Publication number: 20230403352Abstract: A container magnetic mount for a device has a container lid defined by a rim cylindrical wall, a top, and a lid joint element. A lever arm has an arm joint element in rotating engagement with the container lid. The lid joint element and the lever arm joint element define a dynamic coupling with the lever arm being orientable between one or more arbitrary raised positions and a lowered position. The container magnetic mount also includes a device mount head integrated with the lever arm and one or more magnets that are attractive of a ferromagnetic element on the device. A face of the device mount head is fixed at a prescribed angle relative to the lever arm.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2023Publication date: December 14, 2023Inventors: Kasidy Alves, Vince Alves, Yasuhiro Yamamoto

Publication number: 20230396098Abstract: A mounting assembly for transferring electrical power to an inductively powered device is contemplated, with a plurality of magnets positioned inside the mounting assembly includes for magnetically attracting and retaining the inductively powered device against a face plate, and for axially aligning the inductive power receiver of the inductive powered device with the inductive coil assembly inside the mounting assembly. A mounting support member is attached to the back plate of the mounting housing with adjustable joint for adjusted the orientation of the mounting housing relative to the mounting support member. The magnets retain the inductively powered device against the face plate and in the correct orientation with the inductive coil assembly even against forces which would otherwise disturb the inductive coupling, permitting use of the mounting assembly to transfer power in non-horizontal orientations and in moving vehicles.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Christopher Michael McSweyn, Vince Alves

Publication number: 20230233006Abstract: A container magnetic mount for a device has a container lid defined by a rim cylindrical wall, a top, and a lid joint element. A device mount head includes a device mount head joint element in rotating engagement with the container lid. The lid joint element and the device mount head joint element define a dynamic coupling, with the device mount head being orientable between a raised reverse position and a lowered forward position. The device mount head incorporates a joint arm and the device mount head joint element, and an angularly offset head body with one or more magnets attractive of a ferromagnetic element on the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2022Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventors: Kasidy Alves, Vince Alves, Yasuhiro Yamamoto

Patent number: 11509149Abstract: A modular device charging station connectible to a power source through a cable includes an input endcap defining a power connector slot and a plurality of input locator pins in a predefined layout. A cradle body is defined by a device receptacle, with an input side having a power connector socket connectible to the cable and defining one or more input side locator holes receptively engageable with the input locator pins. An output side A pass-through power connector plug and a plurality of output locator pins in the predefined layout are on an output side. A terminating endcap defines a plug pocket and a plurality of terminating-side locator holes in the predefined layout receptively engageable with the output locator pins. A charging circuit with a power signal input is connected to the power connector socket, and the pass-through power connector plug is electrically connected to the power connector socket.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2018Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: Scosche Industries, Inc.Inventors: Yasuhiro Yamamoto, Mark Larson, Vince Alves
