Abstract
An electrical recharger unit (10) comprising a master (12) and slave (14) device each having electromagnetic coils capable of being brought into close or touching proximity to one another. A power supply delivers electrical currents to an electromagnetic coil of the master device. The electromagnetic coils are wound onto a transformer core and primary transfer means made at least partially of a ferromagnetic polymer material is associated with an end of each core to provide enhanced contact between the master and slave device.
