Patent number: 11344140Abstract: The design described here is a new display for hand-held consumer electronic devices. The display has a mounting member, or puck, that is lifted from rest on a display surface. The puck carries a rechargeable power storage device for the hand-held device. The power storage device charges when the puck is at rest but is disconnected and powers the hand-held when the puck is lifted. The puck also carries a wireless device that outputs a security alarm signal for the purpose of indicating a theft event.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2009Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: Mobile Tech, Inc.Inventors: Donald Henson, Kris Schatz, Wade Wheeler

Publication number: 20210196058Abstract: This disclosure is directed to product merchandising systems that enable products to be swapped between base assemblies of different product merchandising systems and accommodate different charging/powering capabilities of the products. Product merchandising systems have puck assemblies comprising modular puck upper portions and modular puck lower portions. Various different products may be mounted on the modular puck upper portions, each with a different way of receiving power from the modular puck upper portions. Each modular puck upper portion can be detached from a modular puck lower portion of a product merchandising system and reattached to a modular puck lower portion of another product merchandising system without having to reconfigure a power connection to the product attached to the modular puck upper portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2020Publication date: July 1, 2021Applicant: Mobile Tech, Inc.Inventors: Wade Wheeler, Robert Logan Blaser, Mitch Hose, Jacob Michael Collier

Publication number: 20190251808Abstract: This disclosure relates to retail security systems for use with attached electronic products. The retail security system may have a plurality of pucks to attach to least one electronic product and interconnected by connective modules to form the retail security system. The pucks can be modular pucks to form a modular retail security system. Through a cabled connection, the electronic products connect to the modular retail security system thereby providing power and alarming security for the connected electronic product. The modular retail security system may have interactive network elements to communicate wired or wirelessly with a remote computer system. The remote computer system may track the connected electronic products. The modular retail security system may also track and maintain the alarming status of the connected electronic products or the overall operational health of the modular pucks.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2019Publication date: August 15, 2019Inventors: Wade Wheeler, Robert Logan Blaser
