Abstract
A system for mounting a wireless cellphone charger to a cellphone, including a cellphone case and a wireless cellphone charger mount. The cellphone case defines a bore and a recess disposed adjacent the bore and includes a shell and a first retention ring having a first metal plate receivable by the recess to secure the first retention ring to the shell. The wireless cellphone charger mount has a wireless cellphone charger, a second metal plate and an interface comprising a protrusion receivable by the bore. The wireless cellphone charger is securable to the cellphone case when the first retention ring is secured to the shell by aligning the protrusion and the bore and magnetically coupling the first and second metal plates.
Claims17
A mounting system for mounting a wireless cellphone charger to a cellphone case for charging a cellphone is secured to the cellphone case, the mounting system comprising:
- a cellphone case defining a bore and a recess disposed adjacent the bore and including a shell and a retention ring having a first metal plate receivable by the recess to secure the retention ring to the shell;
- and
- a wireless cellphone charger mount having a wireless cellphone charger, a second metal plate, and an interface comprising a protrusion receivable by the bore to secure the wireless cellphone charger to the cellphone case, the wireless cellphone charger securable to the cellphone case when the retention ring is secured to the shell by aligning the protrusion and the bore and magnetically coupling the first and second metal plates;
- wherein at least one of the first and second metal plates is a magnet and the other of the first and second metal plates is magnetically attracted to the magnet
- wherein the bore includes a central bore and four lateral slots contiguous with the central bore and spaced 90 degrees apart, and the protrusion has four lateral tabs spaced 90 degrees apart and received by the slots when the protrusion is received by the bore, and
- wherein the recess, the central bore, and the first and second metal plates are circular, and the recess is disposed about the bore.
A mounting system for mounting a wireless cellphone charger to a cellphone case for charging a cellphone secured to the cellphone case, the mounting system comprising:
- a cellphone case defining a central bore, four lateral slots contiguous with the central bore spaced apart 90 degrees, and a circular recess disposed about the central bore and the slots, the cellphone case including a shell and at least two circular retention rings each having a first circular metal plate receivable by the recess and securable to the cellphone case;
- and
- a wireless cellphone charger mount having a wireless cellphone charger, a second metal plate, and an interface comprising a protrusion having four lateral tabs spaced apart 90 degrees receivable by the lateral slots when the wireless cellphone charger is secured to the cellphone case, the wireless cellphone charger securable to the cellphone case when one of the retention rings is secured to the shell by aligning the lateral tabs and the lateral slots and magnetically coupling the first and second metal plates;
- wherein at least one of the first and second metal plates is a magnet and the other of the first and second metal plates is magnetically attracted to the magnet.
A mounting system for mounting a wireless cellphone charger to a cellphone case for charging a cellphone secured to the cellphone case, the mounting system comprising:
- a cellphone case including a shell and a circular retention ring having a first circular metal plate, the cellphone case defining a central bore, four lateral slots contiguous with the central bore spaced apart 90 degrees, four case tabs separating the slots, and a circular recess disposed about the central bore and the slots, the retention ring and first metal plate being received by the recess and the retention ring being secured to the cellphone case to hold the first metal plate on the cellphone case;
- and
- a wireless cellphone charger mount having a wireless cellphone charger, a second metal plate, and an interface comprising a protrusion having four lateral tabs spaced apart 90 degrees receivable by the lateral slots when the wireless cellphone charger is secured to the cellphone case, the wireless cellphone charger securable to the cellphone case by aligning the lateral tabs and the lateral slots and magnetically coupling the first and second metal plates;
- wherein at least one of the first and second metal plates is a magnet and the other of the first and second metal plates is magnetically attracted to the magnet, and
- wherein the case tabs form notches defining gaps and are configured to engage a cellphone mounting accessory having a plurality of mount tabs receivable in the slots and receivable by the gaps during rotation of the cellphone mounting accessory mounting accessory relative to the cellphone case to engage the cellphone case and the cellphone mounting accessory.
