Abstract

A retail display device for use with a plurality of inductively charged electronic devices includes a cable assembly having a length defined by a first and second end including at least one electrical conductor. A mounting member is adapted to receive the first end of the cable assembly. The mounting member is also adapted to be affixed to the plurality of inductively charged electronic devices. A primary coil for electromagnetic field coupling is disposed within the mounting member and in electrical communication with the at least one conductor of the cable assembly. The primary coil forms an electromagnetic field coupling with a secondary coil within the inductively charged electronic device so as to inductively convey energy for charging a rechargeable battery. In an alternate embodiment, the primary coil is disposed in a base member.
