US 12,756,228 B2 · Magnetic wireless charger

Abstract

Apparatus, systems and methods for a waterproof wireless device charging system that includes a magnetic wireless charging body having an upwardly extending back portion with an angled receiving surface for receiving a magnetic device in need of wireless charging. A magnetic wireless energy transmitter is retained within the back portion of the charging body. A lower portion of the charging body resides in an opening in a mounting surface, which may be exposed to harsh movements, conditions, or elements deleterious to effective wireless charging. A gasket resides between the charging body and the mounting surface and provides for a waterproof installation. When charging, the device in need of charging resides on the angled receiving surface and is secured thereto via magnets in the transmitter at the device backside, and optionally, a tension lever pressing against the device front side to provide additional holding power within the charging body.
