Abstract
A magnetic mounting system is provided. The system includes a device having a magnetic attachment feature and a magnetic device mount. The magnetic device mount has a mating magnetic attachment feature. The magnetic attachment feature and mating magnetic attachment feature allow specific angular, radial, and/or longitudinal alignment of the device relative to the mount without a mechanical interface. An electronic device holder and charging system with integrated charging and data transfer interface and a self-aligning, magnetic coupling and docking interface with on-demand decoupling feature are also disclosed.
Claims9
A magnetic mounting system comprising:
- a device having an indexing magnetic attachment feature comprising a first multipole magnet;
- a magnetic device mount having a mating indexing magnetic attachment feature comprising a second multipole magnet, the magnetic attachment feature and mating magnetic attachment feature configured to index the device at predictable and programmed intervals, allowing specific angular, radial, and/or longitudinal alignment of the device relative to the mount without a mechanical interface;
- and
- an intermediary device mount adapter attached to the device and attached to the mount, wherein the intermediary device mount adapter has a first side having an attachment profile surface, a second side having an attachment profile surface, threaded holes for accepting mounting means, a threaded stud for interfacing with device mounting means, and supplemental attachment means for attaching additional devices.
