Abstract

A mounting device for securing and supporting at least one metallic object is provided. The mounting device may include a housing providing at least one cavity area for receiving and storing at least one first magnetic mounting element. The housing may form two opposing supporting surfaces defining a recess that coveys the magnetic forces of the at least one first magnetic mounting element there through. The supporting surfaces may provide a plurality of spaced, raised rib portions to orient and secure the at least one metallic object thereto.

Claims (41)

1. A mounting device for securing and supporting at least one metallic object, comprising:

a housing having a casing of magnetizable material forming at least one interior cavity area cooperating with two exterior opposing supporting surfaces, wherein the two opposing supporting surfaces define a predetermined recess, and wherein the two opposing supporting surfaces are neither substantially parallel nor planar; and

at least one first magnetic mounting element received and secured within the at least one cavity area,

wherein the housing forms an elongated baseboard perpendicularly joined to the casing, and

wherein the elongated baseboard forms a plurality of strap slots.

2. The mounting device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first magnetic mounting element is disposed within the at least one cavity area such that opposite polarities face each other along their respective, opposing supporting surfaces.

3. The mounting device of claim 1 , wherein the elongated baseboard forms a plurality of bolt holes.

4. The mounting device of claim 1 , further providing a plurality of spaced, raised rib portions along each supporting surface.

5. The mounting device of claim 4 , wherein the plurality of spaced, raised rib portions are elongated and narrow.

6. The mounting device of claim 1 , further providing a platform base secured to the housing so as to sandwich the at least one first magnetic mounting element within the at least one cavity area.

7. The mounting device of claim 6 , wherein the platform base is made of magnetizable material.

8. The mounting device of claim 2 , further providing at least one second magnetic mounting element, wherein each second magnetic mounting element sandwiches each first magnetic mounting element to the respective supporting surface.

9. The mounting device of claim 1 , wherein the casing provides a tapered leading edge cooperating with each supporting surface.

10. The mounting device of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined recess is defined by a 90 degree angle between the two opposing supporting surfaces.

11. A mounting device for securing and supporting at least one metallic object, comprising:

a housing having a casing of magnetizable material forming at least one interior cavity area cooperating with two exterior opposing supporting surfaces, wherein the two opposing supporting surfaces define a predetermined recess, and wherein the two opposing supporting surfaces are neither substantially parallel nor planar; and

at least one first magnetic mounting element received and secured within the at least one cavity area,

wherein the predetermined recess is defined by a 120 degree angle between the two opposing supporting surfaces.

12. A mounting device for securing and supporting at least one metallic object, comprising:

a housing having a casing of magnetizable material forming at least one interior cavity area cooperating with two exterior opposing supporting surfaces, wherein the opposing supporting surfaces define a predetermined recess, and wherein the two opposing supporting surfaces provide a plurality of spaced, raised rib portions;

an elongated baseboard formed from the housing, wherein the baseboard is perpendicularly joined to the casing;

at least one first magnetic mounting element received and secured within the at least one cavity area, wherein the at least one first magnetic mounting element is disposed within the at least one cavity area such that opposite polarities face each other along their respective, opposing supporting surfaces; and

at least one second magnetic mounting element, wherein each second magnetic mounting element sandwiches each first magnetic mounting element to the respective supporting surface.

13. The mounting device of claim 12 , further providing a platform base secured to the housing so as to sandwich the at least one first and second magnetic mounting element within the at least one cavity area.

14. A method of removably securing a metallic object to a foundational support, comprising:

providing a mounting device comprising:

a housing having a casing of magnetizable material forming at least one interior cavity area cooperating with two exterior opposing supporting surfaces, wherein the opposing supporting surfaces define a predetermined recess, and wherein the housing forms an elongated baseboard perpendicularly joined to the casing;

at least one first magnetic mounting element received and secured within the at least one cavity area; and

a plurality of spaced, raised rib portions along each supporting surface;

mounting the mounting device to the foundational support by attaching a plurality of fasteners through the baseboard and into the foundational support; and

orienting and magnetically securing the metallic object along and to the plurality of spaced, raised rib portions.

15. The mounting device of claim 11 , wherein the at least one first magnetic mounting element is disposed within the at least one cavity area such that opposite polarities face each other along their respective, opposing supporting surfaces.

16. The mounting device of claim 11 , wherein the housing forms an elongated baseboard perpendicularly joined to the casing.

17. The mounting device of claim 16 , wherein the elongated baseboard forms a plurality of strap slots.

18. The mounting device of claim 16 , wherein the elongated baseboard forms a plurality of bolt holes.

19. The mounting device of claim 11 , further providing a plurality of spaced, raised rib portions along each supporting surface.

20. The mounting device of claim 19 , wherein the plurality of spaced, raised rib portions are elongated and narrow.

21. The mounting device of claim 11 , further providing a platform base secured to the housing so as to sandwich the at least one first magnetic mounting element within the at least one cavity area.

22. The mounting device of claim 21 , wherein the platform base is made of magnetizable material.

23. The mounting device of claim 15 , further providing at least one second magnetic mounting element, wherein each second magnetic mounting element sandwiches each first magnetic mounting element to the respective supporting surface.

24. The mounting device of claim 11 , wherein the casing provides a tapered leading edge cooperating with each supporting surface.
