Abstract:
An apparatus and method for transferring power from a stationary unit to a mobile unit are introduced in order to improve on the existing methods of supplying power to appliances and mobile devices. 
     The stationary unit is comprised of multiple magnetic and electromagnetic switches, which are activated only when in close proximity to a mobile unit comprising of a set of magnets of opposite polarity to the magnetic and electromagnetic switches in the stationary unit thus ensuring a safe and easy to use system for supplying power from the stationary unit to the mobile unit. 
     The stationary unit may be large enough to allow the connection of multiple mobile units on a single stationary unit. Each mobile unit can then adjust the voltage supplied by the stationary to fit the requirements of its own appliance or mobile device thus allowing different types of devices to connect to the same source (the stationary unit).

Description:
REFERENCE TO CROSS-RELATED APPLICATION 
       [0001]    This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/019,301, filed on Jan. 7, 2008, herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. 
     
    
     FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for transferring electrical power from a source plane to a receiving device placed in various orientations on this plane. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0003]    Many of today&#39;s electronic devices are portable and some of them are even equipped with rechargeable batteries. 
         [0004]    If a battery less electronic device is used, it must be connected to a power supply, i.e. 110V/220V AC power outlet. 
         [0005]    When an electronic device equipped with rechargeable batteries is being used, the operating time of the device is limited to the available charge provided by at least one rechargeable battery. After the depletion of the batteries, the device must be connected to a power supply, i.e. 110V/220V AC power outlet in order to continue to operate and to recharge the batteries in the device. 
         [0006]    There are a number of problems associated with conventional means of powering or charging these devices:
       The devices have to be plugged into mains 110V/220V AC power outlet and hence if several are used together, they take up space in plug strips and create a messy and confusing tangle of wires.   The locations of the power outlets are fixed and the number of outlets is usually limited.       
 
         [0009]    U.S. Pat. No. 3,521,216, (1970), which is incorporated by reference for all purposes as if fully set forth herein, taught the use of plug and socket assembly incorporating magnetic means for attracting and holding a plug in a socket. 
         [0010]    There is thus a widely recognized need for, and it would be highly advantageous to have a power outlet plug and socket that do not require any alignment at all. 
         [0011]    The prior art does not teach or suggest such a tool. 
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0012]    An apparatus for transferring electrical power from a source plane, to one receiving device or to a plurality of receiving devices placed in various orientations on this source plane according to the present invention can overcome the described limitations. 
         [0013]    The apparatus includes a planar stationary unit and at least one mobile unit. 
         [0014]    According to one embodiment the planar stationary unit includes conductive plates embedded in the form of a grid in a non-conductive matrix. 
         [0015]    An example for the matrix material could be plastic but the matrix could be made of any material that is non-conductive. 
         [0016]    An example for the conductive plates embedded in the matrix material could be copper, but the conductive plates embedded in the matrix could be made of any material that is conductive. 
         [0017]    Each of the plates is connected to a power grid through a switch that is normally open. i.e., there is no voltage on the plates. 
         [0018]    Half of the plates are connected to the phase port of the electrical power grid and the other half are connected to the zero port of the electrical power grid. 
         [0019]    The plates are arranged in grid formation so that the four nearest neighboring plates of each plate are connected to the opposite port as the port that the plate itself is connected to. 
         [0020]    All the switches of the phase port are connected to a signal-receiving device and they can be turned on if in their proximity there is a device that transmits a specific signal to the receiving device. 
         [0021]    This transmitting device can transmit the signal (or code) through any form of transmission such as magnetic transmission, electromagnetic transmission, electrostatic transmission (capacitance), radio frequency (RF) transmission etc. 
         [0022]    All of the switches of the zero port are connected to a signal-receiving device and they can be turned on if in their proximity there is a device that transmits a specific signal (or code) to the receiving device. 
         [0023]    This transmitting device can transmit the signal (or code) through any form of transmission such as magnetic transmission, electromagnetic transmission, electrostatic transmission (capacitance), radio frequency (RF) transmission etc. 
         [0024]    The phase port switch cannot be turned on by the same transmission that turns on the zero port switches and the zero port switches cannot be turned on by the same transmission that turns on the phase port switches. 
         [0025]    According to the above embodiment, a mobile unit that is comprised of two large conductive plates is embedded in a planar and non-conductive frame. 
         [0026]    The plates in the mobile unit are significantly bigger than the distances between the plates in the planar stationary unit so that if placed on the planar stationary unit, each of the two plates in the mobile unit covers several plates embedded in the planar stationary unit. 
         [0027]    The distance between the plates in the mobile unit is greater than the largest dimension of the plates in the planar stationary unit so that no plate in the planar stationary unit can be in contact with both plates in the mobile unit. 
         [0028]    The width of the non-conductive frame surrounding the conductive plates is greater than the largest dimension of the plates in the planar stationary unit so that no plate in the planar stationary unit can touch a plane and extend beyond the frame at the same time. This is required for safety reasons: it is not permissible that a live plate would be exposed; hence, the mobile unit must cover it. 
         [0029]    Behind each plate in the mobile unit there is a transmitting device as mentioned before. 
         [0030]    Each transmitting device in the mobile unit is transmitting a different signal (or code). 
         [0031]    One transmitting device is transmitting the signal (or code) that causes the phase port switches to turn on. 
         [0032]    The opposite transmitting device is transmitting the signal (or code) that causes the zero port switches to turn on. 
         [0033]    The plate that has the transmitting device that is transmitting the signal (or code) that causes the phase port switches to turn on is called the “phase plate”. 
         [0034]    The plate that has the transmitting device that is transmitting the signal (or code) that causes the zero port switches to turn on is called the “zero plate”. 
         [0035]    Following is a summary of the stages of the method according to the present invention: 
         [0036]    When the mobile unit is placed on the planar stationary unit, both its zero plate and the phase plate are in contact with plates that are connected to the phase port and with plates that are connected to the zero port in the stationary unit. 
         [0037]    Of the plates that are in contact with the phase plate, only the switches that are connected to the phase port are switched on and thus an electrical connection is established between the phase plate and the phase port through the live plates. 
         [0038]    Of the plates that are in contact with the zero plate, only the switches that are connected to the zero port are switched on and thus an electrical connection is established between the zero plate and the zero port through the live plates. 
         [0039]    When any other device or being touches the planar stationary unit, and is in contact with the plates, it is not in electrical contact with the phase port or the zero port because the switches between the plates and the phase and zero ports are not on, thus, the exposed plates in the stationary unit are not “live” and are safe to touch.

         [0299]    This figure depicts the planar stationary unit phase wire  10   j .

         [0317]      FIG. 9   b  is a schematic diagram describing a possible arrangement of supplying the DC voltage from a mobile unit phase, ground, and zero assembly set  102 , to a receiving portable electronic device&#39;s phase plug  76 . 
         [0318]      FIG. 10  is a schematic top view schematic illustration of an exemplary, illustrative embodiment of an apparatus for transferring DC electrical power  203 , according to the present invention. 
         [0319]    The apparatus for transferring DC electrical power  203  includes a planar stationary unit plus and minus assembly sets grid  201 , and a mobile unit plus and minus assembly set  202 , also depicts several dimensions crucial to the safety of the apparatus for transferring electrical power, according to the present invention. 
         [0320]    Planar stationary unit phase switch assemblies  10  and mobile unit phase assembly  20  serve in this instance for conducting a straight positive current, while planar stationary unit zero assemblies  11  and mobile unit zero assembly  21  serve in this instance for conducting a straight negative current and are set in a non-conductive planar stationary unit plus and minus assembly sets grid body  202   a.    
         [0321]    d 1  is the largest length dimension of the planar stationary unit zero assembly  11  cross section area. 
         [0322]    d 2 , d 3  is the dimensions of the planar stationary unit plus and minus assembly sets grid body  202   a  around the mobile unit phase assembly  20 , and the mobile unit zero assembly  21 . 
         [0323]    d 4  is the distance between the mobile unit phase assembly  20  and the mobile unit zero assembly  21 . 
         [0324]    In order to prevent accidental contact between a live plate in the planar stationary plus and minus assembly sets grid  201  and a person there must be sufficient insulation around the mobile unit plus and minus assembly set  202 , and the mobile unit zero assembly  21 . 
         [0325]    This is achieved by making the non-conductive planar stationary unit plus and minus assembly sets grid body  202   a  large enough to overlap any live phase plates in the planar stationary unit plus and minus assembly sets grid  201 . Therefore, the dimensions d 2  and d 3  must be larger then d 1 . 
         [0326]    In order to prevent any shorts between the mobile unit phase assembly  20  plate and the mobile unit zero assembly  21  plate, the distance between them must be large enough so that no live power plate in the planar stationary unit plus and minus assembly sets grid  201  may touch both plates in the mobile unit plus and minus assembly set  202  simultaneously. 
         [0327]    This is achieved by making the distance between the mobile unit phase assembly  20  plate and the mobile unit zero assembly  21  plate larger than d 1 . This description refers to the case where all the dimensions of the planar stationary unit phase switch assemblies  10 , and the planar stationary unit zero assemblies  11  of the planar stationary unit plus and minus assembly sets grid  201 , are identical to each other. 
         [0328]    The mobile unit plus and minus assembly set  202  depict a case where the mobile unit phase assembly  20 , is greatly larger then a single planar stationary unit plus and minus assembly sets grid  201 . 
         [0329]    In such a case, it is not possible to use the planar stationary unit ground element  12  and the mobile unit ground element  22 , as they would cause shorts between one of the contact elements in the mobile unit plus and minus assembly set  202  contact elements in the planar stationary unit plus and minus assembly sets grid  201 . 
         [0330]    Such a large mobile unit plus and minus assembly set  202  (compared to a single planar stationary unit plus and minus assembly sets grid  201 ) ensures that there will always be at least one planar stationary unit phase switch assembly  10  under the mobile unit phase assembly  20 , and at least one planar stationary unit zero assembly  11  under the mobile unit zero assembly  21 , with no regards to the orientation of the mobile unit plus and minus assembly set  202  when placed on the planar stationary unit plus and minus assembly sets grid  201 . 
         [0331]      FIG. 11   a  is a schematic top view schematic illustration of an exemplary, illustrative embodiment of an apparatus for transferring DC electrical power, with concentric mobile unit  303  having a 1-D strip stationary unit  301  according to the present invention. 
         [0332]    The apparatus for transferring DC electrical power, with concentric mobile unit  303  includes a 1-D strip stationary unit  301  and a concentric mobile unit  302 . 
         [0333]    The 1-D strip stationary unit  301  includes a 1-D strip stationary unit body  301   a  with a flat surface area, in which a component array is set, each component having 1-D apparatus for transferring electrical power element  31 , such as ground element  31   g , phase element  31   p , zero element  31   z , and floating pad  31   fg , also having a flat surface area, and all on the same plane as the flat surface area of the 1-D strip stationary unit body  301   a.    
         [0334]    The component array includes side-by-side columns, each of which is composed of five components, as will be shown in  FIG. 11   c.    
         [0335]    The present illustration does not show the electrical contacts and wires of the 1-D strip stationary unit  301  and concentric mobile unit  302 . 
         [0336]    The dimension of the gap between adjacent columns and adjacent rows is marked in the present illustration as d 6 , while the height and width dimensions of each 1-D apparatus for transferring electrical power element  31  are marked as d 5 . 
         [0337]      FIG. 11   b  is a schematic top view schematic illustration of an exemplary, illustrative embodiment of a concentric mobile unit  302 , according to the present invention. 
         [0338]    The concentric mobile unit  302  includes a concentric mobile unit body  302   a  whose cross section has shape and dimensions which can contain at least a circle with a diameter D 4 , and which contains a concentric mobile unit ground magnet  32   ec , which has an external diameter D 3 , and a concentric mobile unit phase magnet  32   eb , which has an external diameter D 2 , both of which contain concentric mobile unit zero magnet  32   ea , which has an external diameter D 1 . One good optional dimension of D 1  is approximately 1.5 times the dimension of the gap d 6 , and the magnets are disposed concentrically. 
         [0339]    All of these diameters conform to the dimensions of d 5  and d 6 . 
         [0340]    Dimension D 4  is especially significant for ensuring that no ‘live’ 1-D apparatus for transferring electrical power element  31  of 1-D strip stationary unit  301  is exposed to human contact. Note that it is also possible to use a non-circular section shape can be used for the three magnetic cylinders described above. 
         [0341]      FIG. 11   c  is a schematic top view schematic illustration of an exemplary, illustrative embodiment of a single column of assemblies of the 1-D strip stationary unit ( 301 ), according to the present invention. At the top of the column is a ground element  31   g , which can be identical in structure to the planar stationary unit phase assembly contact element ( 10   a ) of the planar stationary unit phase switch assembly ( 10 ), however in this instance it serves for connecting to the DC ground. Following, is a phase element  31   p , an element of a 1-D strip stationary unit ground assembly  32 , as described in  FIG. 13 , which serves in this instance for connecting to the AC phase.

         [0352]    The present schematic illustration shows two cantilever version magnetic switches, a cantilever version ground element with magnet  34 , and a cantilever version floating pad element with electro-magnet  36 , for conducting a straight current, both in open mode, electrically connected serially to three cantilever version phase/zero element with electro-magnet  35 , which are also open and parallel connected to each other, and are designated to conduct an alternating current. The parallel electrical connection of the three Cantilever version phase/zero element with electro-magnet  35  is superior to serial connection, which is also possible, in order to achieve more uniformly timely and faster closure when their electro-magnet coils ( 32   q ) are conducting a straight electrical current.

         [0354]      FIG. 12   e  is a schematic electrical diagram of a single column of assemblies of the 1-D strip stationary unit ( 301 ), according to the present invention, armed. 
         [0355]    This state occurs when there are magnets facing ground element ( 31   g ) and the floating pad ( 31   fp ), which close all three cantilever version phase/zero element with electromagnet  35  and result in a straight current, when there is a power source, through the three electromagnet coils ( 32   q ) and magnetizing of the three electromagnet cores ( 32   p ) of the three electro-magnetic switches, the cantilever version phase/zero element with electromagnet  35 .

Also, instead of a planar stationary unit phase wire ( 10   j ) there is a 1-D strip stationary unit ground assembly voltage element wire  32   j.    
         [0359]    The electromagnet functions as a magnet and provides a magnetic force whose power and direction depend upon the electrical current conducted through the electromagnet coil  32   q , when there is such a current.

         [0362]    When a sufficiently powerful magnetic force is applied to the 1-D strip stationary unit floating pad assembly magnet  33   e , there is physical contact between the fixed phase element  33   k  and the 1-D strip stationary unit floating pad assembly voltage element  33   b , and electricity can be conducted between the fixed phase element wire  33   t  and the movable phase element wire  33   j , under adequate conditions.

         [0381]      FIG. 17   a  is a schematic top view schematic illustration of an exemplary, illustrative embodiment of an apparatus for transferring DC electrical power, with concentric mobile unit  303  having a 2-D strip stationary unit  401 , according to the present invention. 
         [0382]      FIG. 17   b  is a schematic top view schematic illustration of an exemplary, illustrative embodiment of one row of elements of a concentric mobile unit ( 302 ), and one elements column of a 2-D strip stationary unit ( 401 ), according to the present invention. 
         [0383]    The matrix is composed of a plurality of 2-D strip stationary unit ( 401 ) arranged with a single orientation. 
         [0384]    Here each 2-D strip stationary unit ( 401 ), except those in the end sides, includes three types of switching elements that can be in contact with of the contact elements of the concentric mobile unit ( 302 ). 
         [0385]    The three types of switching elements are a ground element  31   g  which is a magnetic double switch element made out of either, a cantilever version of a magnetic double switch ( 34 ) or an magnetic double switch ( 38 ), a phase element  31   p  made out of either a cantilever version of a electro-magnetic double switch assembly ( 35 ) or an electro-magnetic double switch ( 37 ), which in this case is an electromagnetic switch element, and a zero element  31   z  made out of either a cantilever version of a electro-magnetic double switch assembly ( 35 ) or an electro-magnetic double switch ( 37 ) which in this case is electro magnetic switch element. 
         [0386]    The ground elements  31   g  are actually double switches with two purposes: 
         [0387]    The ground switch  31   g  is a cantilever version of a magnetic double switch ( 34 ) or an magnetic double switch ( 38 ) with a magnet that when pulled by another magnet with the correct polarization does two things: 
         [0388]    Electrically connecting the 1-D apparatus for transferring electrical power element  31  to the ground. 
         [0389]    Activating a DC circuit that connects to the electromagnet in the “zero” and “phase” switches next to the ground switch from both sides. 
         [0390]    If the ground switch on the other side of the “zero” and “phase” switches is pulled by a magnet with the same polarization the DC circuits that activate the electromagnets in the “zero” and “phase” switches is closed and the electromagnets are activated as described by  FIGS. 17   c  and  17   e.    
         [0391]    This way, four magnets in a unique arrangement are required to create a power connection as described in  FIGS. 17   d  and  17   f.    
         [0392]    This arrangement is then arranged in a form of a matrix as described on  FIG. 17   b.    
         [0393]      FIG. 18  is a partial cut-away side view schematic illustration of an exemplary, illustrative embodiment of an electro-magnetic double switch  37 , according to the present invention. 
         [0394]    The structure of an electro-magnetic double switch assembly  37  is also similar to the structure of the planar stationary unit phase switch assembly ( 10 ), however, in this instance, there is a second contact element, an electro-magnetic double switch assembly DC contact element  37   v  in addition to the electro-magnetic double switch assembly contact element  37   a.    
         [0395]    The electro-magnetic double switch assembly DC contact element  37   v  is making contact with an electro-magnetic double switch assembly DC element  37   k . When a sufficiently powerful magnetic force is applied to the electro-magnetic double switch assembly electro-magnet  37   p , and electricity can be conducted between the electro-magnetic double switch assembly DC input wire  37   t  and the electro-magnetic double switch assembly DC output wire  37   u , under adequate conditions. 
         [0396]    Furthermore, the electro-magnetic double switch assembly  37  also includes an electro-magnetic double switch assembly shaft  37   c , an electro-magnetic double switch assembly magnet spring  37   f , an electro-magnetic double switch assembly voltage element spring  37   g , a electro-magnetic double switch assembly housing  37   h , and a electro-magnetic double switch assembly housing end disk  37   i.

         [0398]      FIG. 19  is a partial cut-away side view schematic illustration of an exemplary, illustrative embodiment of a magnetic double switch assembly  38 , according to the present invention. 
         [0399]    The structure of a magnetic double switch assembly  38  is similar to the structure of the electro-magnetic double switch assembly ( 37 ), however, in this instance; the electro-magnetic double switch assembly electromagnet core ( 37 P) is replaced by a magnet with magnetic double switch assembly first magnetic pole  38   x  and magnetic double switch assembly second magnetic pole  38   y.    
         [0400]    The second contact element, the magnetic double switch assembly DC contact element  38   v  is making contact with magnetic double switch assembly DC element  38   k . When a sufficiently powerful magnetic force is applied to the magnetic double switch assembly electro-magnet  38   p , and electricity can be conducted between the magnetic double switch assembly DC input wire  38   t  and the magnetic double switch assembly DC output wire  38   u , under adequate conditions. 
         [0401]    Furthermore, the magnetic double switch assembly  38  also includes a magnetic double switch assembly shaft  38   c , a magnetic double switch assembly electromagnet spring  38   f , a magnetic double switch assembly voltage element spring  38   g , a magnetic double switch assembly housing  38   h , and a magnetic double switch assembly housing end disk  38   i.    
         [0402]    The magnetic double switch assembly  38  can have a magnetic double switch assembly symmetry axis  38   l.

         [0404]    The operating concept of cantilever version of a magnetic double switch  34  is the same as in electro-magnetic double switch assembly  37 . 
         [0405]    However, in this instance, a single element, the cantilever version of a magnetic double switch assembly voltage element wire and assembly voltage element spring  34   jg  is acting as a wire and as a spring. 
         [0406]    The cantilever version of a magnetic double switch  34  also includes a cantilever version of a magnetic double switch assembly movable wire  34   v  and a cantilever version of a magnetic double switch assembly isolator  34   w , and a cantilever version of a magnetic double switch assembly isolator  34   u , arranged as can be seen at the Figure.

         [0408]    The operating concept of cantilever version of an electro-magnetic double switch  35  is the same as in the cantilever version of a magnetic double switch  34 . 
         [0409]    However, in this instance, the cantilever version of a magnetic double switch assembly magnet ( 34   e ) is replaced by a cantilever version of electro-magnetic double switch assembly coil  35   p.

         [0412]    However, in this instance, the cantilever version floating pad element contact element  36   a  is made out of a non-conductive material. 
         [0413]    Also in this instance, cantilever version floating pad element voltage element wire and assembly voltage element spring  36   jg  is being used to close a DC circuitry and conduct current to the cantilever version floating pad element coil wire  36   kt
