Abstract
An inductive charging rack for providing electrical power to an implement includes a back, an inductive primary attached to the back, and a hanger for holding the implement. The rack may include a control for energizing the inductive primary and a transceiver for providing communication to and from the implement. The inductive primary could be attached to the surface of the charging rack or it could be incorporated within the rack.
Description
- A variety of rechargeable electronic implements now exist. For example, line trimmers, leaf blowers and hedge trimmers are now rechargeable devices. While the devices are very convenient, recharging the devices is difficult.
- Each device may have a slightly different adapter and charger. Thus, to use several different devices requires the user to have a plethora of different chargers and adapters. Further, since the rechargeable electronic implements are often bulky, the placement of the chargers and adapters causes additional logistical problems.
- A rack to enable easy recharging of electronic implements is therefore highly desirable.

Alternatively, rechargingrack 10 could be equipped withmultiple primaries 20, each providing power to a single electronic implement. -
Electronic implement 12 includes inductive secondary 30, implementcontroller 32, recharger 34, andrechargeable power source 36. The interaction of the various components withinelectronic implement 12 is described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/689,148, assigned to the assignee of this application, which is hereby incorporated by reference. - Briefly, the operation of the circuitry within
electronic implement 12 is as follows. Inductive secondary 30 is energized by inductive primary 20.Implement controller 32 manages the application of power to recharger 34 andrechargeable power source 36. If provided, implement RXTX (transceiver) 38 communicates with charging rack RXTX 40 in order to more efficiently manage the application of power torechargeable power source 36. -
Controller 18,ballast 22 and RXTX 40 could be contained withincontrol 41.Control 41 could be external to rack 10 or it could be integral withrack 10. -
FIG. 2 shows an additional embodiment of an inductive charging rack. As shown, inductive power rack 50 has inductive primary 52. Inductive primary 52 is arranged to pass through holds 54.Holds 54 are pivotal, allowing a portion ofelectronic implement 12 to be fitted underhold 54. The portion ofelectronic implement 12 fitting underhold 54 includes inductive secondary 56 ofelectronic implement 12. Thus, the inductive secondary ofelectronic implement 12 is positioned within the interior of inductive primary 52. -
FIG. 3 shows a flintier embodiment of an inductive charging rack. In this configuration, charging rack 60 is provided withrods 62 extending in a plane generally perpendicular to that of charging rack 60. Inductive primary 68 extends intorods 62.Electronic implement 68 is provided withindentation 69 within outer-body 70 so thatelectronic implement 68 is held onrod 62. Inductive secondary 72 ofelectronic implement 68 is positioned proximal toindentation 69 so that inductive primary 68 extends into inductive secondary 72. -
Electronic implement 80 is provided with flexible stay 82. Flexible stay 82 includes inductive secondary 84. Flexible stay 82 is arranged so that it is capable of placement aroundrod 62. -
FIG. 4 shows a finer embodiment of an inductive charging rack In this configuration, chargingrack 90 consists of apole 92.Pole 92 could be affixed to a wall or it could be part of a movable rack. Inductive primary 94 is located withinpole 92. Inductive secondary 72 if brought within proximity topole 92, will couple with inductive primary 94, which will thereby charge therechargeable power source 36.Pole 92 has RXTX 95. Pole 92 also hasoptional network connection 96. -
Network connection 96 allowspole 92 to be coupled withnetwork 98.Network 98 is connected toremote device 99.Network connection 96 could be a router or hub enabling communication to be seamlessly routed to devices throughoutnetwork 98 as well as devices coupled topole 92. -
FIG. 5 showsgarment 100.Garment 100 is provided with a plurality ofpockets 102. Various electronic implements could be placed within the pockets. Whengarment 100 is placed in proximity topole 92, electronic implements provided with inductive secondaries and rechargeable power sources will have their power replenished. If electronic implements also have an RXTX, then a communication link can be established between the electronic implements andRXTX 95. -
FIG. 6 shows enhancedgarment 110.Enhanced garment 110 includesinductive secondaries inductive secondaries Enhanced garment 110 also includes a plurality of garmentinductive primaries pockets - When garment inductive secondary 112 is energized by inductive primary 94,
garment controller 126 provisions electric power toinductive primaries Garment controller 126 could also supply communication capabilities betweenRXTX 94 and RXTXs within the electronic implements. Devices placed within pockets ofenhanced garment 110 could be connected to the network. Information could be delivered to and retrieved from the various electronic implements by computers connected to the network. - For example, if the electronic implements were portable media player devices, such as an MP3 player, MP3 files could be downloaded to or retrieved from the MP3 player. Thus, the device could be recharged while information contained within the device could be manipulated by placing the device within proximity to
pole 92. - According to one embodiment, an electronic implement such as a portable MP3 player equipped with Bluetooth or other wireless communications interfaces and a secondary adapted to provide power to the implement, is placed in one of
pocket enhanced garment 110.Enhanced garment 110 is then placed in proximity with inductive primary 94. Inductive primary 94 provides electricity to at least one of secondary 112, 113, which, in turn, provides electricity to at least one ofprimary primary pocket -
FIG. 7 shows enhancedhanger 130.Enhanced hanger 130 comprises aclothes holder portion 132 andhanger controller 134. Hanger inductive secondary 136 is contained withinholder portion 132. - Clothing is placed upon enhanced
hanger 130. When enhancedhanger 130 is placed onpole 92, hanger inductive secondary 136 is thereby energized.Hanger controller 134 regulates the energization of hanger inductive secondary 136. Hangerinductive primary 138 is contained withinholder portion 132. - If enhanced
garment 110 is placed upon enhancedhanger 130 andenhanced hanger 130 is placed onpole 92, then hanger inductive secondary 136 is energized.Hanger controller 134 provisions power from hanger inductive secondary 136 to hangerinductive primary 138. - Due to the position of hanger inductive primary 138,
enhanced garment 110 can have a garment inductive secondary positioned in a particular location so as to enhance the coupling between garment inductive secondary and hangerinductive primary 138. -
FIG. 8 shows enhancedgarment 150 in place onenhanced hanger 130. Enhanced garment has inductive primary 154 located so as to easily interoperate withenhanced hanger 130. - The above description is of the preferred embodiment.
