  • Publication number: 20150145474
    Abstract: A device (100) for wireless electrical charging, intended to be installed in an automobile has a coil referred to as the “emitter coil” and a circuit for supplying the emitter coil, a first part (101) and a second part (102), at least one of which can move relative to the other between: a closed position of the device, in which the first and second parts are arranged so as to delimit a cavity for receiving a terminal (107); and an open position of the device adapted to allow insertion of the terminal. The second part has on the side of the first part a resilient element (103) including a rigid portion (110) which includes the emitter coil, the rigid portion being adapted to bear, when the device is in the closed position, against the terminal in the reception cavity, and to hold the terminal immobile against the first part.

  • Publication number: 20120318647
    Abstract: A multicontact block includes at least two independent electrical contacts (2-6) of the blister-effect type that are capable of elastic deformation. This multicontact block includes two longitudinal profile elements (11, 12), called stays, to each of which each blister-effect contact (2-6) is connected via an elastic flat section (21, 22) capable of allowing the elastic deformation of the contact, and two transverse profile elements for rigidification (7-10), called cross-ties, running between the stays (11, 12) and interposed between the contacts (2-6). Moreover, support lugs (13-16) are positioned under the profile elements (7, 10) and define a support reference plane for the multicontact block, designed to be intercepted by each contact (2-6) when it is deformed elastically.
