Abstract

A device (1) has a power adaptor (10) and speaker devices (50). The power adaptor (10) is for receiving input electrical power and outputting electric power for charging a rechargeable battery or powering another device. The speaker devices (50) are for outputting audio. Each speaker device (50) has an electrical power pin (52) for connection to a respective socket of a mains power socket. Each speaker device (50) has an electrical connection (54) to the power adaptor (10) so that the electrical power pins (52) of the speaker devices (50) can receive input electrical power from a mains socket to which the electrical power pins (52) are connected in use and pass the input electrical power to the power adaptor (10) via the electrical connections (54).A device (1) has a power adapter (10) and speaker devices (50).

Claims

1. A device comprising: a power adaptor for receiving input electrical power and outputting electric power for charging a rechargeable battery or powering another device; and speaker devices for outp utting audio; each speaker device having an electrical power pin for connection to a respective socket of a mains power socket; each speaker device having an electrical connection to the power adaptor so that the electrical power pins of the speaker devices can receive input electrical power from a mains socket to which the electrical power pins are connected in use and pass the input electrical power to the power adaptor via the electrical connections.

2. A device according to claim 1, the power adaptor having a switch operable to switch the electrical connections between the speaker devices and the power adaptor so that the speaker devices can selectively (i) receive, via the electrical connections, audio signals transmitted in use via the power adaptor and output audio and (ii) pass to the power adaptor, via the electrical connections, input electrical power received in use from a mains socket to which the electrical power pins of the speaker devices are connected in use.

3. A device according to claim 1 or claim 2, wherein: the power adaptor comprises an AC/DC rectifier for receiving an input AC mains power supply and outputting a DC current; and the electrical power pins of the speaker devices are movable between a first configuration and a second configuration, wherein: in the first configuration, the electrical power pins are disconnected from the AC/DC rectifier and are electrically connected to respective coils of the speaker devices to receive, via the electrical connections, audio signals transmitted in use via the power adaptor and pass the audio signals to the respective coils of the speaker devices, and in the second configuration, the electrical power pins are disconnected from the coils of the speaker devices and are electrically connected to the AC/DC rectifier. 4248/TR

4. A device according to claim 3, wherein the electrical power pins of the speaker devices are pivotable or rotatable between the first configuration and the second configuration.

5. A device according to any of claims 1 to 4, wherein: each speaker device com prises at least one of a mounting pin and an aperture; the power adaptor comprises a housing having at least one of a corresponding aperture and a mounting pin for each speaker device; the device being arranged such that the speaker devices can be mounted to the power adaptor by the mounting pins being received in respective apertures.

6. A device according to claim 5, wherein the mounting pins and the apertures are configured so that the electrical power pins of the speaker devices are correctly orientated to be received in corresponding sockets of a mains power socket when the speaker devices are mounted to the power adaptor.

7. A device according to any of claims 1 to 6, wherein: the power adaptor comprises an audio connector for connection to an audio output socket of an audio output device and a power con nector for connection to a power input socket of a device.

8. A device according to any of claims 1 to 7, wherein the power adaptor comprises one or more of a volume control, a tone control and a stereo balance control, for controlling audio playback at the speaker devices, and a microphone.
