Induction charging machine, methods, and system for a data reader
First Claim
1. A data reading system mountable onto a material transport device having a first section, a primary power supply mounted on the first section, and a second section movable with respect to the first section, the data reading system comprising:
- a data reader disposed on the second section of the material transport device, the data reader comprising a power source and an induction power receiving unit; and
an induction power transmission unit disposed on the first section of the material transport device and connected to the primary power supply of the material transport device;
wherein the induction power receiving unit is located proximate the induction power transmission unit when the second section is disposed in a given position with respect to the first section, whereby the induction power transmission unit transmits power to the induction power receiving unit for charging the power source of the data reader.

Abstract
A data reading system is mountable onto a material transport device having a first section, a primary power supply and a second section movable with respect to the first section. The data reading system comprises a data reader disposed on the second section of the material transport device, the data reader comprising a power source and an induction power receiving unit. The data reading system also comprises an induction power transmission unit disposed on the first section of the material transport device and connected to the primary power supply of the material transport device. The induction power receiving unit is located proximate the induction power transmission unit when the second section is disposed in a given position with respect to the first section, whereby the induction power transmission unit transmits power to the induction power receiving unit for charging the power source of the data reader.

8. A method for use with an apparatus mounted on a movable member of an article transport device, wherein the article transport device comprises a main power supply and the apparatus comprises a local power source, the method comprising:
-
providing an induction power transmission unit electrically connected to the main power supply; and
providing an induction receiving unit electrically connected to the local power supply of the apparatus such that, when the induction power receiving unit is in a given position proximate the induction power transmission unit, power from the induction power transmitting unit is transmitted to the induction power receiving unit by induction to thereby charge the local power source of the apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A material transport machine comprising:
-
a first section, a primary power supply mounted on the first section, and a second section movable with respect to the first section;
an electric powered apparatus mounted on the second section, the electric powered apparatus comprising a chargeable power source;
an induction power transmission unit attached to the first section and conductively connected to the primary power supply such that the primary power supply supplies power to the induction power transmission unit; and
an induction power receiving unit attached to the second section and conductively connected to the power source of the electric powered apparatus, wherein the induction power receiving unit is located proximate the induction power transmission unit when the second section is disposed in a given position with respect to the first section, whereby the induction power transmission unit transmits power to the induction power receiving unit in said given position for charging the power source of the electric powered apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
