TRANSMISSION-GUARD SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AN INDUCTIVE POWER SUPPLY
First Claim
1. A transmission-guard system for preventing an inductive power outlet from transmitting power in the absence of an inductive power receiver coupled thereto, said inductive power outlet comprising at least one primary inductor connectable to a power supply, for inductively coupling with a secondary inductor wired to an electric load, said transmission-guard comprising at least one transmission-lock for preventing said primary inductor from connecting to said power supply in the absence of a transmission-key.

Abstract
A transmission-guard is disclosed for preventing an inductive power outlet from transmitting power in the absence of an inductive power receiver. A transmission lock is associated with an inductive power outlet and a transmission key is associated with an inductive power receiver. The transmission lock is configured to prevent a primary inductor from connecting to the power supply unless triggered by a release signal via the transmission key.

18. A transmission-lock configured to prevent a primary inductor of an inductive power outlet from connecting with a power supply thereby preventing said inductive power outlet from transmitting power in the absence of an electric load inductively coupled thereto said transmission-lock further configured to be released by a transmission-key associated with an inductive power receiver.
-
19. A transmission-key configured to release a transmission-lock associated with an inductive power outlet thereby allowing a primary inductor of an inductive power outlet to connect with a power supply such that said inductive power outlet transmits power to an inductive power receiver coupled thereto.

20. A method for preventing an inductive power outlet from transmitting power in the absence of an inductive power receiver coupled thereto, comprising:
-
providing at least one transmission-lock configured to prevent a primary inductor of said inductive power outlet from connecting to a power supply; providing at least one transmission-key configured to release said transmission-lock; associating said at least one transmission-key with said at least one inductive power receiver such that said transmission-lock is released when said at least one inductive power receiver is coupled thereto.
