Charging stand for percussive massage device
A charging stand for use with a percussive massage device that includes a rechargeable battery. The charging stand includes a main body portion that defines a charging channel therein that is configured to receive the percussive massage device in a charging position. The main body portion includes first and second side walls, an upper wall and a lower wall that cooperate to define the charging channel. When a percussive massage device is received in the charging position, power is transmitted from the charging stand to the rechargeable battery.
1. A charging stand for use with a percussive massage device that includes a rechargeable battery, the charging stand comprising:
a main body portion that defines a charging channel therein, wherein the charging channel is configured to receive the percussive massage device in a charging position, wherein the main body portion includes opposing first and second side walls, an upper wall and a lower wall that cooperate to define the charging channel, wherein the upper and lower walls are positioned between the opposing first and second side walls, wherein the upper and lower walls form a V-shape and are configured to receive the percussive massage device thereon, wherein the first side wall includes an inner portion and an outer portion, wherein the main body portion defines a stand interior, and wherein a portion of the stand interior is defined between the inner and outer portions,
a support bracket positioned in the stand interior and between the inner and outer portions of the first sidewall, and
a wireless charging transmitter that is supported by the support bracket,
and wherein when a percussive massage device is received in the charging position, power is transmitted from the charging stand to the rechargeable battery.
2. The charging stand of claim 1 wherein the support bracket is secured to the first side wall and includes an outer side, a portion of which is spaced from the outer portion of the first side wall, and in inner side that supports the support bracket.
3. A charging stand for use with a percussive massage device, the charging stand comprising:
a main body portion that defines a charging channel therein, wherein the charging channel is configured to receive the percussive massage device in a charging position,
a charging pin positioned in the charging channel, wherein the charging pin is movable between a charging position and a safety position, wherein the charging pin is biased to the charging position.
4. The charging stand of claim 3 wherein the charging pin extends through a charging pin slot and into the charging channel, wherein the charging pin is movable between the charging position and the safety position within the charging pin slot.
5. The charging stand of claim 4 wherein the charging pin slot includes an angled stop surface, and wherein when the charging pin is in the safety position, the charging pin contacts the angled stop surface.
6. The charging stand of claim 3 wherein the main body portion includes a lower surface that partially defines the charging channel, wherein the charging pin defines a charging pin axis, wherein the lower surface extends parallel to the charging pin axis.
7. The charging stand of claim 6 wherein the lower surface forms an angle of between 1° and 45° with a horizontal line.
8. The charging stand of claim 3 further comprising a retractable tab that is movable between a protection position where the retractable tab is positioned in the charging channel and a charging position where the retractable tab is at least partially retracted into the main body portion interior, wherein the retractable tab is biased to the protection position, and wherein the charging pin is positioned adjacent the retractable tab.
9. The charging stand of claim 8 wherein the retractable tab includes a side surface adjacent the charging pin, wherein the side surface includes a surface area that defines a surface area extended that extends transversely across the charging channel, wherein the charging pin is positioned in the surface area extended.
10. The charging stand of claim 3 wherein in both the charging position and the safety position the charging pin is positioned in the charging channel.
11. The charging stand of claim 3 wherein the charging pin is pivotable between the charging position and the safety position.
12. A charging stand for use with a percussive massage device, the charging stand comprising:
a main body portion that defines a charging channel therein and includes a main body portion interior, wherein the charging channel is configured to receive the percussive massage device in a charging position,
a charging pin positioned in the charging channel, and
a retractable tab that is movable between a protection position where the retractable tab is positioned in the charging channel and a charging position where the retractable tab is at least partially retracted into the main body portion interior, wherein the retractable tab is biased to the protection position, and wherein the charging pin is positioned adjacent the retractable tab.
13. The charging stand of claim 12 wherein the retractable tab includes a side surface adjacent the charging pin, wherein the side surface includes a surface area that defines a surface area extended that extends transversely across the charging channel, wherein the charging pin is positioned in the surface area extended.
14. The charging stand of claim 12 wherein the retractable tab includes a contact surface, wherein the retractable tab is pushed from the protection position to the charging position when the contact surface is contacted by the percussive massage device.
15. The charging stand of claim 12 wherein the charging pin is movable between a charging position and a safety position.
