Patent ID: 7566984

Claim:
A vehicle cabin power transfer arrangement comprising: a vehicle cabin structure having an accessory receiving recess at least partially defined by a power transfer surface that is accessible from a vehicle cabin and a side wall that at least partially forms an insertion aperture; a primary inductor power transfer unit disposed in the vehicle cabin structure such that induction current produced by the primary inductor power transfer unit emits through the power transfer surface to create an induction field proximate to the power transfer surface and within the accessory receiving recess; an accessory including a mating portion with a secondary inductor power transfer unit disposed in the mating portion, the mating portion being releasably received within the accessory receiving recess of the vehicle cabin structure such that the secondary inductor power transfer unit is located within the induction field when in a charging position; a movement prevention structure positioned on the side wall for engaging the accessory to prevent perpendicular movement of the secondary inductor power transfer unit with respect to the power transfer surface such that the secondary inductor power transfer unit remains within the induction field; and a vehicle power source electrically coupled to the primary inductor power transfer unit.
