Patent number: 11849197Abstract: This application is directed to a surveillance camera system including a magnet mount for physically receiving a camera module. The camera module includes a housing having an exterior surface of a first shape. A surface of the magnet mount has a second shape that is substantially concave and complementary to the first shape, and is configured to engage the exterior surface of the housing of the camera module. A magnetic material is disposed inside the magnet mount and configured to magnetically couple to a magnetic material of the camera module. A friction pad is embedded on the surface of the magnet mount, has a substantially concave shape and protrudes beyond the second surface. The friction pad is configured to come into contact with the exterior surface of the housing of the camera module at least via a peripheral edge of the substantially concave friction pad.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2020Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Gregory Daniel Louis Germe, William Raeming Dong, Jason Evans Goulden, Adam Duckworth Mittleman, Nicholas Webb, Poll Shih

Patent number: 10250783Abstract: This application is directed to a physical assembly including a magnet mount for physically receiving a physical module that includes a housing having a rear surface of a first shape. The magnet mount includes a first surface, a second surface and a magnetic material. The first surface is configured to attach to a mounting surface. The second surface has a second shape that is substantially complementary to the first shape, and is configured to engage the rear surface of the housing of the physical module. The magnetic material is disposed between the first and second surfaces and configured to magnetically couple to a magnetic material of the physical module. When the physical module is magnetically coupled to the magnet mount, an adjustable union between the magnet mount and the physical module is formed permitting adjustment of an angle of orientation of the physical module with respect to the magnet mount.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2016Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Gregory Daniel Louis Germe, William Raeming Dong, Jason Evans Goulden, Adam Duckworth Mittleman, Nicholas Webb, Poll Shih

Publication number: 20180013271Abstract: This application is directed to a mounting plate for attaching an electronic device to a mounting surface. The mounting plate includes an opening configured to receive a mounting fastener for securing the mounting plate to the mounting surface, and a first polygonal fastener structure configured to mate with a complementary second polygonal fastener structure of the electronic device. When the first and second fastener structures are mechanically mated to each other, the electronic device is fixed to the mounting plate. When the mounting fastener is secured to the mounting surface through the opening, the mounting plate is rotatable such that when the electronic device is fixed onto the mounting plate and the mounting plate is secured to the mounting surface by the mounting fastener, the electronic device and the mounting plate have an unlimited range of rotation with respect to the mounting surface and substantially consistent resistance.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2016Publication date: January 11, 2018Inventors: Jason Evans Goulden, William Raeming Dong, Gregory Daniel Louis Germe

Publication number: 20180013272Abstract: This application is directed to a system for securing an electronic device to a surface. The system includes multiple clips. Each clip includes a first finger and a second finger made from a single piece of flexible material. Each of the fingers includes a peripheral portion and a contiguous inner portion, the inner portions of the fingers being connected at a flexion point. The fingers are configured to be held in an open position when not under tension and in a closed position when under sufficient tension. The peripheral portions include respective through holes. When the fingers are held in the closed position, the inner portions form an opening to accommodate a contour of a cable of predetermined thickness and cross-sectional profile extending from the electronic device, and the through holes of the fingers are aligned and configured to receive a fixing fastener.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2016Publication date: January 11, 2018Inventors: Gregory Daniel Louis Germe, William Raeming Dong, Poll Shih
