Inductive lighting system for vehicle cup holders
The patent US12024088B2 describes a novel lighting system designed specifically for vehicle cup holders. This system includes a first inductive member positioned at the back of the cup holder, which is connected to a first controller that facilitates the inductive coupling of power and command signals. A lighting device is situated at the front of the cup holder, featuring a second inductive member that interacts with the first. The lighting device is equipped with at least one light and a second controller that operates the light based on the signals received from the first inductive member. The system allows for customizable lighting options, including controllable color and intensity, enhancing the user experience within the vehicle.
Additionally, the lighting device is housed in a water-resistant enclosure, which can feature various designs, such as a translucent cover or a combination of translucent and opaque materials. The system may also include user input options, such as a switch or a wireless receiver, enabling interaction with a wireless user device. The claims further detail the technical specifications of the inductive members, which consist of coils, and outline the method for implementing this lighting system in a vehicle. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive solution for integrating advanced lighting features into vehicle cup holders, focusing on functionality and user customization.
