A container magnetic mount for a device has a container lid defined by a rim cylindrical wall, a top, and a lid joint element. A device mount head includes a device mount head joint element in rotating engagement with the container lid. The lid joint element and the device mount head joint element define a dynamic coupling, with the device mount head being orientable between a raised reverse position and a lowered forward position. The device mount head incorporates a joint arm and the device mount head joint element, and an angularly offset head body with one or more magnets attractive of a ferromagnetic element on the device.

A mouth closure mask includes a flexible sheet having an adhesive on a back facing surface thereof, the adhesive provided for adhering the mask to the face of a wearer. A port is defined through a portion of the sheet. The port allows access between in the inside and outside of a wearer's mouth when the port is uncovered. A retaining flange is disposed on the flexible sheet adjected to the port. A seal is configured to selectively engage the retaining flange to restrict access to the port when the seal and retaining flange are engaged.

A firearm storage system is provided. It can include an enclosure device adapted for having a firearm mounting device mounted to a support member, such as a generally vertically disposed panel or wall. The mounting device includes a notch forming member forming a series of notches and loops in an alternating pattern, such that a long firearm can be stored next to a short firearm, utilizing space between adjacent long firearms for the storage of the short firearm. The barrels of the firearms are generally vertically disposed during storage and can be angled to apply a force on the firearms, and, in particular, on the long firearm to help retain the firearms in their respective portions of the mounting device.

A stand (100) is disclosed. The stand (100) may include a first connecting component and a second connecting component. The first connecting component may include at least one fixing element and a chamber. The chamber may have an opening. The second connecting component may include an insertion portion including at least one fixing element and a chamber. The chamber may have an opening. When the insertion portion of the second connecting component is inserted, along an axis in an insertion direction, into the chamber through the opening, the fixing element in the first connecting component may work in pairs with the insertion portion to cause the first connecting component to be connected with the second connecting component.

The present invention provides a lamination method for a special-shaped glass cover plate, including following steps. Step S1: forming a magnetic layer on a display panel. Step S2: arranging a first solenoid and a second solenoid at a regular-shaped portion and a special-shaped portion of the special-shaped glass cover plate, respectively. Step S3: supplying opposite electric currents to the first solenoid and the second solenoid. Step S4: changing magnitude of an electric current from the regular-shaped portion to the special-shaped portion. Step S5: when to attach the display panel to the special-shaped portion of the special-shaped glass cover plate, changing magnitude of the electric current of the second solenoid and a direction of the second solenoid to attach the display panel along the special-shaped portion.

A pivoting fastener assembly for securely fastening a panel in spaced relation to a support backing, and a method of manufacturing the same. The fastener assembly includes: a magnet-carrier assembly that includes a magnet that is fixed to a carrier member; and a base member that includes a base portion and a pivoting portion. The pivoting portion includes a head, a trunk, and an extension portion that is connected to the base portion. The extension portion includes a top side that connects a first peripheral surface to a second peripheral surface of the extension portion. A first end of the trunk is connected to the top side of the extension portion and a second end of the trunk is connected to the head. The base member is a unitary piece, and the head of the pivoting portion engages and retains the carrier member of the magnet-carrier assembly.

A paving machine includes an implement, an elongated structure, a sensor arrangement, and one or more breakaway couplers. The implement modifies a surface during a movement of the paving machine. The elongated structure is coupled to a side portion of the paving machine and extends along a direction of the movement. The sensor arrangement includes sensor units arranged sequentially along the elongated structure. The breakaway couplers correspondingly normally retain the sensor units to the elongated structure. Each breakaway coupler includes a mounting structure and a retainer unit. The mounting structure is secured to one of the elongated structure or a corresponding sensor unit, while the retainer unit retains the other of the elongated structure or the corresponding sensor unit to the mounting structure by a retention force, which is adjustable.

A radiation shielding device comprising of radiation shielding material and a switchable magnet device that is at least partially disposed within the radiation shielding material. The switchable magnet device may include a plurality of permanent magnets and an actuator that adjusts an orientation of at least one of the polarities of permanent magnets to switch the switchable magnet device between an on configuration in which the switchable magnet device produces a net attractive force and an off configuration in which the switchable magnet device produces substantially reduced magnetic force.

A tablet stand is disclosed which incorporates a near field antenna configuration which couples to a near field antenna in the back of a tablet and provides a near field antenna coupling region for near field communication at the front of the tablet. The stand may be completely passive and use conductive antenna elements and passive resonance matching circuit elements to provide efficient coupling. In another aspect a thin profile passive keyboard adapted for use with a near field enabled tablet is provided. In another aspect a mounting bracket or holder, embedded antenna, and passive keyboard combination is provided adapted for converting a tablet into a notebook type configuration.
