Examples are disclosed relating to computing device hinge assemblies. In one example, a hinge assembly comprises a hinge frame affixed to one substrate and a hinge arm member affixed to another substrate. The hinge arm member comprises first and second arcuate arm guide slots. An arm support member, moveably coupling the hinge arm member to the hinge frame, comprises a first side comprising a first arcuate support guide slot receiving a first frame guide of the hinge frame, and a second side comprising a second arcuate support guide slot receiving a second frame guide. First and second arcuate inner support guides are received within the first and second arcuate arm guide slots of the hinge arm member. An elongated bridge member connects the first side of the arm support member to the second side, with the bridge member comprising a unitary structure fabricated from bulk metallic glass.

An operation device includes a movable member that is movable within a predetermined range, and a restriction member that is disposed in a state of being movable in a movable direction of the movable member, that restricts the movable range of the movable member by coming into contact with a contact surface of the movable member in the movable direction, and that can be switched between a state of being in contact with a first range of the contact surface and restricting the movable range of the movable member and a state of being in contact with a second range, the second range being different from the first range, of the contact surface and restricting the movable range of the movable member.

Embodiments relate to a cellphone self-standing device that allows any cellphone to stand in position and angles that are more suited for selfie and two way video communication. The device of this invention integrates with the cellphone such that it can be carried around easily, the same way that cellphones are; store with the cellphone in where cellphones are normally stored; and operate on demand with minimal set up, to facilitate ease of use.

A mobile device mounting system includes a device case and a mount. The device case includes: an insert including a rectangular bore and defining a set of undercut sections about the rectangular bore; and a first set of magnetic elements arranged in a first pattern about the rectangular bore. The mount includes: a body; a polygonal boss extending from the body and configured to insert into the rectangular bore; a set of locking jaws arranged on the polygonal boss configured to transiently mate with the set of undercut sections to constrain the polygonal boss within the rectangular bore; and a second set of magnetic elements arranged in a second pattern about the polygonal boss and configured to transiently couple to the first set of magnetic elements to transiently retain the mount against the device case and to drive the set of locking jaws toward the set of undercut sections.

In an example implementation, a mobile communication device assembly includes a housing having an opening configured and sized to support a display screen of a mobile communication device. A controller is mounted in the housing and configured to communicably couple to the mobile communication device. An angular adjustment assembly is mounted in the housing and including a first motor electrically coupled to the controller; a first gear assembly driveably coupled to the first motor; and a support member coupled to the first gear assembly and extendable, with the first gear assembly, from a first position flush with the housing to a second position angularly extended from the housing.

A mobile device mounting system includes a device case and a mount. The device case includes: an insert including a rectangular bore and defining a set of undercut sections about the rectangular bore; and a first set of magnetic elements arranged in a first pattern about the rectangular bore. The mount includes: a body; a polygonal boss extending from the body and configured to insert into the rectangular bore; a set of locking jaws arranged on the polygonal boss configured to transiently mate with the set of undercut sections to constrain the polygonal boss within the rectangular bore; and a second set of magnetic elements arranged in a second pattern about the polygonal boss and configured to transiently couple to the first set of magnetic elements to transiently retain the mount against the device case and to drive the set of locking jaws toward the set of undercut sections.

An attachment device for a personal electronic device is provided in a pair of cooperating plates with a first plate, hereinafter referred to as an outer plate, of the pair of cooperating plates being affixed to the personal electronic device and a second plate, hereinafter referred to as an inner plate, of the pair of cooperating plates configured for removable adhering to the outer plate via a magnetic coupling. Accordingly, the outer plate and the inner plate are sided to enable the cooperative features of the device.

A mobile device case apparatus and method are provided that include a frame, a stand, at least one magnet, and rubber coating over the at least one magnet. The frame and stand can be 3D-printed. The frame is configured to secure a mobile device into the frame. The frame includes at least one magnet. The bottom of the stand can have a rubber coating to prevent the case from slipping when the case adheres to a metal. The stand is configured to support the weight of the apparatus and prop the mobile device up for viewing. The stand can also be configured to be a receive a mechanical element of a vehicle such as a wheelchair.

The embodiments disclose an apparatus including a television monitor mount with a foldout portion and a predefined main body, a constant torque hinge on a plate having at least one handle configured to be affixed to a structure that can hold other plates and either contains or holds at least one device, VESA mounting holes or equivalent hole configurations with lockable positions using a locking mechanism, and wherein the foldout portion of the mount along with the main body is configured to mount to other mounts or similar devices.
