Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a console box that realizes power feeding to a power receiving device (that allows a power receiving device to receive power). A console box 1 of the present invention includes: a box body 2 having a bottom portion 20 , and a tubular wall portion 21 standing from a surface of the bottom portion 20 ; and a coil 3 provided at the box body 2 , implemented by a conductive wire 30 wound along a peripheral direction of the wall portion 21 , and forming an electromagnetic resonance field when being energized according to a predetermined condition. In the console box 1 of the present invention, power feeding of a resonance type is performed, and thus, wireless power feeding is realized in a console box where, in the case of a conventional electromagnetic-induction-type wireless power feeding, a power feeding device is difficult to be installed.
