Electrical Charging Case for Wireless Headsets

摘要

A charging case for a plurality of headsets is disclosed. Each headset includes two headphone units connected together in opposing relationship along a diametric axis by a headband. Each headset contains a battery and a charge receiving circuit coupled to the battery. The charging case comprises a portable, cylindrically shaped carrying case and a charging station contained in the carrying case. The charging station includes a plurality of charging receptacles and a charge distribution circuit. The charging receptacles are disposed in a circular pattern about a center area and are configured to support the headsets, respectively, in an orientation where the diametric axes of the headsets are positioned radially in the circular pattern. The distribution circuit distributes electricity to the charging receptacles. At each receptacle electricity is transferred to the charge receiving circuit of a headset when the headset is in the receptacle, to charge the battery of the headset.

主权项

1. An electrical charging case for storing and charging a plurality of headsets, each headset including first and second headphone units connected together in opposing relationship along a diametric axis by a headband, and each headset containing a battery and a charge receiving circuit coupled to the battery, said charging case comprising:
(a) a portable carrying case; and (b) a charging station, contained in said carrying case, including—
(i) a plurality of charging receptacles disposed in a circular pattern about a center area and configured to receive and support the plurality of headsets, respectively, in an orientation where the diametric axes of the headsets are positioned radially in the circular pattern, and(ii) a charge distribution circuit, coupled to the plurality of charging receptacles, for distributing electricity to each of the charging receptacles, the charge distribution circuit having a charge transfer mechanism associated with each of the charging receptacles, the charge transfer mechanism of each receptacle transferring the electricity distributed to the receptacle to the charge receiving circuit of a headset of the plurality of headsets when the headset is supported in the receptacle, whereby the battery of the headset receives the electricity and is charged thereby.
