HANDS-FREE MOUNT FOR MOBILE DEVICES
A hands-free mount for a mobile device. An example hands-free mount includes a first magnetic attachment for combining with the mobile device, and a second mating magnetic attachment for combining with the first magnetic attachment. In an example, the hands-free mount includes a housing for the second mating magnetic attachment. A strap may be fitted through the opening in the housing to secure the housing to an object for attaching the mobile device to the object via magnetic connection of the first magnetic attachment on the mobile device to the second mating magnetic attachment of the housing. An example hands-free mount may also include a kickstand on the housing. The kickstand in the open position supports the mobile device in a substantially upright position. The kickstand folds into the closed position for carrying the mobile device.
Lawnmower tool receiver apparatus and methods
The present disclosure provides for a tool receiver apparatus for a lawnmower. The apparatus may include a base, a post, an arm, and a sleeve. The base may include a magnet configured for magnetic engagement with a surface of the lawnmower. The post may be disposed on the base and extend upwardly from the base. The arm may extend laterally from the post. The sleeve may be disposed on the arm. The sleeve may include an upper end forming an upper opening, a lower end forming a lower opening, and a passage extending between the upper opening and the lower opening. The sleeve may be configured to receive a tool with a jaw assembly.
Magnetic purse system
A magnetic purse system includes a vehicle that has a gas tank. The gas tank is comprised of a magnetic material. A purse is provided to contain objects. The purse includes a pair of wings and the purse has an electromagnetic shield. The purse is selectively positioned on the gas tank when the vehicle is ridden. A plurality of magnets is provided and each of the magnets is coupled to the purse and each of the wings. Each of the magnets magnetically engages the gas tank when the purse is positioned on the gas tank. In this way the purse is stored when the vehicle is driven.
HOLDER SYSTEM FOR AN ELECTRONIC APPARATUS
A holder system for an electronic apparatus (46), having a holding piece (20), provided for fastening in a locationally fixed manner, and a mounting (40) that is connectable to the holding piece (20) and to which the electronic apparatus (46) is releasably fastenable is characterized in that the holding piece (20) on a fastening plate (29), and the mounting (40) on a rear wall (41), have fastening elements (52), (53) which by means of a rotating movement of less than 180 are conjointly movable from an initial position to a latching position, and in that magnets (50), (51) or ferromagnetic pieces are inserted into the fastening plate (29), on the one hand, and into the rear wall (41), on the other hand, such that an increasing magnetic pull is present from a placing position to the latching position.
MULTI-POSITIONAL DASHBOARD MOUNTING APPARATUS
A multi-positional dashboard mounting apparatus for magnetically mounting an electronic device to in a multitude of positions or locations on a dashboard of a vehicle. The apparatus utilizes a pair of magnetic plates at the termini to enable detachable attachment to a metal region of the dashboard and a metal region of the electronic device. A first magnetic plate magnetically engages a metal region of the dashboard. A second magnetic plate magnetically engages a metal region of the electronic device. The apparatus utilizes a unique ball joint mechanism that enables pivotal articulation of the electronic device in multiple directions, up to 180, and from both ends of apparatus. Because both the first and second ball socket joints pivotally articulate up to 360, the portable electronic device that is attached to the second magnetic panel pivotally articulates up to 360 relative to the first magnetic panel fixedly attached to the dashboard.
ELECTRONIC PRODUCT HOLDER AND RETAINING PORTION INTEGRATED STRUCTURE
An electronic product holder and retaining portion integrated structure includes a metal flexible member having a retaining portion and a holder integrally extending outward from the retaining portion. An adapter is connected to one end of the holder opposite the retaining portion. A retaining device attachable to a surface of an object is provided on one side of the retaining portion. The production costs and assembly labor hours of parts and materials required for such products are reduced, while reducing the failure rate of products in use.
Magnetic Device Holder
A magnetic device holder is an Apple iphone holder or other device holder for the cart. The magnetic device holder leverages strong (N52) magnets that adhere to the metal canopy pole and another set of magnets that leverage the MagSafe technology built into certain iPhones (iPhone 12 or newer).
CLIP FOR HOLDING ARTICLES AND STRUCTURAL ASSEMBLY EQUIPPED WITH CLIP
A clip for holding articles includes a main body having a first body portion and a second body portion mounted to undergo pivotal movement relative to the first body portion for selectively positioning the clip between an open state and a closed state. The first state of the clip is configured to allow an article to be positioned between the first and second body portions, and the closed state of the article is configured to securely hold the article between the first and second body portions. A biasing member is mounted between the first and second body portions for biasing the clip to the closed state. The clip is configured for placement in the open state by pivotal movement of the first body portion relative to the second body portion against the biasing force of the biasing member.
Car top hat device
A removable hat device for a motor vehicle roof is disclosed, having a base housing, a tubular guide, a hat cover body, a hat base, a central cylindrical support column, and an elongated bolt. The base housing includes plurality of rubber coated magnetic feet adapted to removably magnetically adhere to the roof of the motor vehicle. The base housing further includes an upstanding cylindrical sleeve. The tubular guide is fixed to the base housing. The hat cover body is attached to the base housing via a circular ring shaped platform having a plurality of spokes extruding from the central cylindrical support column. The central cylindrical support column is telescopically received in the upstanding hollow cylindrical sleeve of the base housing. The elongated bolt removably extends through the tubular guide, the hat cover body, the upstanding cylindrical sleeve, and locks at the central cylindrical support column.
Integrated Keychain Assemblies for In-Vehicle Stowage of Vehicular Keys and Key Fobs While Operating Vehicles
Integrated keychain assemblies that each include a keychain fob and a keychain holder for removably receiving and holding the keychain fob. In some embodiments the keychain holder is configured to hold a single instantiation of the keychain fob at a time and is useful, for example, for allowing a driver of a vehicle to conveniently stow a vehicle key fob while operating the vehicle. In some embodiments, the keychain fob includes a body having a mechanical-interlock structure and the keychain holder includes a receiver-base having a mechanical-interlock structure that provides a conformal mechanical interlocking fit that holds the keychain fob against gravity when the integrated assembly is in use. The body and the receiver-base include complementary magnetic-attraction elements that attract one another to hold the keychain fob in the conformal mechanical interlocking fit.
