Abstract
Abstract An electric power transmitting device transmits electric energy from one coil to another coil through an inductive coupling therebetween. One of the coils has an end bent in the axial direction of the coil. When the other coil is to be inserted into said one coil, it can be inserted in not only the axial direction of said one coil, but also a direction transverse to the axial direction through the bent end of the coil. Said one of the coils is typically housed in a holder, and the other coil in the grip of a gun-shaped, hand-held bar-code scanner. When the grip is inserted into a groove defined in the holder, the coils are magnetically coupled to each other, thus providing an inductive coupling. The bar-code scanner can easily be placed on and removed from the holder.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
An electric power transmitting device comprising: a first coil; a second coil which can be combined with said first coil to provide an inductive coupling therebetween; means for supplying a current which is variable in magnitude with time to said first coil to induce an electric current across said second coil through said inductive coupling; one of said first and second coils having a bent portion extending along the axial direction of said one of the coils; the other of said first and second coils being insertable into said one of the coils through sand bent portion; and the arrangement being such that said first and second coils can be disposed in substantially one plane, and said other of the coils can be moved into and out of said one of the coils in the axial direction of said one of the coils and in a direction transverse to said axial direction.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
152 words
