US 2025/0062641 A1 · Wireless Charging Table for an Aircraft

Abstract

A wireless charging table for use in an aircraft includes a frame assembly for mounting the wireless charging table within the aircraft; a table leaf support coupled to the frame assembly and maneuverable between a stowed position and a deployed position; a main table leaf mounted to the table leaf support and having a power unit; and an electrical system to provide power to the power unit when the table leaf support is in the deployed position. When the table leaf support is in the deployed position, an electrical connection is established between a power source and the power unit, and when the table leaf support is in the stowed position, the electrical connection is broken between the power source and the power unit. The power unit is to provide wireless charging to one or more devices when the electrical connection is established.
