An evidence storage container is configured to be either removably or permanently attached to a law enforcement vehicle to secure seized items that may serve as evidence. The evidence storage container has a paper grasp structure for holding currency, driver's licenses, or other items of paper, as well as provisions to store a pen or pencil and drain holes to drain any moisture from precipitation.

Various embodiments of a mount apparatus are disclosed herein for securing an electronic device (such as a radar laser detector, GPS device, and/or dash camera or other electronic device used within a vehicle) to a surface such as an interior surface (e.g., windshield, dashboard) of a vehicle. In one example, the mount apparatus includes a magnet which is adapted to be coupled with a corresponding metal surface within the electronic device, so that the magnet positioned within the apparatus provides a magnetic force to aid a user in securing the mount apparatus and the electronic device to each other.

A charger for attachment to a mobile device. A housing with a device side surface contains a wireless charger including at least one coil. A first arrangement of magnetic material has a first region exposing a first polarity magnetic field at the device side surface and a second immediately adjacent region exposing an opposite polarity magnetic field at the device side surface. In use, the arrangement magnetically couples the housing to a mobile device and causes the housing to adopt a specific axial orientation on the mobile device thereby assuring substantial axial alignment of the at least one coil with a corresponding coil associated with the mobile device.

Attachment devices for securing phones and other electronic devices in a vehicle. One example can provide an attachment device that can include a stalk portion to attach to a surface or structure in a vehicle and an attachment portion, where the attachment portion includes an attachment face for mating with an electronic device. One or more attachment features can be located on the attachment face. An attachment device can further include power components for providing power to the electronic device.

Provided is a wireless charging system for a portable terminal, the system including: a terminal accessory which is fixed to the rear surface of a portable terminal and in which a transmission coil for generating a magnetic field for electromagnetic induction-type wireless charging is embedded; and a wireless charging device which is couplable to the terminal accessory by using magnetism, wherein: the terminal accessory and the wireless charging device include a first electric contact point and a second electric contact point, respectively, and thus, when the terminal accessory and the wireless charging device are coupled to each other, the first and second electric contact points come into contact with each other, so that power is supplied from the wireless charging device to the transmission coil embedded in the terminal accessory; and two or more magnets arranged in different polar directions from each other are provided at the wireless charging device.

A mount for mounting an accessory, the mount comprising: an attachment member to attach the mount to a support structure; and a mount coupling member configured to have a profile complementary to a corresponding accessory coupling member of an accessory to be coupled to the mount. The mount coupling member comprises a first material operative to couple to a second material of an accessory coupling member through an attractive force between the first material and second material; and wherein the attractive force is of a magnitude to permit slideable movement of the mount coupling member relative to an accessory coupling member while maintaining mechanical contact between the mount and an accessory. The first material comprises a complementary configuration with a second material of an accessory coupling member to permit a greater magnitude of the slideable movement in a first direction compared to a second direction transverse to the first direction.

A wallet for attachment to a mobile device. The wallet has a body defining a compartment and a device side surface. The wallet has a first arrangement of magnetic material with a first region exposing a first polarity magnetic field at the device side surface and a second adjacent region exposing an opposite polarity magnetic field at the device side surface. The wallet also has a second arrangement of magnetic material with a first region exposing a first polarity magnetic field at the device side surface and a second adjacent region exposing an opposite polarity magnetic field at the device side surface. Collectively, the first and second arrangements, in use, magnetically couple the accessory to a mobile device and cause the accessory to adopt a specific orientation on the mobile device.

A camera system for a vehicle comprises a holding device that can be fastened to the vehicle and that comprises a first communication interface for wireless communication. A camera that comprises an accumulator and a second communication interface for wireless communication. The camera is removably fastened to the holding device, and the second communication interface is designed to receive position data from the first communication interface by means of wireless near-field communication in order to determine a position of the holding device relative to the vehicle when the camera is fastened to the holding device.

A mount for mounting an accessory, the mount comprising: an attachment member to attach the mount to a support structure; and a mount coupling member configured to have a profile complementary to a corresponding accessory coupling member of an accessory to be coupled to the mount. The mount coupling member comprises a first material operative to couple to a second material of an accessory coupling member through an attractive force between the first material and second material; and wherein the attractive force is of a magnitude to permit slidable movement of the mount coupling member relative to an accessory coupling member while maintaining mechanical contact between the mount and an accessory. The first material comprises a complementary configuration with a second material of an accessory coupling member to permit a greater magnitude of the slidable movement in a first direction compared to a second direction transverse to the first direction.

A system for securing a user device to a body includes a magnet and an attraction plate. One of the magnet or the attraction plate is mechanically coupled to the body, and the other of the magnet or the attraction plate is mechanically coupled to the user device. The magnet is selectively activated to hold the attraction plate and, thereby, secure the user device to the body.
