A camera system for a vehicle comprises a holding device that can be fastened removably to the outside of the vehicle and that comprises an accumulator, a camera that can be fastened removably to the holding device, wherein electrical energy can be transferred to the camera from the accumulator to operate the camera.

According to some embodiments, an assembly configured to be removably secured to an exposed structural component of a vehicle (e.g., a rollbar) comprises a cover assembly configured to secure to the exposed structural component of the vehicle, a hand grip configured to pass through at least a portion of the cover assembly and hand below the cover assembly, wherein the hand grip is configured to be grasped by a user, and at least one tool-receiving member configured to secure to the cover assembly.

An adjustable window shade having a magnetic attachment point for mounting on a window and a shade portion with a magnet, the shade portion being detachably engageable with the magnetic attachment point via the magnet. Methods of installing and using the window shade are disclosed.

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.

A magnetic mounting system is provided. The system includes a device having a magnetic attachment feature and a magnetic device mount. The magnetic device mount has a mating magnetic attachment feature. The magnetic attachment feature and mating magnetic attachment feature allow specific angular, radial, and/or longitudinal alignment of the device relative to the mount without a mechanical interface. An electronic device holder and charging system with integrated charging and data transfer interface and a self-aligning, magnetic coupling and docking interface with on-demand decoupling feature are also disclosed.

A connecting apparatus removably engages first and second articles to one another, the apparatus including a beam with a first protrusion ridge being attached to the first article, a housing with a first aperture with a slidable channel having a second protrusion ridge disposed within the housing, the first and second ridges removably engage, the housing is attached to the second article, resulting in the first and second articles being removably engaged to one another. Operationally, the beam is pushed into the housing first aperture until the first ridge contacts and deflects the second ridge with continued pushing the second ridge returns to an un-deflected state with the first and second ridges interlocked to one another, the channel is selectively slid away from the beam to disengage the first and second protrusion ridges from one another to separate the channel and the beam, thus separating the first and second articles.

A tablet device with a flexible cover is disclosed. Thin flexible display technology can be integrated into the flexible cover without affecting the overall form factor of the cover or tablet device. Adding the integrated display to the flexible cover greatly enhances the overall functionality of the tablet device.

A device for attaching items to walls, ceilings etc. comprises a plurality of cells wherein each cell comprises a contact fixing and a coupling, and wherein each is attached to its neighbour by a means, such as a hinge or flexible joint, allowing articulation therebetween. The device further has a means for locking the articulation between adjacent cells. The contact fixing advantageously comprises one or more magnets, allowing the device to attach to suitable metals such as the side of a vehicle. The device allows a strong fixing to be obtained, from the combined fixing action of multiple cells, whilst allowing removal a single cell at a time. The invention further extends to an associated articlewhich may act as the means for locking the articulationfor attaching to the device, such as a shelf, rack or other item. The article may have attachment points arranged to couple to multiple cells, and, when attached, to maintain the cells in a fixed positional relationship to each other.

A crash-ready, portable, item compartmentalization device may include a shell which includes a first half shell and a second half shell. The first half shell and the second half shell may have substantially similar dimensions and define an interior space and an exterior space. One or more pouches may be removably coupled to the shell in the interior space. The crash-ready, portable, item compartmentalization device may be relocated throughout the interior of an emergency vehicle when used with an equipment mounting system or taken to the field for use away from the emergency vehicle. The individual pouches may also be removed and replaced with stocked pouches to replenish the crash-ready, portable, item compartmentalization device.

A holding device for a vehicle includes at least one base plate configured to support an object, and a cavity formed in a body of the holding device. The holding device is configured to receive the base plate and to at least partially receive the object being supported by the base plate. The holding device is configured to alter a position of the base plate within the cavity depending on the object.
