A removable camera mounting system for a mobile industrial machine is disclosed. The removable camera mounting system includes a camera housing having a plurality of walls. A camera unit is mounted within the camera housing. A light unit is also mounted within the camera housing. An exterior of one of the plurality of walls of the camera housing includes one or more magnets.

A trim assembly includes a first trim portion spaced apart from an opposed second trim portion, a first surface on the first trim portion, a first magnet connected to the first trim portion so as to be hidden when the user views the first surface and a second surface on the first trim portion, a second magnet connected to the second trim portion so as to be hidden when the user views the second surface. When the working subassembly is configured to span between the first trim portion and the second trim portion, the working subassembly magnetically connectable through the first and second surfaces to the respective first and second magnets.

A magnetic supporting device can include a body having a generally triangular shape with a magnet or set of magnets positioned in each corner of the bottom surface of the body. Because of its shape and the positioning of the magnets, the bottom surface of the body can be placed on uneven surfaces while still retaining contact between each magnet and the surface. In this way, the supporting device can be coupled to the surface with sufficient strength to allow many different items such as guns, fishing rods, and bows to be supported against or even hung vertically from the device. The supporting device can include a support structure that extends from a top surface of the supporting device. The support structure can form a number of channels and slots within which items such as guns and fishing rods can be placed. The magnetic nature of the device can also secure it to the hood of a vehicle for use as a rest while shooting a gun, or support optical devices such as cameras, scopes, and other attachable items.

A fastening apparatus is configured to fasten an electronic device to other objects. The fastening apparatus includes a fastening base, a connection assembly pivotably connected to the fastening base, a first magnet, and an adhesive layer positioned on the fastening base configured to fix the fastening base to other objects. The connection assembly includes a connection portion and a second hinge positioned on the connection portion. The first magnet is positioned on a side of the connection portion to detachably grip the electronic device, and the second hinge is positioned on other side of the connection portion opposite to the first magnet. The second hinge is pivotably connected to the fastening base.

A closure device for fastening an object, for example an electronic instrument, to a carrier element includes a first closure part and a magnet device which acts in a magnetically attracting manner between the first closure part and the second closure part. At least one thread is arranged on one of the connection portions and at least one engagement element is arranged on the other of the connection portions. The connection portions are screw-connectable together by rotation with respect to one another as a result of the at least one engagement element running onto the at least one thread. The first closure part includes at least one first anti-rotation portion and the second closure part includes at least one second anti-rotation portion. The at least one first anti-rotation portion and the at least one second anti-rotation portion (33) are non-rotatably connected together when the connection portions are screw-connected, and at least one of the connection portions of one closure part is rotatable relative to the anti-rotation portion of the closure part.

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.

An apparatus for storing a binocular on the center console of a vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes: a base having a receptacle for receiving the binocular; and one or more mounting straps connected to the base for mounting the base to the center console of the vehicle. The apparatus provides an alternative, accessible and secure storage medium for binoculars in a vehicle.

An accessory system for a vehicle includes a housing having a base attached to the vehicle and a projection extending from the base, the projection being fluidly coupled to a duct of the vehicle. The accessory system also includes a first vehicle accessory having a cavity configured to selectively receive the projection of the housing to selectively attach the first vehicle accessory to the housing in an engaged state.

A vehicle includes a mounting assembly for selectively connecting a device to the vehicle. The mounting assembly includes at least one cowling, a magnet, a support surface and a ferromagnetic plate. The support surface defines a receiving recess that is in alignment with the magnet along a normal of the support surface. The ferromagnetic plate is configured to connect to the device, is sized and shaped to be received in the receiving recess, and is selectively magnetically connected to the magnet. When the ferromagnetic plate is connected to the device and received in the receiving recess, the ferromagnetic plate is magnetically connected to the magnet. In response to a force causing the ferromagnetic plate to disconnect from the magnet, a bottom edge of the device contacts the support surface at a contact point below the receiving recess, and pivots about a pivot axis passing through the contact point.
