Abstract
Apparatus for providing electrical power to charge and/or operate an electrical device such as a mobile phone or tablet comprising means to convert electrical current from ac to dc that feeds at least one USB charging port A and at least one wirelessly charging transmitter B such as a coil to allow magnetic wireless charging of an electrical device. The apparatus fits into and is mounted to existing electrical outlet installation boxes via screw holes C in the apparatus. Preferably the electrical device to be charged is held in place by neodymium magnets that are placed into the wireless charger. Alternatively the fascia of the apparatus has a supporting structure D to provide support for a non-magnetic electrical device. Preferably a universal switch mode power supply (SMPS converts the electrical current from alternating current to direct current. Preferably the wireless charging circuit and USB charging ports form one printed circuit board.

Wireless wall charger
This invention relates to a device for charging mobile phones and tablets without the use of a charging adapter.
When people are away from a mains outlet, they tend to rely on a fully charged portable device to see them through their daily business. Often, a person would not cany a charging adapter for their portable device due to the inconvenience of carrying additional balkiness. Thus, finding themselves in a location where mains outlets are available, and not having the charging adapter to charge their portable device when needed. Additionally, most modern and future mobile devices are designed with a wireless charging feature which allows the user to charge their mobile device without plugging into any leads.
To overcome this, the present invention proposes a wall mounted wireless charger which fits into and replaces standard mains outlets readily available in home or public places.
The wail mounted wireless charger will aid charging portable devices in home or public places without the need of a charging adapter. The user simply needs to place their portable device in the proximity of the wail mounted wireless charger to wirelessly charge their portable device.
This method removes the need for the user to carry a charging adapter and finds a compatible solution for the different brands of device chargers in the market today.
Safe, reliable and easy to use wireless charging method for modern and future portable devices. Preferably, the wireless wail charger will have one or multi USB charging ports to be used with non-wireless charging technology.
Preferably, the wireless wall charger will be able to wirelessly charge two mobile phone devices simultaneously or one tablet.
The dimensions of the wireless wall charger are designed to lit into existing power socket outlets, giving flexibility to interchange and easily convert power sockets into a wireless charging hub.
Figure 1 shows the front facia of the wireless charger with the device holder.
Figure 2 shows a 3D side profile design of the wireless charging unit with a device holder.
Figure 3 shows the back profile of the wireless charging unit, showing the facia profile, the electronic components fitted inside the fabric of the building.
Figure 4 shows a different design of invention. This figure shows a magnetic wireless charger front profile.
Figure 5 shows a 3D side profile design of the magnetic wireless charger.
Figure 6 shows a back profile of the magnetic wireless charger fitted inside the fabric of building. Figure 7 is a block diagram showing the functional composition of the wireless charger of the present invention.
Figure 1 shows the wireless wall charger front facia, having multiple USB outputs A.
B are the wireless charging transmitter to provide power to a device via magnetic induction.
C shows the screw holes for in which the wireless charger will be fixed embedded to the wall casing (Non-conductive material or by fire retardant plastic). D is the front profile of the device holder.
Figure 2 shows a side profile of the front casing in which will be visible, as noticed the facia casing comes out forming a 3D version of the invention. D is to provide a supporting structure for nonmagnetic mobile handheld devices where they can be placed during the charging period. Free from placing on top of surfaces for example: Tables, worktops and etc.
Figure 3 shows a back profile of the wireless wall charger. F shows the side profile of the facia.
G shows the casing for the electronic components attached to the rear of the facia. The back profile will be embedded inside the fabric of the building E, by non-conductive materials or fire retardant installation boxes.
Figure 4 shows the front profile of a different version of the wireless wail charger. The charger will work by attaching a portable device which is held in place by neodymium magnets placed inside the wireless charger. This model has the capability to wireless charge multiple devices B. This model has also a function of charging non-wireless technology by USB outlets A.
This model can be installed with screws having the appropriate screw holes C or by screw less plate.
Figure 5 shows the side profile of the wireless wail charger.
A are the USB outlets, B are the wireless apparatus. C are the screw holes.
Figure S show the wireless wall charger back profile. F is the wireless magnetic facia of the product.
G shows the casing for the electronic components of the invention and magnets. E is the fabric of building.
Figure 7 shows how the apparatus functions: The commercial AC source 1 is feed into the apparatus via the Universal Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) 2, this in turn transforms the AC source into DC which feeds the Wireless Charging Circuit 3 and the USB charging ports 4/5.
The wireless charging circuit 3 feeds the Contactless Charging Coil 8.
is the Magnetic Wireless Charging Apparatus.
