Abstract
A portable adapter includes a first body; a second body; a pivoting unit, mounted between the first body and the second body; a power input, mounted on the first body; a power output, mounted on the first body near to the pivoting unit; and at least one connector, mounted on the second body. The pivoting unit unfolds the first body and the second body in a manner such that the power output is partially hidden between the first body and the second body. The foldable structure of the portable adapter has a reduced volume and the power output is partially hidden during travel. When in use with a laptop, the first body and the second body unfold to an angle of 90 degrees relative to each other by means of the pivoting unit, so that the connector can be plugged with an electronic device.
