摘要

Modular mounting systems for supportably engagement of one or more devices. The systems may include corresponding attachment members and carrier members for selective supportive engagement of one or more devices relative to a base. The attachment members and carrier members may be magnetically engageable. Various form factors for devices, base members, carrier members, attachment members, and other portions of the system are described.

主权项

1. A mounting apparatus for supporting a device in relation to a tubular support structure, the apparatus comprising:
a carrier member comprising a magnetic interconnect portion and a support structure engagement portion, wherein the interconnect portion is adapted for magnetic engagement with an attachment member that is operatively associable with a device for supportive contact of the device by the carrier member when engaged with the attachment member; and a strap extending from the carrier member and adapted for engagement of a tubular support structure to secure the support structure engagement portion to the tubular support structure; wherein the attachment member comprises a magnetic portion, at least one of the magnetic portion of the attachment member or the magnetic interconnect portion of the carrier member comprises at least one magnet, wherein magnetic interaction between respective ones of the magnetic portion of the attachment member and the magnetic interconnect portion of the carrier member is operable to selectively establish the supportive contact between the attachment member and the magnetic interconnect portion.
