Magnetic mobile-device mount
View Patent ↗A magnetic mobile device mount is an apparatus that attaches a mobile device onto a surface. More specifically, the apparatus facilitates the mounting and dismounting of the mobile device by utilizing magnetic force. The apparatus includes a casing, at least one magnet, a magnet-holding fixture, a first adhesive layer, and a ferric plate. The casing is a platform for the mobile device. The casing includes a base and a cover. The base and the cover detachably attach to each other so that the at least one magnet within the casing is accessible. The magnet-holding fixture positions the at least one magnet within the casing. The first adhesive layer attaches the casing onto the desired surface. The ferric plate attaches the mobile device to the casing as the ferric plate is fixed on the mobile device and the at least one magnet magnetically couples to the ferric plate.
1. A magnetic mobile device mount comprises:
a casing comprising a base and a cover;
at least one magnet;
a magnet-holding fixture;
a first adhesive layer;
the cover being perimetrically aligned with the base;
the cover being detachably mounted to the base;
the magnet-holding fixture being positioned within the casing;
the magnet-holding fixture being recessed into the base;
the at least one magnet being mounted into the magnet-holding fixture;
at least one fastener originating in the magnet-holding fixture and extending into the base, the at least one fastener securing the magnet-holding fixture to the base;
whereby when the cover is mounted to the base, the cover covers the magnet-holding fixture and the at least one magnet, whereby the cover is configured to be removable by a user
the ferric plate being magnetically coupled to the at least one magnet.
2. The magnetic mobile device mount as claimed as claim 1 comprises:
the magnet-holding fixture comprises a plate body and at least one magnet-receiving receptacle;
the at least one magnet-receiving receptacle traversing into the plate body; and
the at least one magnet being positioned into the at least one magnet-receiving receptacle.
3. The magnetic mobile device mount as claimed as claim 1 comprises:
the at least one magnet being a plurality of magnets; and
the plurality of magnets being distributed across the magnet-holding fixture.
4. The magnetic mobile device mount as claimed as claim 3 comprises:
the magnet-holding fixture comprises a plate body and a plurality of magnet-receiving receptacles;
each of the plurality of magnet-receiving receptacles traversing into the plate body; and
each of the plurality of magnets being positioned into a corresponding receptacle from the plurality of magnet-receiving receptacles.
5. The magnetic mobile device mount as claimed as claim 1 comprises:
a first removable seal;
the first removable seal being detachably attached across the first adhesive layer, opposite to the base; and
the first removable seal being coextensive with the first adhesive layer.
6. The magnetic mobile device mount as claimed as claim 1 comprises:
a friction-inducing layer;
the friction-inducing layer being positioned external to the casing; and
the friction-inducing layer being connected across the cover.
7. The magnetic mobile device mount as claimed as claim 6 , wherein the fiction-inducing layer is made of rubber.
8. The magnetic mobile device mount as claimed as claim 1 comprises:
a ferric plate;
a second adhesive layer;
the second adhesive layer being connected across the ferric plate; and
the second adhesive layer being oriented away from the casing.
9. The magnetic mobile device mount as claimed as claim 8 comprises:
a second removable seal;
the second removable seal being detachably attached across the second adhesive layer, opposite to the ferric plate; and
the second removable seal being coextensive with the second adhesive layer.
