Abstract

An inductive recharging station has an inductive power supply and a portable power station. The portable power station is movable with respect to the inductive power supply. In order to recharge portable devices, the devices are placed within the portable power station. When the portable power station is placed in proximity to the inductive recharging station, the devices are powered. If a device has a rechargeable battery, the battery is recharged.

Claims (16)

1. A portable recharging toolbox comprising:

a first inductor for receiving AC electrical power inductively from an inductive power supply;

a power distribution system electrically coupled to the first inductor, where the power distribution system receives the AC electrical power from the first inductor and distributes the electrical power to a device; and

where the toolbox has a base, and the first inductor is located in the base.

2. A portable recharging toolbox comprising:

a first inductor for receiving AC electrical power inductively from an inductive power supply;

a power distribution system electrically coupled to the first inductor, where the power distribution system receives the AC electrical power from the first inductor and distributes the electrical power to a device; and

where the toolbox has at least one sidewall, and the inductor is located in the sidewall.

3. A portable recharging toolbox comprising:

a first inductor for receiving AC electrical power inductively from an inductive power supply;

a power distribution system electrically coupled to the first inductor, where the power distribution system receives the AC electrical power from the first inductor and distributes the electrical power to a device; and

where the toolbox has at least one sidewall, and the inductor is located on the sidewall.

4. A vehicle comprising:

a vehicle power supply;

an inductive power supply incorporated within the vehicle and electrically coupled to the vehicle power supply, where the inductive power supply is partially located within a floor of the vehicle;

a portable power station, inductively powered by the inductive power supply, movable with respect to the inductive power supply, the portable power station having a power distribution system capable of energizing a plurality of devices.
