device 1 for a portable telephone, a front pocket 11 suitable for a portable telephone 4 having a large battery pack 3, and a rear pocket 12 suitable for a large battery pack 3 are disposed. Rotatable levers 5 which are urged by spiral springs 6 are disposed in pocket back faces 11a. A small battery pack 2 and a portable telephone 4 having a small battery pack 2 are held by the levers 5. Since the levers 5 are rotated so as to be housed in the battery charger, the large battery pack 3 and the portable telephone 4 having the large battery pack 3 are held by the pocket back faces 11a. The rotatable levers allow a small battery pack and a portable telephone having a small battery pack, and a large battery pack and a portable telephone having a large battery pack to be selectively held in a fixed state. Therefore, either of a small battery pack and a large battery pack can be stably held.
