The present invention provides a core member and a core assembly that realize a compact and lightweight charging port and a compact and lightweight induction-type charging apparatus. A first side end of a bottom plate portion includes inclined side ends receding from the first side end toward a point between a first side end and a second side end and halfway between a third side end and a fourth side end. A middle leg portion extends from a top surface of the bottom plate portion offset toward side ends opposite the first side ends, relative to a center of the bottom plate portion. Two outer leg portions extend from the top surface of the bottom plate portion along side ends other than the first and second side ends, and have top surfaces which are higher than a top surface of the middle leg portion.
