  • Patent number: 11943883
    Abstract: A magnetic bistable hinge system includes a hinge bracket, first and second magnets, and a rotatable member. The first magnet may be coupled to the hinge bracket and be configured to rotate about an axis of the hinge bracket from a first bistable position to a second bistable position. When the south pole of the first magnet is at a first angle relative to the south pole of the second magnet, the first magnet and the second magnets are in the first bistable position and the rotatable member is in a closed position relative to the hinge bracket. When the south pole of the first magnet is at a second angle relative to the south pole of the second magnet, the first and second magnets are at the second bistable position, and the rotatable member is rotated to an open position relative to the hinge bracket.

  • Patent number: 11877118
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a magnetic system within a case for an electronic accessory. The case may include a housing portion and a lid coupled to the housing portion. Within the housing portion may be a housing magnet. The housing magnet may be oriented such that the magnetic field of the housing magnet is oriented transverse to a longitudinal axis of the case. The housing magnet may have a size and strength to magnetically couple the electronic accessory within a cavity of the housing. A hinge magnet may be located along an axis of rotation of the lid with respect to the housing. The hinge magnet and housing magnet may magnetically interact to form a bistable magnetic hinge. Thus, the one housing magnet may be large enough and have a strong enough magnetic field to perform various functions.

  • Publication number: 20230119270
    Abstract: A watch system may include a watchband including a flexible member configured to be mounted onto a wrist of a user, and a puck including watch functionality. The watchband may have an end that has a concave curved shape. The puck may have a connection interface that has a convex curved shape. The connection interface may be to be removably coupled to the end of the watchband. The watchband and the puck may have corresponding locking features that are configured to rotationally and translationally fix the puck to the watchband. The corresponding locking features may be configured to be engaged when the watchband is translated relative to the puck and rotated relative to the puck by a predetermined rotation angle.
