Abstract

An automated provider of predesigned mechanical motion to self powered cell phones is disclosed which avoids the need for users thereof to perform manual manipulations of the phones for power restorative purposes. An optimized kinetic generator of electrical currents for such phones is also disclosed based upon use of a linear wire coil-wrapped tubular raceway through which a permanent magnetic member moves in substantially perpendicular orientation of its magnetic flux relative to the wire coils.

Claims

1. A method of automatically restoring operating power to self powered cell phones which comprise:

securing a self powered cell phone to a mechanical support;

activating the support into predesigned motion which imparts power restorative motion to the cell phone; and

maintaining the predesigned motion of the support for controlled time periods;

thereby causing the cell phone to self generate electrical currents and restore its operating power during such time periods.

2. The method according to claim 1 which comprises securing the cell phone in a predetermined position in the mechanical support.

3. The method according to claim 2 which comprises securing the cell phone on one of its sides in the support so that a plane through its thickness is oriented vertically upward.

4. The method according to claim 1 which comprises activating and maintaining the predesigned motion of the support through the use of mechanical energy.

5. The method according to claim 4 which comprises deriving the mechanical energy from the wound mainspring of a mechanical clock movement.

6. The method according to claim 1 which comprises activating and maintaining the predesigned motion of the support through the use of electrical energy.

7. The method according to claim 6 wherein the electrical energy is sourced from an AC power cord, an AC adaptor or a battery and used to operate an electric motor.

8. An automated motion provider for self powered cell phones which comprises:

means for securing a self powered cell phone to a mechanical support;

means for activating the support into predesigned motion which imparts power restorative physical motion to the cell phone when secured to said support;

means for maintaining the predesigned motion of the support for controlled time periods, thereby causing the cell phone to self generate electrical currents and restore its operating power during such time periods; and

said means for activating and maintaining the predesigned motion enabling the use of solely mechanical energy and at least one source of electrical energy comprising an AC adaptor, an AC power cord or a battery.

9. The automated motion provider according to claim 8 wherein said means for activating and maintaining the predesigned motion enables the use of solely electrical energy sourced from at least one of an AC adaptor, an AC power cord or a battery.
