(EP827871-A1)      An apparatus (10) provides electrical power between a seat-mounted appliance (14) in a vehicle and a source of electrical energy in the vehicle without the use of electrical connectors. The vehicle seat (28) being mounted in a vehicle (26), a transformer (12) transmits electrical energy to the electrical appliance (14) and includes a first portion (18) mounted to the vehicle (26) and a second portion (20) mounted to the vehicle seat (28). The second portion (20) is electrically connected to the electrical appliance (14).    A drive circuit (32) for energizing the transformer (12) is electrically connected to the first portion (18) and has an oscillator. Preferably, the first portion (18) of the transformer (12) comprises a primary winding and the second portion (20) of the transformer (12) comprises a secondary winding.    USE -   For supplying electrical power to a seat installed in a vehicle, and more specifically for supplying power to electrical appliances, such as a seat adjustment mechanism, an electric seat belt retractor etc, installed in a vehicle seat.    ADVANTAGE -   Provides electrical power to the seat appliances without a plug-in connection    (JP10086723-A)      An apparatus (10) provides electrical power between a seat-mounted appliance (14) in a vehicle and a source of electrical energy in the vehicle without the use of electrical connectors.
