Battery Charger Having Oblique Coupling Rails

View page
US Patent:
7541774, Jun 2, 2009
Filed:
Apr 30, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/117798
Inventors:
Karl Zedell - Alpharetta GA, US
Yoshitaka Matsuzawa - Atlanta GA, US
Mark C. Taraboulos - Chamblee GA, US
Assignee:
Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL
International Classification:
H02J 7/00
US Classification:
320114, 320110, 320112, 320113
Abstract:
A battery charger with an improved battery retention system is provided. The battery charger includes at least one pocket having a bottom and sidewalls. A pair of battery engagement rails, or coupling rails, extends outward into the pocket at an angle that is non-orthogonal with the sidewalls. These non-orthogonal rails, which may include embedded electrical contacts, mate with non-orthogonal female slots in a battery pack housing. The non-orthogonal angle prevents lateral forces applied to the battery from causing intermittent electrical connections between the battery pack and the charger. Additionally, the non-orthogonal angle of the rails allows batteries of various sizes to be inserted into the pocket while ensuring a consistent and reliable electrical connection.

Charger And Battery Combination With Retention Arms And Mating Members

View page
US Patent:
7642744, Jan 5, 2010
Filed:
Feb 14, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/031672
Inventors:
Thinh T. Nguyen - Alpharetta GA, US
Mark C. Taraboulos - Dunwoody GA, US
Assignee:
Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL
International Classification:
H02J 7/00
US Classification:
320107, 320112, 320114, 320115
Abstract:
A charger and battery combination for recharging batteries has a pair of snap arms for retaining a battery within the pocket of the charger. When the battery is inserted into the charger pocket, the snap arms provide a downward force against the battery, thereby ensuring a sound electrical connection between the battery and electrical contacts disposed within the pocket. In one embodiment, the charger pocket includes a pair of channel apertures in which the snap arms are placed. Upon battery insertion, a flex member of the snap arm deflects, thereby allowing a mating feature of the battery to pass. When the battery is fully inserted, a coupling member of the snap arm exerts a force against the battery, thereby pushing the battery towards the bottom of the pocket.

Battery Pack Having Non-Orthogonal Coupling Slots

View page
US Patent:
7722982, May 25, 2010
Filed:
May 5, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/122915
Inventors:
Karl Zedell - Alpharetta GA, US
Wooi Heong Chew - Pul, MY
Yoshitaka Matsuzawa - Atlanta GA, US
Mark C. Taraboulos - Chamblee GA, US
Swee Theam Thor - Pul, MY
Assignee:
Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL
International Classification:
H01M 2/10
US Classification:
429 97, 429 96, 429 99, 429151, 429163, 429176
Abstract:
This invention includes a battery pack having an improved battery retention system for coupling to another device, like a desktop charger. The battery pack, which includes one rechargeable cell and optional circuitry, has an exterior housing that is generally rectangular in cross section. The exterior housing, which includes major faces and intersection seams, has at least two female slots that project inward at an angle that is non-orthogonal to the major faces or intersection seams. These non-orthogonal slots, when coupling to corresponding non-orthogonal rails in the pocket of a battery charger, allow batteries of various sizes to be inserted into a single charger pocket with reliable and consistent electrical connections between the electrical contacts of the pocket and the charging terminals of the battery. Electrical contacts may be disposed within the non-orthogonal slots, thereby improving both the function and aesthetic appearance of the battery pack.

Battery Interface Assembly For A Communication Device

US Patent:
8150476, Apr 3, 2012
Filed:
Feb 29, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/040288
Inventors:
Christopher D. Crawford - Hollywood FL, US
Jorge L. Garcia - Plantation FL, US
Mark C. Taraboulos - Dunwoody GA, US
Assignee:
Motorola Solutions, Inc. - Schaumburg IL
International Classification:
H04B 1/38
H04M 1/00
US Classification:
455572, 4555751, 4555501
Abstract:
A battery interface assembly for a communication device (), such as a portable radio, is provided to ensure a reliable interconnection between battery contacts () and radio contacts (). Communication device () includes a casting () having a cavity () with two apertures formed therein (). The two apertures () open into the cavity () to provide a point of contact for mating radio contacts () to the battery contacts (). The battery contacts () are wiping contacts which mate with the radio contacts () as the battery is slid into the casting (). A compression seal () is provided to the radio contacts () while a radial seal () is provided about the battery contacts () to ensure reliable electrical and physical connection under a variety of environments.

Inertia Enhanced Latching System

View page
US Patent:
20100221589, Sep 2, 2010
Filed:
Feb 27, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/395043
Inventors:
CHARLES W. FRIEDLI - LAWRENCEVILLE GA, US
KEVIN K. MAGGERT - LAWRENCEVILLE GA, US
MARK C. TARABOULOS - DUNWOODY GA, US
Assignee:
MOTOROLA, INC. - SCHAUMBURG IL
International Classification:
H01M 2/10
H01M 2/00
US Classification:
429 96, 429123
Abstract:
An electronic device and battery are presented. The electronic device includes the battery, which has a first latch. The first latch has an arm and a hook. The arm is connected with the battery at a connected end and the hook at a free end opposed to the connected end. The hook forms a peak and a base connected with the free end. The base forms an inwardly projecting groove. The electronic device also includes a device housing forming a main cavity bound by first and second side surfaces, a rear surface and a bottom surface. The first side surface includes a ledge for receiving the groove and defines a latch cavity for receiving the first latch. In an engaged position, the peak extends into the latch cavity and the groove engages the ledge.

Contact Retention System

View page
US Patent:
59103809, Jun 8, 1999
Filed:
Mar 27, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/049733
Inventors:
Mark Taraboulos - Chamblee GA
William Phelps III - Lawrenceville GA
Fauzi Yahaya - Gelugor, MY
Assignee:
Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL
International Classification:
H01M00210
US Classification:
429100
Abstract:
A contact retention system for a housing for a battery cell is described which comprises a springy L-shaped retention member, a battery housing with a wall and a floor, with a catchment on both the wall and the floor, and contacts disposed between the base of the L-shaped retention member and the floor of the housing. The vertex of the L-shaped retention member is pushed toward the corner of the wall and the floor of the housing, and the ends of the L are restrained by the catchments. Any force exerted on the upper portion of the L-shaped retention member, pushing the upper portion toward the wall, causes the base of the L-shaped retention member to push the contacts toward the floor of the housing. The battery cells themselves provide the force on the upper portion of the L-shaped retention member. The contact system provides low-cost, easily manufacturable way to secure push-in contacts to a battery housing.
