Abstract

A storage device includes a storage body having an opening and a lid for selectively opening and closing the opening of the storage body. The storage body has a light emitter and a power receiving portion connected to the light emitter. The lid has a power supplying portion, which is configured to supply power to the power receiving portion by the direct current resonance method. The light emitter emits light to interior of the storage body at a first luminance when the opening is closed by the lid. When the lid opens the opening so that the distance between the power receiving portion and the power supplying portion is reduced, the light emitter changes the luminance to a second luminance, which is different from the first luminance.

Dependent claims

A light emitting interior product comprising:

a first component;
a second component;
a light emitting portion provided in the first component;
a power receiving portion, which is provided in the first component and connected to the light emitting portion;
and
a power supplying portion, which is provided in the second component and configured to supply power to the power receiving portion by a direct current resonance method, wherein
one of the first component and the second component is a fixed body, which is held in a stopped state,
the other one of the first component and the second component is a movable body, which is moved relative to the fixed body,
