    Abstract: A mounting arrangement includes a first portion having a spherical or frusto-conical surface made of a magnetically attractable material; and a second portion configured to matingly engage with the first portion. The second portion includes a mounting body portion housing a magnet and a ring, made of an elastomeric material, disposed on top of the magnet. The elastomeric ring defines a seat for accepting the first portion. The mounting body portion includes an outer shoulder. When the first and second portions are brought into proximity to one another, the shoulder provides a bearing surface for the first portion such that the first portion, magnetically attracted to the second portion, slides on the shoulder into the seat.
