A vehicle glasses receptacle arrangement which provides an advanced approach for storage of polarized glasses. Conventional cars have a problem that the glasses are damaged because they are stored together with other things in the dashboard box or console box. The present invention solves this by providing simple configuration of two parts which can be attached to glasses and vehicle's air vent and both parts are either magnetic or metallic in nature.

An apparatus for supporting a media playback device on a structure of a vehicle comprising a grille, the apparatus comprising an elongate base body having a front side configured to connect the apparatus to the media playback device and a rear side, and first and second connection members, each comprising a respective connection portion protruding away from the rear side of the base body and comprising at least one slot configured to receive a bar of a grille, wherein the first and second connection members are translatably arranged such that the distance between the first and second connection members may be varied.

A vehicle-mounted electronic apparatus includes a holder, a casing, and a remote control. The casing is connected to the holder and the casing includes a back surface, a side surface, a containing groove, and at least one magnet. The containing groove is formed on the back surface and adjacent to the side surface for containing the remote control. The at least one magnet is disposed in the casing and exposed from at least one through hole. At least one magnetic element is disposed on a side wall of the remote control and magnetically attracted by the at least one magnet. Accordingly, the containing groove is used to conveniently contain the remote control with less occupied space. The at least one magnet provides the magnetic force to attract the at least one magnetic element of the remote control to prevent disengagement caused by vibration or shake on the moving vehicle.

A mount for an electronic device includes a ferromagnetic element securable to the electronic device, and a mount body including a face plate and at least one leg, the magnet secured in the face plate, and the at least one leg movable from a stored position to a support position. The stored position is flush with the face plate, and the support position is normal to the face plate. The magnet and ferromagnetic element combine with the leg in it support position to allow reliable mounting of heavy and/or oversized electronic devices.

A vehicle agnostic removable pod can be mounted on a vehicle using one or more legs of a pod mount. The removable pod can collect and time stamp a variety of environmental data as well as vehicle data. For example, environmental data can be collected using a sensor suite which can include an IMU, 3D positioning sensor, one or more cameras, and/or a LIDAR unit. As another example, vehicle data can be collected via a CAN bus attached to the vehicle. Environmental data and/or vehicle data can be time stamped and transmitted to a remote server for further processing by a computing device.

A pick-up truck bed having controllably magnetized areas for retaining cargo or attachment devices. A first permanent magnet may be attached below the lower surface of the truck bed with a second permanent being rotatable relative to the first permanent magnet to control the magnetic flux provided to retain objects in the truck bed. Alternatively, one or more electromagnets may be provided that may be turned on to retain objects in the truck bed and turned off to allow removal of objects.

A holding unit including an upper support unit, a lower support unit, a first arm that engages first openings in the upper support unit and lower support unit, a second arm that engages second openings in the upper support unit and lower support unit, and at least two locking openings in the upper support that engages a projection on each first arm and each second arm.

A magnetic vehicle bracket includes a fixed part and an adsorption part; wherein the adsorption part is provided with an magnetic member; an elastic member and a limit part are arranged between the adsorption part and the fixed part, the adsorption part is capable of sliding relative to the fixed part; the limit part is configured to limit a relative position of the adsorption part and the fixed part after sliding; the adsorption part and the fixed part are restored to an initial position by elastic force of the elastic member after sliding.

A mount for a mobile device on an internal display screen of an automobile. A housing defines a volume and has a device side attachment surface and a back surface. The housing also has an attachment extension to couple to the internal display such that the device side attachment surface has a permanently fixed orientation relative to the attachment extension. The housing contains a wireless charger and a first arrangement of magnetic material. The magnetic material exposes a pattern of magnetic fields at the device side attachment surface. The attachment extension has a display screen coupling surface with an arcuate contour that substantially mates with a contour of the internal display screen.

Described herein is a mounting apparatus, comprising a magnetic component, and a mount; wherein the magnetic component comprises one or more permanent magnet; wherein the mounting apparatus is configured to attach to a surface through a magnetic interaction between the magnetic component and a material that is ferromagnetic or ferromagnetic in the surface; wherein the mount comprises a plurality of clips which are configured to be mounted on an air vent in a vehicle. The mounting apparatus provides mounting of any appropriately sized electronic device in a vehicle, to allow convenient viewing and access to the device. The presently disclosed mounting apparatus also realizes a continuous rotation and continuous movement of the portable electronic device while it is held by the mounting apparatus, therefore facilitating user control of the device.
