US Patent 10134517 Self-aligning, multi-surface magnetic mount for electronic display devices

A mounting system for mounting an electronic display device, such as an electronic display device, to various surfaces including nonferrous and nonmagnetic surfaces is provided. In one implementation, the mounting system includes a surface-side attachment affixed to a surface, and a device-side attachment coupled to the electronic display device. The surface-side attachment and the device-side attachment include a plurality of magnets with at least one magnet with an outwardly-facing north pole and at least one magnet with an outwardly-facing south pole per attachment that self-aligns the attachments when mounting the electronic display device to the surface. The surface-side attachment and the device-side attachment may further include mechanical features and/or high friction faces to resist slipping and shear forces when the attachments are coupled together.
