Publication number: 20230208193Abstract: An inductive charging case in accordance with certain embodiments presented herein comprises a base and a lid mechanically coupled together via a hinge mechanism. When the inductive charging case is in a closed arrangement (e.g., the lid is positioned adjacent to the base), the lid and base collectively define an interior volume that is configured to enclose an electronic device therein. The electronic device includes one or more rechargeable batteries, a receiver coil, and circuitry for recharging the one or more rechargeable batteries, while the inductive charging case includes inductive charging circuitry, including at least one inductive charging coil, that is configured to provide power to the electronic device which is then used to charge the one or more rechargeable batteries and/or power the electronic device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2021Publication date: June 29, 2023Inventors: Kurt FORRESTER, Nathan ISAACSON, Peter SPRADA, Peter RUSSELL
