Self-aligning, multi-surface magnetic mount for electronic display devices

A self-aligning mounting system for mounting an electronic display device to a surface, the self-aligning mounting system comprising:

• a device-side attachment including a first plurality of magnets disposed in a protective cover for the electronic display device, the first plurality of magnets including at least one magnet with an outwardly-facing north pole and at least one magnet with an outwardly-facing south pole;
• and
• a surface-side attachment including a second plurality of magnets disposed in a housing and configured to attach to the surface, the second plurality of magnets including at least one magnet with an outwardly-facing north pole and at least one magnet with an outwardly-facing south pole,
• wherein the at least one outwardly-facing north pole of the first plurality of magnets is arranged to attractively couple with the at least one outwardly-facing south pole of the second plurality of magnets, the at least one outwardly-facing south pole of the first plurality of magnets is arranged to couple with the at least one outwardly-facing north pole of the second plurality of magnets, and the high friction surface covering the first plurality of magnets is configure to be disposed between the first plurality of magnets when coupled to the second plurality of magnets.

A mounting system for mounting an electronic display device to a surface, the mounting mechanism system comprising:

• a device-side attachment including a first outward face and a first plurality of magnets disposed and configured to couple to the electronic display device, the first plurality of magnets including at least one magnet with an outwardly-facing north pole and at least one magnet with an outwardly-facing south pole, the first outward face including at least one recess and/or at least one protrusion, and
• a surface-side attachment including second outward face and a second plurality of magnets disposed and configured to attach to the surface, the second plurality of magnets including at least one magnet with an outwardly-facing north pole and at least one magnet with an outwardly-facing south pole, the second outward face including at least one recess and/or at least one protrusion,
• wherein the at least one outwardly-facing north pole of the first plurality of magnets is arranged to attractively couple with the at least one outwardly-facing south pole of the second plurality of magnets, the at least one outwardly-facing south pole of the first plurality of magnets is arranged to attractively couple with the at least one outwardly-facing north pole of the second plurality of magnets, and the first outward face of the device-side attachment is configured to mechanically interfere with the second outward face of the surface-side attachment to inhibit a shear force.
