CHARGER AND CHARGER FOR SELF-RUNNING CLEANER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a charger constituted of a simple mechanism and supplying power only when a charged apparatus has been surely mounted, and to provide a charger for a self-running cleaner. SOLUTION: In the charger 1 for supplying power to the self-running cleaner, a negative electrode terminal 42 among protrusion contactors 4 is always connected electrically to a current carrying section C (a third lead wire 421). A positive electrode terminal 41 is separated from the current-carrying section C (an electrode plate 411), when a terminal moving/turning section 51 moves forward by elastic members 514, 514. One among a plurality of connections (left end 41b and right end 41c) at a back end of the positive electrode terminal 41 is electrically connected to the current-carrying section C (electrode plate 411) by moving backward the terminal moving/turning section 51 by force from the self-running cleaner 8, in cooperation with an operation for mounting the self-running cleaner 8 with respect to the protrusion contactors 4.
