CONTACTLESS CHARGING DRAWER FOR SMART GARMENTS

Abstract:

A contactless charging drawer for smart garments using magnetic coupling links. A frame with a primary coil creates a magnetic field which couples with a secondary coil disposed a drawer. Smart garments, or any device, can then be safely charged in the drawer. The combination provides for a wireless power charging environment while adding an extra degree of freedom in impedance transformation without the need for electrical contacts to the drawer.
