A seatback phone mount apparatus for securing a phone to a seatback includes a main base. A pair of expandable supports is coupled to a base left side and a base right side of the main base. Each expandable support slidably moves between a compressed position and an extended position. A pair of seat clips is coupled to the pair of expandable supports. Each seat clip is coupled to a distal end of each expandable support. The pair of seat clips selectively engages a pair of seat sides of a seatback. A neck is coupled to a base front side of the main base. A phone plate is coupled to the neck. A magnet is coupled within the phone plate to secure a cellphone to the phone plate.

The invention relates to an apparatus with magnets of a unique configuration to secure devices to non-ferromagnetic material, such as the windshield of a car. The invention permits the perimeter structure of the non-ferrous material to optionally be used to provide additional stability to secured devices. At least two magnets clamp opposite sides of the non-ferromagnetic material, magnetically associating the two magnets. The magnets are of a shape conducive to avoiding collision with windshield wipers, when mounted onto a car windshield, while maintaining sufficient volume to provide acceptable magnetic force to support devices mechanically attached to magnets. Example attached devices include a phone, GPS, camera, or tablet.

A vehicle seating system includes a seatback pivotally coupled to a seat base. The seatback is operable between an upright position and a reclined position. A lift assembly is operably coupled to the seat base. The lift assembly is operable between a disengaged position and an engaged position. A position sensor is coupled to the lift assembly via a ball joint, wherein the ball joint and the position sensor adjust with movement of the lift assembly. A seat controller communicatively is coupled to the position sensor, wherein the seat controller determines if the lift assembly is in the disengaged position or has moved to the engaged position based on position data received from the position sensor.

A vehicle comprising a viewing system including at least one camera, a monitor and a support, the support comprising a movable support part supporting the monitor and movably mounted on a fixed support part secured to a frame of the vehicle, a biasing system comprising a locking device mounted on the fixed support part and configured to impart a load to the movable support part so as to maintain the movable support part in a position with respect to the fixed support part, and a pneumatic releasing device configured to inject compressed air in the locking device to release the movable support part from the load.

An articulated stand including a first part and a second part. The first part is configured for holding an electronic device. The first part includes a ball pivot with a chamber and a connector. The chamber defined through the ball pivot. The connector accommodated at least partially in the chamber. The connector configured to electrically connect with a cable connector. The second part including a ball housing portion receiving the ball pivot to form a ball joint.

A portable video and imaging system includes a camera for capturing video of an event, and a video recording device for recording the captured video of the event. The camera is housed in a first housing, the recording device is housed in a second housing, and the first and second housings are physically separate. Various embodiments provide for the system to be mounted to a user's body, an article of clothing, such as a shirt or a hat, to a vehicle, or to an ancillary component carried by the user, such as a firearm.

A system for mounting an object within a vehicle. The system has a housing, a pair of rotatable objects at least partially received within a respective opposed end of the housing, a pair of locking elements within the housing and movable between a locked position in which they exert a locking force against a respective rotatable object, and an unlocked position in which the locking element does not exert the locking force against the respective rotatable object. A handle extends from the housing and is coupled to the locking elements through a rigid linkage within the housing. The handle is pivotable between an extended position in which the handle moves the pair of locking elements via the rigid linkage to the unlocked position and a locked position in which the handle moves the pair of locking elements via the rigid linkage to the locked position.

An isolation joint with an integral angle measurement system. The isolation joint includes a suspension interface yoke, a payload support member, a spherical bearing, and an integral angle measurement system. The suspension interface yoke includes a suspension interface configured to couple the suspension interface yoke to one or more suspension bars. The payload support member includes a payload interface configured to couple a payload to the payload support member. The spherical bearing includes an inner race secured to one of the suspension interface yoke and the payload support member and an outer race secured to the other of the suspension interface yoke and the payload support member. The integral angle measurement system includes a plurality of position sensors configured to measure a change in position between the suspension interface yoke and the payload support member.

A portable video and imaging system includes a camera for capturing video of an event, and a video recording device for recording the captured video of the event. The camera is housed in a first housing, the recording device is housed in a second housing, and the first and second housings are physically separate. Various embodiments provide for the system to be mounted to a user's body, an article of clothing, such as a shirt or a hat, to a vehicle, or to an ancillary component carried by the user, such as a firearm.

A clamp assembly may include an upper clamp member and a lower clamp member removably coupled to the upper clamp member. The upper clamp member may include a first projection extending from a lower surface thereof. The first projection may be configured to be at least partially received in a complementary opening of a mounting member. The lower clamp member may be removably coupled to the upper clamp member. The lower clamp member may include a second projection extending from an upper surface thereof. The second projection may be configured to be at least partially received in the complementary opening. The first projection and the second projection may be configured to substantially impede rotation of the clamp assembly relative to the mounting member.
