Implement rack and system for energizing implements

Implement rack and system for energizing implements description/claims

A variety of rechargeable electronic implements now exist. For example, line trimmers, leaf blowers and hedge trimmers are now rechargeable devices. While the devices are very convenient, recharging the devices is difficult.

Each device may have a slightly different adapter and charger. Thus, to use several different devices requires the user to have a plethora of different chargers and adapters. Further, since the rechargeable electronic implements are often bulky, the placement of the chargers and adapters causes additional logistical problems.

A rack to enable easy recharging of electronic implements is therefore highly desirable.

FIG. 1 shows tool recharging rack.

FIG. 2 shows an additional embodiment of an inductive charging rack.

FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment of an inductive charging rack.

FIG. 4 shows a further embodiment of an inductive charging rack.

FIG. 5 shows a garment.

FIG. 6 shows an enhanced garment.

FIG. 7 shows an enhanced hanger.

FIG. 8 shows an enhanced garment with an inductive secondary.

As used herein, the phrase “coupled with” is defined to mean directly connected to or indirectly connected through one or more intermediate components. Such intermediate components may include both hardware and software based components.

FIG. 1 shows tool recharging rack 10. Electronic implements 12, 14, and 16 are arranged within holders 17 of recharging rack 10.

Recharging rack 10 includes controller 18. Controller 18 regulates the supply of power to inductive primary 20 by ballast 22. Ballast 22 could be an adoptive ballast such as the one described in U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. 10/689,499 and 10/175,095, assigned to the assignee of this application. U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. 10/689,499 and 10/175,095 are hereby incorporated by reference.
