Abstract
A mounting bracket for quick connect magnetic charging cable. This bracket facilitates the holding and self-positioning of a self-biasing cable (i.e., magnetic cable), such that it can quickly and easily connect the charging port of an electronics device, when the device is placed in proximately to the cable, thus removing the need for the user to insert the charging cable themselves with a separate action. The cable holding mechanism is mounted onto another mount designed to mechanically hold the electronic device in a specific orientation. One single action can be taken by the user (mounting the device) and thus enabling the wired charging
Claims8
A mounting bracket for quick connect between an electronic device and a magnetic charging cable, comprising:
- a mount for mounting the bracket to a fixed feature of the environment;
- a vertical cable mount, further comprising:
- a cable channel for a magnetic charging cable to run therethrough;
- and
- a magnetic or ferrous element configured to provide connecting force to complete and maintain an electrical connection between the device and the cable,
- wherein the mounting bracket facilitates the mounting of a device and connection of a magnetic wired charging connection in a single action.
A system of providing a simultaneous mechanical and electrical quick disconnect with an electronic device, comprising:
- a mechanical quick disconnect system that mechanically couples the device to a bracket,
- a vertical cable mount fixed to the mechanical bracket, further comprising:
- a cable channel to hold a charging cable with a magnetically attractive termination;
- and
- a means to allow the attractive force of a magnet to complete an electrical connection with at least one conductor;
- wherein the mounting bracket facilitates the mounting of a device and connection of a magnetic wired charging connection in a single action.
