Contactless Charging System for Musical Instruments
First Claim
1. A contactless charging system for an electronic musical instrument, the system comprising:
- an instrument stand configured to support a musical instrument thereon;
a first contactless charging port integrally disposed on said music stand;
said first contactless charging port configured for substantially continuous physical electric contact with a power source;
a charging circuit module configured for being disposed on the musical instrument in physical electrical contact therewith;
said charging circuit module including circuit elements configured to provide at least one predetermined voltage to at least one rechargeable power supply;
said charging circuit module including a second contactless charging port disposed in physical electrical contact with said circuit elements;
said second contactless charging port configured for contactless charging engagement with said first contactless charging port to receive power from the power source.

Abstract
A contactless charging system for an electric musical instrument includes an instrument stand configured to support a musical instrument, and which includes a contactless charging port configured for connection to a power source such as an electric wall outlet. A charging circuit module is configured for incorporation within the musical instrument, and includes a second contactless charging port in physical electrical contact with circuit elements configured to provide at least one predetermined voltage to at least one rechargeable portable power supply. The second contactless charging port is configured for contactless charging engagement with the first contactless charging port, so that the second port receives power from the power source when the instrument is placed in the stand.
