Abstract

A personal use accessory comprising a utility plate having a front side and a rear side, a backing plate having a front side and a rear side, a first plurality of magnetically attractive elements disposed upon the rear side of said utility plate, a second plurality of magnetically attractive elements disposed upon the front side of said backing plate, and a utility element; said first and second plurality of magnetically attractive elements arranged to permit magnetic attraction between at least a subset of said first plurality of magnetically attractive elements and at least a subset of said second plurality of magnetically attractive elements, said magnetic attraction being of sufficient total force to support the personal use accessory when said utility plate and said backing plate are separated by a non-magnetic divider.

Claims (33)

1. A personal use accessory configured for direct mounting and support on a non-magnetic divider, said personal use accessory comprising:

a utility plate having a front side and a rear side;

a backing plate having a front side and a rear side;

at least one accessory plate, said at least one accessory plate being a mirror;

at least one receiving channel located on said front side of said utility plate and being configured to support said at least one accessory plate thereon;

a first plurality of magnetically attractive elements disposed upon said rear side of said utility plate;

a second plurality of magnetically attractive elements disposed upon said front side of said backing plate;

said backing plate and said utility plate being configured so that the non-magnetic divider can be interposed between said rear side of said utility plate and said front side of said backing plate, whereupon at least one of said first plurality of magnetically attractive elements magnetically attracts at least one of said second plurality of magnetically attractive elements with sufficient force to directly support each other and mount said personal use accessory on the non-magnetic divider.

2. The personal use accessory of claim 1 wherein said receiving channel comprises a flange.

3. The personal use accessory of claim 1 wherein each of said first plurality of magnetically attractive elements is a magnet of one polarity and each of said second plurality of magnetically attractive elements is a magnet of opposite polarity to said one polarity.

4. The personal use accessory of claim 1 wherein said first and second plurality of magnetically attractive elements are ferromagnetic.

5. A personal use accessory configured for mounting on a non-magnetic divider, said personal use accessory comprising:

a utility plate having a front side and a rear side;

at least one utility element in a form of a receiving channel located on said front side of said utility plate, said receiving channel being configured to support at least one accessory plate thereon, said receiving channel comprising one or more drainage holes;

a backing plate having a front side and a rear side;

a first plurality of magnetically attractive elements disposed upon said rear side of said utility plate; and

a second plurality of magnetically attractive elements disposed upon said front side of said backing plate;

said backing plate and said utility plate being configured so that the non-magnetic divider is interposed between said rear side of said utility plate and said front side of said backing plate, with at least one of said first plurality of magnetically attractive elements being configured for magnetic attraction to at least one of said second plurality of magnetically attractive elements with sufficient force to support said personal use accessory on the non-magnetic divider.

6. A personal use accessory configured for mounting on a non-magnetic divider, said personal use accessory comprising:

a utility plate having a front side and a rear side;

at least one utility element in a form of a receiving channel located on said front side of said utility plate, said receiving channel being configured to support at least one accessory plate thereon;

a backing plate having a front side and a rear side;

a first plurality of magnetically attractive elements disposed upon said rear side of said utility plate; and

a second plurality of magnetically attractive elements disposed upon said front side of said backing plate;

said backing plate and said utility plate being configured so that the non-magnetic divider is interposed between said rear side of said utility plate and said front side of said backing plate, with at least one of said first plurality of magnetically attractive elements being configured for magnetic attraction to at least one of said second plurality of magnetically attractive elements with sufficient force to support said personal use accessory on the non-magnetic divider; and wherein said receiving channel further comprises a nub configured for gripping the at least one accessory plate.

7. A personal use accessory configured for mounting on a non-magnetic divider, said personal use accessory comprising:

a utility plate having a front side and a rear side;

at least one utility element in a form of a receiving channel located on said front side of said utility plate, said receiving channel being configured to support at least one accessory plate thereon;

a backing plate having a front side and a rear side;

a first plurality of magnetically attractive elements disposed upon said rear side of said utility plate; and

a second plurality of magnetically attractive elements disposed upon said front side of said backing plate;

said backing plate and said utility plate being configured so that the non-magnetic divider is interposed between said rear side of said utility plate and said front side of said backing plate, with at least one of said first plurality of magnetically attractive elements being configured for magnetic attraction to at least one of said second plurality of magnetically attractive elements with sufficient force to support said personal use accessory on the non-magnetic divider; and wherein a grip material is disposed upon an attractive surface of at least one of said first plurality of magnetically attractive elements and an attractive surface of at least one of said second plurality of magnetically attractive elements, said grip material being of a greater coefficient of friction than the grip material comprising said one of the first and second magnetically attractive elements upon which said material is disposed.

8. The personal use accessory of claim 7 wherein said grip material is an elastomer.
