Abstract
A magnetic mount for an electronic device with an inductive charging receiver and one or more engagement points. The mount has a static inductive charging head with an inductive coil delivering a charging current to the electronic device with the inductive charging receiver being in axial alignment with the inductive coil. A back plate with a circular frame is in rotating engagement with the static inductive charging head. The back plate also include one or more magnet support arms on which permanent magnets are mounted to magnetically couple with the one or more engagement points on the electronic device.

A magnetic mount for an electronic device with an inductive charging receiver and one or more engagement points, the
- a static inductive charging head including an inductive coil delivering a charging current to the electronic device with the inductive charging receiver being in axial alignment with the inductive coil;
- and
- a back plate with a circular frame in rotating engagement with the static inductive charging head, and one or more magnet support arms on which permanent magnets are mounted in a spaced, offset relationship to the static inductive charging head and to magnetically couple with the one or more engagement points on the electronic device.
An inductive charging dock, comprising:
- a rotor frame with an interior circular bearing rim and one or more magnet support arms extending radially outwards;
- a stator base to which the rotor frame is rotatably engaged within the circular bearing rim thereof, the stator base including a structural mount interface;
- an inductive charging coil disposed on the stator base;
- and
- one or more permanent magnets mounted to each of the one or more magnet support arms.
