Abstract
A charging system (100) for charging electronic devices. The charging system (100) includes a power distributor (110) and a power receiver (112) in which the power distributor (110) transfers power to the power receiver (112) when the power receiver (112) engages the power distributor (110). The power receiver (112) induces a charging current in an article that is supported by the power receiver (112). The power receiver (112) can include an inductor plate (146) having a first charging coil (148), and the article can be a garment (156) having an embedded electronic device (158). The garment (156) can include a second charging coil (162), and the first charging coil (148) can induce the charging current in the second charging coil (162).
