Abstract
A door including a laminated member, an energy receiver, and an electrical device. The laminated member has a plurality of layers are bonded to one another. The energy receiver is configured to inductively receive electrical energy from an energy transmitter. The energy receiver includes a receiver coil forming a portion of at least one layer of the plurality of layers of the laminated member. The electrical device is disposed substantially or entirely within the door and is electrically coupled to the energy receiver.
Claims25
A door comprising:
- a laminated member of a rail or stile having a plurality of layers bonded to one another;
- an energy receiver configured to inductively receive electrical energy from an energy transmitter disposed in a door frame, the energy receiver comprising a receiver coil forming a portion of at least one layer of the plurality of layers of the laminated member;
- the receiver coil partially or completely hidden within the laminated member of the rail or stile;
- and
- an electrical device disposed substantially or entirely within the door and electrically coupled to the energy receiver, wherein the receiver coil comprises a single layer element disposed between two adjacent layers of the plurality of layers of the laminated member.
