Assembly capable of simultaneously supporting and wirelessly supplying electrical power to a portable electronic device within a passenger compartment of a vehicle

A portable electronic device support and wireless power supply assembly for removable insertion use in a vehicle interior container accessible to at least one passenger of the vehicle, the container having a bottom surface, an inner side wall and an upper edge, the assembly comprising:

• a base adapted to contact the bottom surface of the container as well as the inner side wall of the container when the assembly is in an inserted position in the container;
• an elongated support having a first end connected to the base, an intermediate portion extending from the first end and a second end opposite the first end;
• and
• a device holder for coupling to the second end of the elongated support, the device holder having an anti-vibration and anti-shock bottom support surface capable of wirelessly supplying electrical power to a portable electronic device supported on the surface, the holder including:
• first and second sets of conductive pads that comprise a first part of the support surface;
• a non-conductive or insulating unitary substrate comprising a second part of the support surface, the substrate electrically insulating the first set of pads from the second set of pads and wherein the pads and the substrate allow power transfer during vehicle motion;
• and
• a power source coupling including first and second conductive power traces, the first trace being electrically coupled to each of the first set of pads and the second trace being electrically coupled to each of the second set of pads, the first and second traces forming separate conductive pathways and being operable for biasing the first and second sets of pads at first and second voltage levels, respectively.
