  • Patent number: 10622847
    Abstract: A wireless power supply system includes: a primary power-supplying coil which is a power-supplying coil capable of wirelessly supplying electric power to another power-supplying coil; a first machine that supports the primary power-supplying coil; a secondary power-supplying coil which is a power-supplying coil wirelessly supplied with electric power from another power-supplying coil; and a second machine that can move while supporting the secondary power-supplying coil. The relative positional relationship or the relative attitudinal relationship between the first machine and the second machine can be adjusted corresponding to the movement or change in attitude of the second machine so that a state in which electric power is wirelessly supplied from the primary power-supplying coil to the secondary power-supplying coil is maintained.
