Abstract

A device for wireless charging of portable electronic devices is provided. The device is capable of being fixed to a piece of furniture and includes a charger configured to transmit electricity via induction; a horizontal arm of an angular shelf beneath which the charger is mounted; and an angular bracket configured to mount the device to the piece of furniture by adjusting a spacing between a vertical arm of the angular bracket and a vertical arm of the angular shelf to approximately a width of the piece of furniture, wherein the charger is mounted between the angular bracket and the angular shelf, and wherein the angular bracket is slidably mounted in relation to the vertical arm of the angular shelf.

Claims (43)

1. A device for wireless charging of at least one external device, the device capable of being fixed to a portion of furniture and comprising:

a charger configured to transmit electricity via induction;

a horizontal arm of an angular shelf beneath which the charger is mounted; and

an angular bracket configured to mount the device to the portion of the furniture by adjusting a spacing between a vertical arm of the angular bracket and a vertical arm of the angular shelf to approximately a width of the portion of the furniture,

wherein the charger is mounted between the angular bracket and the angular shelf, and

wherein the angular bracket is slidably mounted in relation to the vertical arm of the angular shelf.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the angular bracket is equipped with at least one displacement and positioning lock.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the angular shelf comprises the horizontal arm of the angular shelf and the vertical arm of the angular shelf, and

wherein the angular bracket comprises a horizontal arm of the angular bracket and the vertical arm of the angular bracket.

4. The device of claim 3 , wherein the horizontal arm of the angular shelf is configured to be positioned above the portion of the furniture in a mounting state,

wherein the vertical arm of the angular shelf is configured to be positioned against a first lateral side of the portion of the furniture in the mounting state, and

wherein the vertical arm of the angular bracket is configured to be positioned against a second lateral side of the portion of the furniture in the mounting state.

5. The device of claim 3 , wherein the angular bracket adheres to an inner surface of the angular surface,

wherein the vertical arm of the angular shelf is substantially parallel to the vertical arm of the angular bracket, and

wherein the horizontal arm of the angular shelf is substantially parallel to the horizontal arm of the angular bracket.

6. The device of claim 3 , wherein the horizontal arm of the angular bracket adheres horizontally to the horizontal arm of the shelf.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the angular bracket is configured to slide with respect to the vertical arm of the angular shelf when pressure is applied to a surface of the angular bracket.

8. The device of claim 1 , wherein a position of the angular bracket with respect to the angular shelf is set by tightening a locking screw into a socket beneath the angular bracket such that the locking screw is screwed in a direction towards the horizontal arm of the angular shelf and passes through a longitudinal slot of the horizontal arm of the angular bracket.

9. The device of claim 3 , wherein the angular bracket is configured to slide based on a manual pressure applied to a single-acting ratchet mechanism positioned between the horizontal arm of the angular shelf and the horizontal arm of the angular bracket.

10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the angular bracket is mounted to the horizontal arm of the angular shelf using sliding pins placed in slots of the horizontal arm of the angular bracket.

11. The device of claim 9 , wherein a toothed locking bar is embedded in a bottom recess of the horizontal arm of the angular shelf,

wherein a latch is embedded in the horizontal arm of the bracket and configured to lock with the toothed locking bar, and

wherein the latch includes a pressure area configured to unlock the latch from the toothed locking bar when pressure is applied to the pressure area.

12. The device of claim 1 , wherein the angular bracket is equipped with a motor configured to adjust a position of the angular bracket with respect to the vertical arm of the angular shelf.

13. The device of claim 11 , wherein the motor is connected through a gear with a first end of a bolt that is attached to a lower surface of the horizontal arm of the angular shelf, and

wherein a second end of the bolt is embedded in a yoke that is attached to a horizontal arm of the angular bracket.

14. The device according to the claim 1 , wherein the horizontal arm of the angular shelf includes handles in the form of holes or containers.

15. The device according to the claim 1 , wherein the angular shelf has a locator system configured to automatically adjust a position of the charger in relation to one or more devices that receive electricity.

16. The device according to the claim 1 , wherein the angular shelf has a locator system configured to automatically adjust a position of the charger in relation to one or more devices that receive electricity.

17. The device according to the claim 1 , wherein the device further includes a rechargeable battery configured to provide electricity to the charger.

18. The device according to the claim 1 , wherein the device further includes a universal serial bus (USB) laterally positioned below the horizontal arm of the angular shelf.

19. A device for wireless charging at least one external device, the device capable of being fixed to a portion of furniture and comprising:

a charger configured to transmit electricity via induction; and

a horizontal arm of an angular shelf beneath which the charger is mounted,

wherein the angular shelf includes a locator system configured to automatically adjust a position of the charger in relation to the at least one external device to receive electricity.

20. A device for wireless charging at least one external device, the device capable of being fixed to a portion of furniture and comprising:

a charger configured to transmit electricity via induction;

a universal serial bus (USB) port configured to transmit electricity via a wire;

a horizontal arm of an angular shelf beneath which the charger is centrally mounted and the USB port is laterally mounted;

an angular bracket configured to mount the device to the portion of the furniture by adjusting a spacing in between a vertical arm of the angular bracket and a vertical arm of the angular shelf to approximately a width of the portion of the furniture; and

a rechargeable battery configured to provide power to the charger and the USB port,

wherein the charger is mounted between the angular bracket and the angular shelf, and

wherein the angular bracket is slidably mounted in relation to the vertical arm of the angular shelf.
