An inductive power supply system for providing power to one or more inductively powered devices. The system includes a mechanism for varying the physical distance or the respective orientation between the primary coil and secondary coil to control the amount of power supplied to the inductively powered device. In another aspect, the present invention is directed to an inductive power supply system having a primary coil and a receptacle disposed within the magnetic field generated by the primary coil. One or more inductively powered devices are placed randomly within the receptacle to receive power inductively from the primary coil. The power supply circuit includes circuitry for adjusting the power supplied to the primary coil to optimize operation based on the position and cumulative characteristics of the inductively powered device(s) disposed within the receptacle.
The invention claimed is: 1. An inductively powered device comprising: a power supply circuit having a primary, said power supply circuit applying power to said primary to generate a magnetic field; a secondary assembly having a secondary circuit with a secondary and a load, said secondary being d
The invention claimed is: 1. An inductively powered device comprising: a power supply circuit having a primary, said power supply circuit applying power to said primary to generate a magnetic field; a secondary assembly having a secondary circuit with a secondary and a load, said secondary being disposed within said magnetic field, said secondary physically spaced from the primary by a distance, said magnetic field inducing a current in said secondary to apply power to said load at a magnitude; and a means for varying the distance between said primary and said secondary in order to control said magnitude of said power applied to said load. 2. The inductively powered device of claim 1 wherein said means for varying said distance between said primary and said secondary includes a secondary assembly support having a plurality of mounting locations each being a different distance from said primary, said secondary assembly being selectively mountable at a different one of said mounting locations. 3. The inductively powered device of claim 1 wherein said means for varying said distance between said primary and said secondary includes a flexible support disposed adjacent to said primary, said secondary assembly being mounted to said flexible support, said flexible support being bendable to vary said distance between said primary and said secondary. 4. The inductively powered device of claim 1 wherein said means for varying said distance between said primary and said secondary includes a support disposed adjacent to said primary and a counterbalance, said secondary assembly being mounted to said support, said support being movable to vary said distance between said primary and said secondary, said counterbalance offsetting the weight of said secondary assembly to retain said secondary assembly in a given position. 5. The inductively powered device of claim 1 wherein said primary is contained within a primary housing, said means for varying said distance between said primary and said secondary includes means for moving said primary within said primary housing. 6. The inductively powered device of claim 1 wherein said means for varying said distance between said primary and said secondary includes means for moving said secondary within said secondary assembly. 7. The inductively powered device of claim 1 wherein said inductively powered device includes a shaft supporting said primary, said means for varying said distance between said primary and said secondary includes means for moving said primary with respect to said shaft. 8. The inductively powered device of claim 1 wherein said means for varying said distance between said primary and said secondary includes a rack and a worm gear, said primary mounted to said rack, said worm gear being operable to cause linear movement of said rack. 9. The inductively powered device of claim 1 wherein said means for varying said respective position between said primary and said secondary includes means for varying an angular orientation between said primary and said secondary. 10. The inductively powered device of claim 9 wherein said primary and said secondary are disposed one within the other; and wherein at least one of said primary and said secondary is pivotally mounted to the device. 11. The inductively powered device of claim 9 further comprising: a shaft supporting said primary; an arm supporting said secondary, said arm being mounted for pivot movement with respect to said shaft. 12. The inductively powered device of claim 1 wherein said power supply circuit includes a means for monitoring a characteristic of said power indicative of said load and a means for varying a characteristic of said power based on said monitored characteristic, whereby said power supply circuit varies said power to optimize operation as a function of said one or more inductively powered devices. 13. The inductively powered device of claim 12 wherein said load is further defined as a light source. 14. The inductively powered device of claim 13 wherein said secondary circuit further includes a capacitor electrically connected in series between said secondary and said light source. 15. An inductively powered device comprising: a power supply circuit having a primary generating a magnetic field; a secondary, the secondary not physically in contact with the primary, the primary separated from the secondary by a distance, disposed with said magnetic field, whereby power is induced by said magnetic field in said secondary; a load electrically connected to said secondary, said load receiving said power from said secondary; and means for varying the distance between said primary and said secondary to vary said power applied to said load. 16. The inductively powered device of claim 15 wherein said means for varying said respective position between said primary and said secondary includes means for varying an angular orientation between said primary and said secondary.
