  • Device for inductively charging an electronic element of the mobile-phone type
    Patent number: 11108283
    Abstract: A device for the inductive recharging of an electronic element of the mobile-phone or digital tablet type having at least one receiving antenna. The device having an exterior face intended to support the electronic element, a stage of planar shape being able to move inside the device and bearing at least one emitting antenna intended to be aligned with, and in close proximity to, the at least one receiving antenna, the mobile stage being actuated by a motorized actuating mechanism. The actuating mechanism includes a single motor coupled to a main drive element that renders the stage mobile in a plane parallel to the exterior face of the device, the main drive element being circular in shape, and the motor meshing with a periphery of the main drive element and driving the main drive element in rotation.
