A retaining assembly to attach one or more mobile devices to a mobile object. The retaining assembly may include a mounting plate that attaches to the mobile object by way of a mounting bracket or scorecard clip-on. The mounting bracket provides dovetails for selecting engaging the mounting plate in different orientations. The mounting plate facilitates various magnetized components to removably attach to the mobile device. If the mobile device has a third-party extensible grip, a retaining ring may be employed to attach the mobile device or the extensible grip modified to one of the various magnetized components.

The present disclosure provides a foot-deck device and a vehicle. The foot-deck device includes: a bracket; two deck assemblies oppositely disposed on the bracket, the two deck assemblies each including a deck and a rotating shaft, the rotating shafts being pivotally disposed on the bracket, and the decks being disposed on the rotating shafts; and a linkage mechanism, the rotating shaft of one deck assembly being coupled to the rotating shaft of the other deck assembly through the linkage mechanism, the linkage mechanism being used to cause the rotating shafts of the two deck assemblies to rotate synchronously and cause the decks of the two deck assemblies to rotate synchronously to respective folded positions or unfolded positions.

This disclosure discloses various brackets with various mounting interfaces for engaging (e.g., mechanically) with various surfaces that are correspondingly configured. For example, one of such brackets can clamp onto a bar (e.g., a handlebar of a vehicle) and then an electronic device (e.g., a smartphone, a tablet, a dedicated navigational unit) can removably secure (e.g., mate) to that bracket. This form of removable securing can be via that bracket having a latch configured to engage a detent of the electronic device (or vice versa) in order to linearly mount the electronic device onto the bracket (or vice versa) and disengage the detent in order rotationally unmount the electronic device from the bracket (or vice versa).

The present invention is directed toward an accessory mounting system. The accessory mounting system can be used to mount an accessory to a vehicle. The accessory mounting system includes a base assembly and an accessory assembly. The base assembly can be fixedly positionable on the vehicle about a first axis, the base assembly including a first locking member and a base assembly second member. The accessory assembly can be removably securable to the base assembly. The accessory assembly can include a second locking member that selectively engages the first locking member. The accessory assembly can be rotatable about the first axis relative to the base member. The accessory mounting system can further include a charger that receives the accessory assembly. The charger can include a charge receiver engager that electrically engages the charge receiver, and electrically disengages from the charge receiver.
