armchair socket

[norseman]

Hi all, we have recently purchased a pair of electric reclining armchairs that each have a USB socket close to the control buttons.

Stupid question may be, but what sort of device are they designed to power ?
There are no clues in the booklet(s) that accompany the chairs.

Many thanks for any answer.

my guess
they are charges for phones, ipads various items that would charge from a usb
but not 100% , may have another use specif to the chair maybe

I have those and use them to charge my kindle, ipod, ipad, etc

It's just a "you can plug in and power your phone" convenience - nothing special about them. Our sofa has them as well.

As above - it would be to power or charge your USB powered devices.
Additionally, I would mention, there should be a current rating on the socket - probably between 1 and 2.4A.
This might give you an idea of the speed of charge of the devices you plug in, or whether it can fully power some larger devices.

Thanks to all for the advice, much appreciated folks.
