Claim Text:
1. A modular pocket system comprising: a modularly mountable pocket modularly mountable to a tactical garment, an insert to align and closely inductively couple a primary inductive coil and related primary drive circuits to a secondary inductive coil and related secondary charging circuits for the inductively coupled transmission of power between the coils so to transmit power to an electrically powered pocket-stowed portable device having a rechargeable energy storage component electrically connected to the secondary inductive coil and secondary charging circuits associated with the device, said insert for mounting in said pocket on the tactical garment, wherein said pocket includes an opening into said pocket and the garment includes electrical conductors for electrical connection between said pocket and a central power supply and a power management system and a soldier system data computer and processor located remote from said pocket, wherein said insert is substantially rigid non-magnetic, and non-electrically conductive and is adapted for mounting into said pocket so as to be stable within said pocket and stable relative to the garment to accommodate electrical connection between said insert and the electrical conductor of the garment, said insert including an electrical connector adapted for said electrical connection, and wherein said insert includes a primary power inductive coil and a primary power drive circuit, and wherein said insert includes surfaces which are shaped to support the portable device in said pocket and when so supported said surfaces precisely align said primary power inductive coil in said insert with the secondary inductive coil associated with the portable device, and hold the device stable within said insert, and wherein said surfaces define an entry way which, when said insert is said mounted in said pocket, is aligned with the opening into said pocket, whereby a user conveying the portable device into said pocket will mate the portable device into said insert and thereby bring said primary coil into closely inductively coupled proximity and alignment with the secondary coil, whereby single handed operation by a user is enabled.
