A self-propelled device includes a spherical housing and an internal drive system. The self-propelled device can further include an internal structure having a magnet holder that holds a first set of magnets and an external accessory comprising a second set of magnets to magnetically interact, through the spherical housing, with the first set magnets

Disclosed is a coupling system for coupling an accessory to a mount. Included is a mount comprising a mount end for mounting on a mounting surface and a coupling end comprising a first coupling arrangement, and an accessory coupleable to mount. The accessory comprising a second coupling arrangement disposed on a surface. The first and second coupling arrangement comprising coupling elements configured to guide accessory into a coupling orientation relative to mount, to maintain coupling orientation through a coupling/decoupling operation and to couple accessory to mount in a coupled configuration. First set of coupling elements comprise formations disposed on one of first and second coupling arrangements and complementary formations disposed on the other of first and second coupling arrangements. The formations receivable by and abuttable with complementary formations in a non-retaining arrangement to maintain coupling orientation through coupling/decoupling operation and to inhibit rotational movement of mount relative to accessory.

An automobile visor organizer is taught which includes an area for storing a mobile device, an identification card, and a document. The mobile device storage area includes means for removably affixing a mobile device thereto. The invention includes a hook for removably holding an identification card, and a document aperture for storing a document therein. The invention includes a document guide on its backside for supporting the inserted document. The invention also includes a wireless charging pad with the mobile device storage area.

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 system for securing a user device in a vehicle includes a magnet and an attraction plate. One of the magnet or the attraction plate is mechanically coupled to the vehicle, 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 vehicle.

A mounting device includes a clamp base with a jaw coupling platform with a first pivot bearing and a second pivot bearing. The clamp base defines a mounting platform, an arcuate jaw, and a clevis with a pair of clevis prongs each with a bushing hole. A clamp brace defines a clevis tang engagement slot and an arcuate jaw, and includes an extension arm with a pivot pin engageable with either the first pivot bearing or the second pivot bearing. A clevis pin has a central cross bore, and is received within the bushing holes of the pair of clevis prongs. A clevis tang bolt is engageable with the clevis pin, and is received within the clevis pin engagement slot. A pair of arcuate inserts are each engaged to a respective one of the arcuate jaws of the clamp base and the clamp brace.

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.

An entertainment bracket for a seat of a motor vehicle includes a mount disposed on the seat, the mount having a headrest bracket and a screen support. The headrest bracket extends from a substantially planar headrest attachment portion rearwards to the screen support, the screen support connected at an angle to the headrest attachment portion and including a first portion of a swivel ball joint. A human machine interface (HMI) bracket supports an HMI and includes a second portion of the swivel ball joint connected to the first portion of the swivel ball joint, the first portion and the second portion of the swivel ball joint allowing the HMI bracket to articulate through a range of motion relative to the headrest bracket. A covering component is disposed overtop the headrest attachment portion and forms a substantially smooth, continuous exterior surface of the entertainment bracket.

A mobile device accessory system including a first accessory device having a first front side and a first back side. The first accessory device has a first plurality of alternating polarity magnets on the first front side and a second plurality of alternating polarity magnets on the first back side. A second accessory device having a second front side and a second back side, the second accessory device having a third plurality of alternating polarity magnets on the second front side and a fourth plurality of alternating polarity magnets on the second back side. The first accessory device is arranged to magnetically couple to a device-side attachment associated with a mobile device and is interposed between the device-side attachment and the second accessory device.
