Abstract
A device for wirelessly charging electronics, the device comprising a housing, at least one writing instrument disposed in the housing, a power transmitter disposed inside or formed on the housing, the power transmitter being configured to transmit power for charging electronics, and a battery disposed inside or embedded in the housing, the battery being configured to provide power to the power transmitter to transmit the power.
Claims20
A device for wirelessly charging electronics, the device comprising:
- a housing;
- at least one writing instrument disposed in the housing;
- a power transmitter comprising an induction coil disposed inside or formed on the housing, the power transmitter being configured to transmit power for charging electronics;
- and
- a battery disposed inside or embedded in the housing, the battery being configured to provide power to the power transmitter to transmit the power;
- wherein the induction coil is configured for omnidirectional wireless charging, the induction coil including a plurality of crossed dipole coils.
A device for wirelessly charging electronics, the device comprising:
- a housing;
- at least one writing instrument disposed in the housing;
- at least one actuation mechanism formed on the housing and being operatively connected to the at least one writing instrument;
- a power transmitter disposed inside or formed on the housing, the power transmitter being configured to transmit power as an electromagnetic field for charging electronics;
- a battery that is rechargeable and disposed inside or embedded in the housing, the battery being configured to provide power to the power transmitter to transmit the power;
- and
- a circuitry disposed within the housing and operatively connected to the power transmitter and the battery, wherein the circuitry is embodied in a flexible printed circuit board (PCB), wherein the circuitry extends over a circumferential distance spanning between 25% and 33% of an inner circumference of the housing.
A device for wirelessly charging electronics, the device comprising:
- a housing;
- at least one writing instrument disposed in the housing, the at least one writing instrument being an ink cartridge, a lead pencil, or a cartridge-less ink reservoir, the at least one instrument having a first color;
- at least one actuation mechanism formed on the housing and being operatively connected to the at least one writing instrument;
- a power transmitter disposed inside or formed on the housing, the power transmitter being configured to transmit power for charging electronics;
- and
- a battery that is rechargeable and disposed inside or embedded in the housing, the battery being configured to provide power to the power transmitter to transmit the power, wherein the battery extends partially around a circumference of the housing;
- an indicator configured to signal a status of the device, the indicator being a light emitter which selectively flashes and/or emits one or more colored lights to indicate one or more conditions of the device.
