Patent number: 9929598Abstract: A power supplying device is provided for providing electrical power to a power receiving device, the power supplying device comprising two plates, two electrode structures being arranged to be coupled to an AC power source and at least one power transmitter. Each electrode structure is attached to one of said two plates. The power transmitter is situated in between the two plates and comprises an electrically conductive coil and at least two electrical contacts coupled to the electrically conductive coil. The plates and the power transmitter are arranged such that the power transmitter is movable in a direction parallel to the surfaces of the plates with the electrical contacts in contact with the respective two electrode structures for obtaining power from the AC power source.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2015Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Dirk Hente, Joseph Hendrik Anna Maria Jacobs, Elena Tiziana Ferrari, Ramon Rascal Van Gorkom, Petrus Johannes Bremer, Bertrand Johan Edward Hontele, Robert Cornelis Houtepen, Joris Jan Vrehen
