Porter air touch

Abstract

The Porter Air Touch is a wireless powered LED drinking glass with internal LED lights that emits light but does not require internal batteries. The drinking glass internal LED lights receive energy via a large flat surface that emits an electromagnetic field. The electromagnetic field emitted from the two inductive plates permeates through a non-conductive barrier that reaches the bottom of the LED drinking glass. Two metallic drinking glass aluminum contact plates along the bottom of the LED drinking glasses absorb the electromagnetic energy from the inductive plates and powers the LED lights wirelessly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(5) The Porter Air Touch Wireless Powered LED Drinking glass system consist of a circuit for creating an electromagnetic field that is imbedded in a flat surface, such as a table, furniture, countertop or paper. A second circuit is placed inside the LED drinking glass that receives an induced voltage via the flat electromagnetic field surface; which allows the internal LEDS in the LED drinking glass to emit light without internal batteries. The LED drinking glasses are placed on a non-conductive surface such as paper or vinyl and beneath the non-conductive material are two inductive plates that emit an electromagnetic field.

(6) The circuit that creates an electromagnetic field in the inductive plates (6,7) consist of a NPN transistor (4), coil 1 (1), coil 2 (2), coil 3 (3) and five 10 k ohm resistors (5). The NPN transistor (4), and coil 1 (1), and five 10 k ohm resistors (5) convert 3 to 4 volts DC at 600 ma from an AC to DC wall adapter into an alternating current that emits from coil 1 (1). A wire is connected to the collector of the NPN transistor (4) and the other end of the wire connects to coil 2 (2); which is connected to inductive plate 1 (6). An additional wire is connected to a point between the five 10 k ohm resistors (5) and coil 1 (1) and the other end of the wire connects to coil 3 (3); which is connected to inductive plate 2 (7). Coil 2 and Coil 3 (2,3) receive and induced voltage from Coil 1 (1) that strengthens the electromagnetic field in inductive plate 1 (6) and inductive plate 2 (7); which increases the brightness of the LEDs inside the LED drinking glasses.

(7) The circuit inside of the LED drinking glass consist of three LED (10) lights wired in series negative to positive. One wire is connected to a point between a negative lead from one LED (10) and the positive lead of another LED (10); which is connected to one of the two drinking glass contacts (11) on the bottom of the LED drinking glass (8). A second wire is connected between a second point on another positive lead of one LED light (10) and negative lead of another LED light (10); which is connected to the other drinking glass contact (11) on the bottom of the LED drinking glass (8). A third wire is connected between a third point between the negative and positive lead of two adjacent LED lights (10); which is connected to the touch sensing switch (9).

(8) The LED drinking glass (8) LED lights (10) can be activated to emit light in several ways. Placing the LED drinking glass (8) on the non-conductive barrier (12) with inductive plate one (6) directly beneath the non-conductive barrier will cause the LEDs (10) in the LED drinking glass to emit light when the touch sensing switch (9) senses a human touch. Placing the LED drinking glass (8) on the non-conductive barrier (12) with inductive plate 1 (6) beneath the non-conductive barrier under one of the drinking glass contacts (11) and inductive plate 2 (7) beneath non-conductive barrier (12) under the adjacent drinking glass contact (11) will allow the LED drinking glass LEDs to emit light without a human touch.
