outputted from a battery shaped jack is changed with different levels. Namely,
one external power supply apparatus according to the present invention can be
adapted to all kinds of portable units which use a commercial battery or a
commercial charging type battery irrespective of their models and fabrication
companies, so that it is possible to overcome many inconveniences that
portable units should be provided with their own power supply units. Therefore,
the present invention is very economical in view of cost.
It is still further another object of the present invention to provide an
external power supply apparatus for portable units in which an external power
can be supplied using a certain apparatus according to the present invention
and a known commercial charging type battery without additionally buying an
external power supply apparatus which is designed to be used only to its own
model.
It is still further another object of the present invention to provide an external power supply apparatus for portable units in which a portable unit can
be used in an outdoor environment by providing a large capacity battery of a
cellular phone to a portable unit.
It is still further another object of the present invention to provide an
external power supply apparatus for portable units in which a commercial
charging battery can be used, while a portable unit is being used, using power
supplied from an external power supply apparatus so that a charging part is
included in an external power supply apparatus for thereby charging a
commercial charging battery.
To achieve the above object, in the external power supply apparatus of
a portable unit, there are provided an AC/DC converter which is installed at one
side of the body and has an AC plug for connecting an external power, and a
DC/D converter having a cigar jack. The power converted by the converter is
supplied to the portable unit through the battery shaped jack.
As the external power supply apparatus, an exclusive external power
supply unit can be provided in order to supply the power proper to one portable
unit. A plurality of portable units may be alternately used using one external
power supply apparatus. A voltage regulator can be installed at one side of the
body for regulating the voltage. A power connection jack and a plurality of
battery shaped jacks may be provided for exchange with multiple battery
shaped jacks for regulating the voltages. In addition, a selection lever may be
provided at the battery shaped jack part for regulating voltage. In addition, a charging part may be provided at the other side for
charging the commercial charging battery.
The charging part may further include a charging controller, and a
charging display unit so that a user can check a charging state.
A charging controller may be further provided for stopping the supply of
the voltage when the charging is finished. The charging part may be provided in
the body of the external power supply apparatus or may be connected with the
body through the cable.
In the external power supply apparatus of the portable unit according to
the present invention, there are provided a battery shaped jack and a charging
terminal of a portable unit. In addition, there are provided a charging apparatus
and an external power supply apparatus for charging all types of portable units.

includes a voltage-up part in the interior of the battery shaped jack in order to
charge the cellular phone battery.
Here, the voltage-up part may be included in the data port side charging
terminal.
Namely, the charging can be performed even in a state that the
apparatus is turned in all types of portable units, which use exclusive batteries
with the commercial charging unit and the battery shaped jack according to the
present invention and the charging port provided at the portable unit. Since the
charging is performed in a state that the battery and the portable unit are connected, the power supply can be automatically performed.
In the external power supply apparatus of the portable units, a wired line
connection part is detachable to a socket of the wired telephone line for
receiving a DC power supplied to the wired telephone line, and the wired line
connection part is connected with the voltage down part through the cable 40.
The down voltage is supplied to the portable unit using the battery shaped jack.
With additionally provided charging unit, the charging apparatus is
capable of charging the commercial charging battery.
One wired line can be divided into multiple lines using a distribution
apparatus.
The wired telephone line and the battery shaped jack and the charging
apparatus are detachable, respectively.
The charging unit may further include a charging controller for stopping
the supply of the voltage when the charging is finished. The charging display
part 90 may be further provided in order for a user to check a completion of the
charging.

When the portable unit is discharged, it is possible to always supply the power.
Furthermore, the commercial batteries used in the portable units can be
charged while the power is being supplied to the portable units using the
charging part in the external power supply apparatus according to the present
invention.
As the present invention may be embodied in several forms without
departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof, it should also be
understood that the above-described examples are not limited by any of the details of the foregoing description, unless otherwise specified, but rather
should be construed broadly within its spirit and scope as defined in the
appended claims, and therefore all changes and modifications that fall within
the meets and bounds of the claims, or equivalences of such meets and bounds
are therefore intended to be embraced by the appended claims.

supplied to the portable unit through the battery shaped jack; and
a jack in which the jack part adapted to supply the power to the portable
unit has a commercial charging battery or commercial battery (A, AA, AAA
sizes) and an exclusive charging battery of the potable unit in an external power
supply apparatus which uses an AC power, a vehicle DC power, a wired
telephone line DC power, a solar cell module, and a DC power of a USB port of
a PC, wherein the external power is supplied to the portable unit by inserting the
jack into the battery insertion part of the potable unit.
2. An external power supply apparatus which is characterized in that a
voltage regulator is provided at one side of a body for regulating voltage so that
a plurality of portable units can be used using one external power supply
apparatus, and a detachable power connection jack and a plurality of battery
shaped jacks are provided so that a plurality of battery shaped jacks can be
exchanged for voltage regulation, and a selection lever is provided at the
battery shaped jack part for voltage regulation, and a means is provided so that a user can adjust the voltage supplied to the jack which corresponds to a
means for supplying power to the portable unit.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a charging part capable of
charging a commercial charging battery which is a major power of the portable
unit while the portable unit is being used using an external power supply
apparatus, with said charging part including a charging display part so that a
user can check a charging state, and with said charging part, which includes a
charging controller for stopping the supply of the power when the batteries are
filly charged, being provided in the body of the external power supply apparatus
or being connected with the body using a cable.
4. The apparatus of claim 3, further comprising a means for selecting
power supplied to the charging part.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said jack adapted to supply power to
the potable unit has a certain size similar with the size of a commercial charging
battery or a commercial battery (A, AA, AAA sizes) and has a certain cross
section similar with the cross section of the same (for example, cross section of
elliptical shape or polygonal shape).
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein there are provided jacks having same sizes and shapes or different sizes and shapes in the external power
supply apparatus, with said jack being used to supply power to the potable unit.
7. A data transmission apparatus which is characterized in that a pace
formed in a battery insertion part is additionally connected when a battery
shaped jack of an external power supply apparatus of claim 1 is inserted into a
battery insertion part of a portable unit, and an assistant jack battery shaped
jack of an external power supply apparatus having a shape of a commercial
charging battery or a commercial battery (A, AA, AAA sizes) is inserted into a
battery insertion part, so that a data is transmitted to an external unit based on
the above insertion.
