US Patent:

20050263596, Dec 1, 2005

Filed:

May 12, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/127299

Inventors:

Craig Nelson - Melbourne FL, US
Robert Singleton - Plant City FL, US

International Classification:

G06K007/06

US Classification:

235441000

Abstract:

Convenient, portable chargers for recharging a secondary battery in an electronically readable card which can be in sleeve form. The portable chargers are lightweight and portable and desirably have dimensions that are not much larger than those of an electronically readable card. The chargers may include a connector such as a sleeve for securing an electronically readable card, a power source for providing recharging power and a power interface for delivering the recharging power from the power source to the electronically readable card. The power source may take on a variety of forms including another battery, a photovoltaic array or a direct plug connection to a electric wall outlet, Universal Serial Bus port or a telephone jack. In some embodiments the portable chargers charge the battery in an electronically readable card by inductive coupling.

Craig Nelson - Melbourne FL, US
Robert Singleton - Plant City FL, US
Michael Scruggs - Lakeland FL, US
Wade Guindy - Henderson NV, US

International Classification:

H01M 2/30
H01M 10/40
H01M 2/02

US Classification:

429065000, 429178000, 429314000, 429162000

Abstract:

Improved battery packaging and constructions for batteries, particularly thin, flat-profile packaged batteries are provided. The battery packaging constructions may eliminate the need for soldering by providing current collector tabs coated by electrically conductive adhesive tape such as z-axis conductive tape and may provide support for current collector tabs and a regular battery perimeter by providing supportive battery packaging and/or frame materials. Better fabrication results, particularly when the batteries are used in smart cards, RFID tags, and medical devices.
