Abstract
A container magnetic mount for a device has a container lid defined by a rim cylindrical wall, a top, and a lid joint element. A lever arm has an arm joint element in rotating engagement with the container lid. The lid joint element and the lever arm joint element define a dynamic coupling with the lever arm being orientable between one or more arbitrary raised positions and a lowered position. The container magnetic mount also includes a device mount head integrated with the lever arm and one or more magnets that are attractive of a ferromagnetic element on the device. A face of the device mount head is fixed at a prescribed angle relative to the lever arm.
Claims19
A container magnetic mount engageable to a structure, comprising:
- a container lid;
- and
- a device mount with an elongate bail arm in rotating engagement with the container lid in an offset and counterbalanced relation and a mount head including one or more magnets attractive of a ferromagnetic element on the structure, the mount head being fixed at a head end opposite a tail end toward the offset bias and at a proscribed angle relative to the elongate bail arm.
A liquid container, comprising:
- a container body defined by a container interior and an open rim;
- a lid engageable to the open rim of the container body, the lid being defined by a rim cylindrical wall and a top including a platform having a rotatable spout in fluid communication with the container interior;
- a device mount with an elongate bail arm in rotating engagement with the lid in an offset and counterbalanced relation and a mount head including one or more magnets attractive of a ferromagnetic element on the structure, the mount head being fixed at a head end opposite a tail end toward the offset bias and at a proscribed angle relative to the elongate bail arm.
A container magnetic mount, comprising:
- a container lid defined by a rim cylindrical wall, a top, and a lid joint element;
- a lever arm including an arm joint element in rotating engagement with the container lid, the arm joint element including a pair of arm shafts offset from a center thereof, the lid joint element and the lever arm joint element defining a dynamic coupling with the lever arm being orientable between one or more arbitrary raised positions and a lowered position;
- and
- a device mount head integrated with the lever arm and including one or more magnets attractive of a ferromagnetic element on the device, a face of the device mount head being at a prescribed angle relative to the lever arm.
The container magnetic mount of 16, wherein the lever arm defines a central opening receptive to the top of the lid.
