PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a charging system of a powered device on a vehicle.SOLUTION: A charging system for one or more powered devices 32a, 32b on a vehicle may be implemented on support components 22 of the vehicle which may be movable with respect to one another to accomplish a function. When the support components are in a first position, a power unit 34 in communication with a power source of the vehicle may be used to charge a rechargeable power storage unit 30 proximal to the power unit. The power storage unit, in turn, may provide power to the one or more powered devices. When the support components are in a second position, in order to accomplish a work function, the charged power storage unit may continue to provide power to the powered devices despite the power storage unit and the powered devices being distal to the power unit and the power source. In addition, or in the alternative, a contact based charging system may be implemented to charge the rechargeable power storage unit in the first position.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 |
