Abstract: An apparatus, device, and charging system are provided. The apparatus comprises a primary stationary receive coil and a secondary rotatable receive coil, the primary stationary receive coil being electronically coupled to the secondary rotatable receive coil. The secondary rotatable receive coil provides a charge mode position when rotated in a same plane as the primary stationary receive coil. The secondary rotatable receive coil provides non-charge mode position when retracted back against the primary stationary receive coil. The coils may be coupled is series and or parallel configurations. The primary stationary receive coil may be integrated within or appended to a housing. The secondary rotatable receive coil may be integrated within or coupled to a rotatable clip coupled to the housing. Rotation of the clip extends a charging configuration with which to charge the primary stationary receive coil and the secondary rotatable receive coil.

Abstract: A power transfer interface (120) is formed of a primary repeater coil (104) and one or more secondary repeater coils (106) coupled via a wired interconnect (110), and integrated within a garment (114). The repeater coils operate as part of a wireless charging or powering system in which a transmit coil (102), located in a vehicle or a radio, is driven to magnetically couple a wireless radio frequency (RF) power signal to the primary repeater coil (104) which in turn transfers the RF power signal to the secondary repeater coil (106) via the wired interconnect (110). The system further comprises a portable electronic device (220) having a receive coil (108). The receive coil (108) wirelessly receives the RF power signal from the secondary repeater coil (106), which can in turn be used to power the portable device or charge a battery of the portable device.
