Disclosed is a magnetic housing assembly which may have a housing body, a first capping structure; a second capping structure; a water-tight chamber defined by the first capping structure and the second capping structure; a ratcheting face; a magnet enclosed within the water-tight chamber; at least one ridge on the perimeter of the housing body, where the magnet can flip to reverse polarity within the water-tight chamber, where the ratcheting face is configured to allow adjustment of the assembly when connected with another structure also having a ratcheting face. Also disclosed is a system including a structure configured to house the plurality of magnetic housing assemblies while exposing a surface of the magnetic housing assemblies.

A utensil holder is described. The holder includes a base portion and a sidewall portion coupled to a periphery of and extending outward from the base portion. The sidewall portion and the base portion define a utensil receiving portion. An opening of the base portion receives a first magnetic component therein. At least one securement mechanism engaged to the sidewall portion secures the utensil in the utensil receiving portion. A material is affixed at one end to a location on the sidewall portion and is affixed at another end to a second magnetic component. The first and second magnetic component are of opposing polarities such that when the second magnetic component is placed beneath a surface the holder is resting on, the first magnetic component is configured in a magnetic attraction with the second magnetic component to maintain a location of the holder on the surface.

The present invention discloses a mobile device positioning structure including, a central magnetic portion on a mounting surface of a fixture for magnetically positioning the back of a mobile device and a ring-shaped magnetic portion formed by two curved clamp arms which are bilaterally symmetrical to each other, and separated and unfolded from each other. After the two curved clamp arms are unfolded relative to the mounting surface, the back of the mobile device is magnetically positioned by the central magnetic portion, and both sides of the mobile device are elastically abutted, clamped and positioned by the two curved clamp arms.

A magnetic conductive coverplate of leakage type that may used in magnetic holding devices covers a holding surface of the magnetic holding device. The leakage type magnetic conductive coverplate is made integrally of a single magnetic conductive material. The leakage type magnetic conductive coverplate can conduct magnetic force of the holding device into a workpiece so as to hold it. Because the leakage type magnetic conductive coverplate is made integrally of a single magnetic conductive material, when there is any change in ambient temperature, no crevice will be produced due to different coefficients of expansion and contraction. Therefore, any coolant used in workpiece machining and any magnetic conductive impurities will not infiltrate into or enter the magnetic holding device to lose the internal insulation, thus effectively protecting the internal structure of the magnetic holding device and remarkably improving durability and service life of the magnetic holding device.

A wireless power system has electronic devices that mate with each other to transfer wireless power. Each device may have a wireless power coil. Alignment magnets may be used to magnetically attach devices to each other so that the coils in the devices are aligned with respect to each other for wireless power transfer. The system may include first, second, and third devices. The first and third devices may have fixed alignment magnets with poles of opposite magnetic polarity that allow the first and third devices to be attached to each other so that their coils are aligned. The second device may have a reconfigurable alignment magnet that is operable in a first mode in which the second device is magnetically attached to the first device and a second mode in which the second device is magnetically attached to the third device.

The present disclosure relates to a mounting jig for manufacturing a tiling display device and a manufacturing method of a tiling display device using the same. A mounting jig for manufacturing a tiling display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a supporting member; a plurality of jig magnets fixed to the supporting member; a hinge structure configured to rotate the plurality of jig magnets; and a guard rail rotating in response to rotation of the plurality of jig magnets and reducing damage caused during detachment or attachment. Therefore, when the mounting jig is attached to a display device, a safety distance can be secured by the guard rail disposed between the display device and the jig magnets and the mounting jig can be slowly attached to the display device without giving an impact to the display device.

A positioning apparatus includes: an upper unit that includes a spherical body, a retainer part that retains the spherical body, and an upper plate part provided on the retainer part and adapted to carry a carried object; a lower unit that includes a lower plate part on which the upper unit is mounted and a guide part that marks a region of movement of the upper unit on the lower plate part; and a tilting structure that tilts the region of movement relative to a horizontal plane and guides the upper unit, on which the carried object is not mounted, toward a reference position located on a lower side of a tilt.

A system for mounting an electronic device includes a socket and a stand, the stand having a ball portion. The socket and the ball portion include first magnetic material to hold the socket and the ball portion together in a position selected by a user, the socket further including a magnetic array, the magnetic array having magnetism to hold an electronic device to the socket. In one alternative, the first magnetic material is separate from the magnetic array.

A portable retainer for securing personal electronic devices on the backs of seats is provided. The portable retainer provides a core having communicating wire holes adjacent each end of thereof, through which an elastic wire protrudes for either hanging from a seatback in an upright hanging position or being supported in a pocket of the seatback in an inverted propped up position. The portable retainer provides front and rear endplates that are peripherally broader than the core for facilitating winding the elastic wire about the core in a stored position. The endplates may provide a slot for magnets, to which anchor plates can removably attach to a desired electronic device in either the hanging or the propped-up positions for viewing the anchored electronic device from selective angles and height, due in part to the rigidly malleable elastic wire.
