Abstract
A magnetic mounting apparatus for mounting objects having a first support member comprising a receptacle for receiving an accessory item to be mounted and a first magnet, and a second support member comprising a second magnet with an unlike polarity that creates an attractive force between the support members. The second and first magnets are configured so that placement of the second support member near the first support member causes the support members to secure each other in place on a surface via friction through their magnetic force and hold an object in place with the surface sandwiched in between the first and second support members.
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/083,318, filed Jul. 24, 2008, which is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth.
- This application pertains to mounting objects to other objects by a combination of magnetic attraction and physical retention.
- Suction cups are commonly used in fish tanks or aquariums to secure various items such as heaters, thermometers, tubing and decorations, to the tank's walls and floor. When new, suction cups adhere well to the tank walls or floor. However, due to wear or deformation over time, suction cups may lose their ability to grip the tank wall or floor and eventually become detached.
- The present application is directed to an apparatus that attaches an accessory item by a combination of physical retention and magnetic attraction to a surface, such as the wall of a fish tank. It is also directed to other articles mounted with suction cups such as decorative items for refrigerators and windows such as sun-catchers, picture frames, other knick-knack items and the like.
- The apparatus comprises two parts: a first support member and a second support member. Both support members contain synergistic, cooperating magnets that secure the support members together to a surface disposed between the two support members via their mutual attraction. Either of the two support members may also have one or more receptacles, such as a channel or a slot for accommodating and holding items, such as a heater, thermometer, tube, or decoration. The attachment side of these is placed into the receptacle, which retains and supports the items in a fixed position.
- In one example of the embodiment, the apparatus may be used to mount a thermometer to a fish tank after the suction cup mounting mechanism of the thermometer has lost its capacity to maintain its suction ability. Particularly, the first and second support members are placed adjacent to each other on opposite sides of the tank wall. The suction cup of the thermometer is slipped into a slot in one of the support members to attach the thermometer to that support member. The support members secure each other in place on the wall of the fish tank through their magnetic attractive force.
- A more detailed understanding may be had from the following description, given by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is sectional view of a magnetic mounting apparatus showing first and second support members with synergistic, cooperating magnets attached to the side wall of a tank; -

FIG. 11 perspective view of the two modules of the first support member mounted side by side. - Referring now to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to sectional view of the
magnetic mounting apparatus 10 is shown. Themagnetic mounting apparatus 10 may be attached to the walls or floor of afish tank 20. Themagnetic mounting apparatus 10 comprises afirst support member 30 having afirst magnet 70 and asecond support member 40, having asecond magnet 47 oriented such that the polarity of thesecond magnet 47 that faces thefirst magnet 70 is opposite in polarity to the polarity that it faces in thefirst magnet 70. Accordingly, thefirst magnet 70 cooperates with thesecond magnet 47 and causes the two support members, 30 and 40, to be magnetically attracted to each other, thereby sandwiching any surface in-between and causing the two support members, 30 and 40, to affix to a surface by friction. Thefirst support member 30 and thesecond support member 40 are shown inFIG. 1 as having a generally cubic, or block, shape. However, thefirst support member 30 and thesecond support member 40 may be of any shape. Themagnetic mounting apparatus 10 may be formed of a non-toxic plastic material or of a material free of heavy metal substances, such as lead or cadmium. It may also be formed of a durable material such as metal or plastic. However, other or additional materials may be used as long as they create a surface friction sufficient to prevent themounting apparatus 10 from sliding off the mounting surface or object. - Referring now to
FIG. 2 , which is a side view of thefirst support member 30 of themagnetic mounting apparatus 10, thefirst magnet 70 may be embedded within thefirst support member 30 or, alternatively, attached to thefront face 31, outside of thefirst support member 30, such that the front portion or thefirst magnet 70 abuts a surface, such as the wall offish tank 20. As it can be seen fromFIG. 2 , in addition to thefirst magnet 70, thefirst support member 30 may also have afront face 31, aback face 32, atop face 35, abottom face 36 and areceptacle 50. - The
first magnet 70 may be in the form of a thin, flat shape. Alternatively, thefirst magnet 70 may be a series of spaced-apart magnets disposed within thefirst support member 30 or alternatively on the front face 31 (not shown). These spaced-apart magnets also may be disk-shaped or have a square or circular shape. The shape of thefirst support member 30, or thefirst magnet 70, should be complimentary to placing upon to a flat surface. The magnets may comprise permanent magnets and can include ceramic, ferrite, alnico, injection molded, flexible, rare earth, superconducting solenoid magnets (SMMs), and/or superconducting magnets (SCMs). As referred to above, thefirst support member 30 may include areceptacle 50, channel or other mechanism to hold an item. In the example depicted inFIG. 2 , the first support member includes one receptacle, 50 for receiving and holding anaccessory item 60. - Referring now to
FIG. 3 , which is a side view of thesecond support member 40 of themagnetic mounting apparatus 10, thesecond support member 40 may have a thin, flat shape, or may be substantially similar to thefirst support member 30. Thesecond magnet 47 may be embedded within thesecond support member 40, or alternatively attached to thefront face 41 of thesecond support member 40. In one example, thesecond magnet 47 may be positioned in the center of thesecond support member 40. Where thesecond support member 40 is substantially similar to thefirst support member 30, thesecond magnet 47 is positioned on the portion of thesecond support member 40 that abuts thetank surface 20B (as shown inFIG. 1 ). Thesecond magnet 47 may be any of the type discussed above with respect to thefirst magnet 70. As it can be seen fromFIG. 3 , in addition to thesecond magnet 47, thesecond support member 40 may also have afront face 42, aback face 41, atop face 45, andbottom face 46. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , a perspective view of an example firstsupport member 30 with onereceptacle 50 is shown. Thereceptacle 50 includes afirst channel 51 and asecond channel 52, both of which form a cavity. Thereceptacle 50 is open at thetop face 35 of thefirst member 30 to allow for the insertion of an attachment accessory 60 (examples of which are shown inFIGS. 6 and 7 ). At the opposite end of the cavity, thereceptacle 50 has aback slot 54. With respect to thefirst member 30, theback slot 54 on theback face 32 ends at or near thebottom face 36 of thefirst member 30. Thereceptacle 50 may be generally formed of a durable material such as metal or plastic; however, other or additional materials may be used. Thereceptacle 50 may receive and secure anattachment accessory 60 by inserting thefirst attachment member 60A andsecond attachment member 60B into the opening of thefirst channel 51. For the purpose of this example, the cavity is a T-shaped cavity having a T-shaped opening. It should be noted however that the cavity may be shaped in any other form. The horizontal portion of the T-shaped cavity is flat in the middle and turned inwardly at the ends so as to permit insertion of thefirst attachment member 60A andsecond attachment member 60B. - The diameter of the
first attachment member 60A is smaller than the width of the T-shaped cavity, and smaller than the width of thefirst channel 51 of thereceptacle 50. The diameter of thesecond attachment member 60B is smaller that the general width of the cavity, to permit insertion. However, the diameter of thesecond attachment member 60B is larger than the width of thefirst channel 51, to permit anchoring of thesecond attachment member 60B inside thefirst channel 51 of thereceptacle 50. Accordingly, thefirst channel 51 of thereceptacle 50 secures theattachment accessory 60, and prevents it from sliding out of thefirst support member 30. Furthermore, theback slot 54 of thereceptacle 50 secures theattachment accessory 60, and prevents it from sliding downward or outward, depending on the orientation of thefirst support member 30. - Referring to
FIG. 5 , an alternative example of thefirst support member 30′, that includes a series ofreceptacles 50, is shown. Similar to thefirst support member 30, thefirst support member 30′ may have a cube or block shape. However, thefirst support member 30′ includesmultiple receptacles 50 for receivingmultiple attachment accessories 60. - Referring now again to
FIG. 1 , the attachment accessory 60 (as seen inFIGS. 6 and 7 ) may be attached to thetank 20 wall or floor in the following manner: thefirst support member first surface 20A of thetank 20, which may be a glass or plastic wall or bottom, or other relatively thin, flat surface. Thesecond support member 40 is placed at a corresponding position outside of thetank 20, and against thesecond surface 20B of thetank 20. Thesupport members 30/30′ and 40 are positioned such that they are in a complimentary position on opposite sides of the tank wall or bottom 20. Themagnet 70 in thefirst support member 30/30′ is placed to abut thesurface 20A of thetank 20 with thefront side 31 of thefirst support member 30/30′ abutting the tank'ssurface 20A. Thesecond support member 40 is positioned outside thetank 20 such that the pole in thesecond magnet 47 faces an unlike pole of thefirst magnet 70 within thetank 20. - The force due to the magnetic attraction between the dissimilar polarities of the first and
second magnets second support members 30/30′ and 40 in the desired position on opposite sides of thetank surfaces support members 30/30′ and 40 along any surface in a way that opposite polarities of the magnets, 70 and 47, the first and second support members, 30/30′ and 40 are attracted to one another through the surface, 20. This magnetic attraction retains thesupport members 30/30′ and 40 in a fixed position on thesurface 20. Thereceptacle 50 then mechanically secures theattachment accessory 60, such as an object with a suction cup (as seen inFIGS. 6 and 7 ), against thesurface 20A. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , a side view of thefirst support member 30 having a suction cup attached to a thermometer T is shown. In this example, theattachment accessory 60 is the thermometer T, having afirst attachment member 60A and a second attachment member, (e.g., a suction cup), 60B inserted into thereceptacle 50 of thesupport member 30. As a result, thereceptacle 50, secures theaccessory item 60. - Referring to
FIG. 7 , a side view of the magnetic mountingapparatus 10 ofFIG. 1 is shown attached to the floor of thefish tank 20. In this example, anattachment accessory 60 is depicted as a decorative plant P attached to thetank 20. Thefirst support member 30 is placed inside thetank 20 against thefirst surface 20A. Thesecond support member 40 is placed at a corresponding position outside of thetank 20, against thesecond surface 20B of thetank 20. The support members, 30 and 40, are positioned such that they are in a complimentary position on opposite sides of the tank wall or bottom 20. Themagnet 70 in thefirst support member 30 is placed to abut thesurface 20A of thetank 20 with thefirst support member 30 abutting the tank'ssurface 20A. Thesecond support member 40 is positioned outside thetank 20 such that the pole in thesecond magnet 47 faces an unlike pole of thefirst magnet 70 within thetank 20. - The force due to the magnetic attraction between the dissimilar polarities of the first and
second magnets support members surface 20. Accordingly, the plant P is secured in the same manner as described above with regard to the thermometer T ofFIG. 6 . - A user may then easily detach or shift the position of an item placed inside the tank without the need of introducing his or her hands into the tank or touching the water. For example, a user may slide the
second support member 40 on the surface outside thetank 20, causing thefirst support member 30 to move inside thetank 20 to the desired position because of the magnetic attraction between theirrespective magnets - In an alternative embodiment, the
first support member 30 may be formed from out of two separate modules, where one may remain attached to the surface and magnetically attracted to thesecond support member 40. The other module may be detachable, such that different types of modules could be used. -
FIG. 8 is a perspective view of an alternative, modular,first support member 300. The modularfirst support member 300 includes afirst module 305 and asecond module 315. Thefirst module 305 is attachable to thesecond module 315 by sliding it onto the second module. - Continuing to refer to
FIG. 8 , thefirst module 305 of thefirst support member 300 has areceptacle 500 as previously described with akeyed housing channel 370 and acatch 585 that allows it to lock/slide together with thesecond module 315. Thesecond module 315 has a key 345 which locks with thekeyed channel 360 of thefirst module 305 and rests against arib 365 for vertically aligning the twomodules front face 355 and two lateral faces, 320 325. - Additionally, the
first module 305 of the modularfirst support member 300 includes afront face 310, atop face 350, a receptacle, 500, abottom face 360 and aback face 320. Thereceptacle 500 includes afirst channel 510 and asecond channel 520, both of which form a cavity. Thereceptacle 500 is open at thetop face 350 of thefirst module 305 to allow for the insertion of an attachment accessory such as the attachment accessories described above. At the opposite end of the cavity, thereceptacle 500 has aback slot 540. With respect to thefirst module 305, theback slot 540 ends at or near thebottom face 360 of thefirst member 300. Thereceptacle 500 may be generally formed of a durable material such as metal or plastic; however, other or additional materials may be used. Various sized back slots in thereceptacle 500 may allow it to receive and secure attachment accessories with different sizedfirst attachment members 60A and second attachment members, (e.g., a suction cup), 60B. Thefront face 310 of thefirst module 305 includes akey housing channel 370 for attachment with thesecond module 315. -
