SECONDARY COIL STRUCTURE OF INDUCTIVE CHARGING SYSTEM FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES
First Claim
1. A secondary coil for an electric vehicle charging system, comprising(a) a first sheet of material having top and bottom surfaces;
- (b) a coil connected with said top surface of said first sheet, said coil having an axis generally normal to a plane containing said first sheet;
(c) a second sheet of material having top and bottom surfaces, said second sheet being connected with said first sheet with said coil arranged between said first sheet top surface and said second sheet bottom surface to form the secondary coil structure, the secondary coil structure being configured to match the configuration of a component of the vehicle with which the secondary coil structure is connected.

Abstract
A secondary coil structure for an electric vehicle charging system is characterized by a flexible sheet of synthetic plastic material which acts as a substrate for a coil connected with the top surface of the sheet. The coil has an axis generally normal to the sheet. A second sheet of material is connected with the first sheet with the coil arranged between the sheets. The secondary coil may be configured to match the configuration of a component of the vehicle with which the secondary coil is connected. When electric current is introduces into the coil, the coil generates an elongated magnetic field with a lower maximum value in the vicinity of the vehicle components than that created by a conventionally wound coil, thereby minimizing heat generated in steel components of the vehicle body.
