Claims21
A foldable ring assembly comprising:
- a mount having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface of the mount configured to be magnetically coupled to a handheld electronic device and the second surface is parallel to the first surface and facing away from the handheld electronic device, the mount comprising:
- a first magnet positioned closer to the first surface of the mount,
- a central magnet positioned at or near a center of the mount and positioned closer to the second surface,
- a non-slip cover that covers the central magnet and forms at least a portion of the second surface of the mount, and
- a support ring rotatably coupled to the mount, wherein the support ring is configured to rotate between a closed position and an open position and wherein the support ring surrounds the central magnet in the closed position.
A foldable ring assembly comprising:
- a mount configured to be magnetically coupled to a handheld electronic device, the mount comprising:
- a first axial end surface configured to be nearest the hand held electronic device when the foldable ring assembly is magnetically coupled to the handheld electronic device and a second axial end surface located furthest from the handheld electronic device when the foldable ring assembly is magnetically coupled to the handheld electronic device,
- a first magnet located nearer to the first axial end surface and between the first axial end surface and the second axial end surface,
- a second magnet located nearer to the second axial end surface and between the first axial end surface and the second axial end surface,
- a central magnet positioned at or near the center of the mount and located between the first axial end surface and the second axial end surface, and
- a plastic component disposed between the first magnet and the second magnet, and
- a support ring rotatably coupled to the mount, wherein the support ring is configured to rotate around a pin between a closed position and an open position and wherein the support ring surrounds the central magnet in the closed position.
