Abstract

A portable power charging kit includes a portable power charging unit comprising a charger housing and a unit of clothing adapted for receiving the portable power charging unit and for aligning the portable power charging unit to an electronic device to be recharged.

Claims

1. A portable power charging kit comprising:

a portable power charging unit comprising a charger housing having a rechargeable battery internally disposed therein; and

a unit of clothing adapted for removably receiving the portable power charging unit and for aligning the portable power charging unit with an electronic device to be recharged.

2. The portable power charging kit of claim 1, wherein the portable power charging unit comprises a power input connector cable, and wherein the rechargeable internal battery is configured to be recharged via direct connection with an external power source via the power input connector cable.

3. The portable power charging kit of claim 1, wherein the charger housing comprises a power connection port, and wherein the rechargeable internal battery is configured to be recharged via direct connection with an external power source via a separate connector cable that engages the power connection port.

4. The portable power charging kit of claim 1, further comprising a wireless receiver, wherein the rechargeable internal battery is configured to be recharged by wireless power transmission.

5. The portable power charging kit of claim 1, wherein the portable power charging unit comprises a power output connector cable, and wherein the portable power charging unit is configured to recharge an electronic device via direct connection with the electronic device via the power output connector cable.

6. The portable power charging kit of claim 1, wherein the charger housing comprises a power connection port, and wherein the portable power charging unit is configured to recharge an electronic device via direct connection with the electronic device via a separate connector cable that engages the power connection port.

7. The portable power charging kit of claim 1, further comprising a wireless transmitter, wherein the portable power charging unit is configured to recharge an electronic device via wireless power transmission.

8. The portable power charging kit of claim 1, further comprising:

a wireless receiver; and

a wireless transmitter;

wherein the rechargeable internal battery is configured to be recharged by wireless power transmission, and

wherein the portable power charging unit is configured to recharge an electronic device via wireless power transmission.

9. The portable power charging kit of claim 1, wherein the charging housing comprises a micro-USB input for directly recharging the internal rechargeable battery.

10. The portable power charging kit of claim 1, wherein the charging housing comprises a USB output for directly charging an electronic device from the internal rechargeable battery.

11. The portable power charging kit of claim 1, where in the unit of clothing comprises a multi-pocket system, wherein the multi-pocket system is configured to hold, align and secure the portable power charging unit and an electronic device in place relative to one another for charging.

12. The portable power charging kit of claim 11, wherein the multi-pocket system comprises:

a first pocket; and

a second pocket;

wherein the first pocket is sized to the shape of the portable power charging unit such that when the portable power charging unit is located within the first pocket the position of the portable power charging unit is known, and

wherein the second pocket is configured to align an electronic device with a transmission area of the portable power charging unit for wireless charging.

13. The portable power charging kit of claim 12, wherein the second pocket comprises at least one strap configured to secure an electronic device.

14. The portable power charging kit of claim 12, wherein the multi-pocket system comprises a fabric wall separating the first pocket and second pocket, and wherein the fabric wall is configured to not inhibit the portable power charging unit from wirelessly charging the electronic device.

15. The portable power charging kit of claim 14, wherein the fabric wall comprises an opening capable of allowing a cable to extend through the opening from the first pocket into the second pocket.

16. The portable power charging kit of claim 14, wherein the first pocket is accessible through a first opening on the interior of the unit of the clothing, and wherein the second pocket is accessible through a second opening on the exterior of the unit of the clothing.

17. The portable power charging kit of claim 14, wherein the first pocket and the second pocket are accessible from a common opening.

18. A portable power charging kit comprising:

a unit of clothing; and

a portable power charging unit comprising a charger housing and a rechargeable battery unit internally disposed therein, said portable power charging unit being embedded between fabric layers of the unit of clothing,

wherein the unit of clothing incorporates a pocket adapted for receiving an electronic device and placing said device in alignment with the embedded portable power charging unit.
