Abstract

A magnetic surface mounting apparatus used for hanging items is described. The apparatus has several parts that can assemble and disassemble easily. The magnet housed in a magnetic case is surrounded by a boot. The boot is designed so the user can easily dislodge the magnet from the surface using the safety handle. The hanger is attached to the boot using the swivel pin. This apparatus can be used to hang working tools in a building or construction area or any area where several people use common tools and want ease of access and less clutter. It can be used in many sites and prevent health and safety hazards.

Claims

1. A magnetic surface mount apparatus, comprising:

a boot is made up of a non-conductive material to enclose a magnet case, an upper small locking tab, a lower big locking tab, an angular spacer having a serrated surface, a ribbed surface to be used as a safety handle, a hollow center and a flexible lower hollow gripping area to remove the magnetic surface mount apparatus from a surface that a magnet can attach itself;

the magnet case to enclose the magnet and housed on to the boot and secured by a screw that fastens to the back of the boot and in the front is attached to a swivel pin;

the swivel pin made of a stainless steel material to be housed on a pivot point curved structure of a hanger having a center hole to house a screw that secures the magnet via a bolt through the magnet that is attached to the boot; and

the hanger having an angular shape to have a back surface that is perpendicular to the surface that the magnet attached itself and a second forked surface that is away from the surface that the magnet attached itself to hang an item from it.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the second forked surface has inundation and has a wide fork and a narrow fork to accommodate different types of items to be supported from them.

3. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising:

the hanger having a front weight transfer point to receive the lower big locking tab of the boot and a back transfer point to receive the upper small locking tab of the boot so it can be used as a weight transfer point and lock the apparatus while in use.

4. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising:

a data plate to be attached to the hanger made up of luminous material for displaying signs for guidance and identification of a place and the item.

5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the magnet case has a protrusion to house a head of the screw.

6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the magnet case is smaller in diameter than the boot and made up of low friction material for smooth operation.

7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the swivel pin can hold the weight up to 300 pounds.

8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the magnet can hold the item that weighs between 1-230 pounds.

9. A magnetic surface mount apparatus, comprising:

a boot is made up of a non-conductive material to enclose a magnet case, an upper small locking tab, a lower big locking tab, an angular spacer having a serrated surface, a ribbed surface to be used as a safety handle, a hollow center and a flexible lower hollow gripping area to remove the magnetic surface mount apparatus from a surface that a magnet enclosed in the magnet case to attach itself;

the magnet case to enclose the magnet and housed on to the boot and secured by a screw that fastens to the back of the boot and in the front is attached to a swivel pin;

the swivel pin made of a stainless steel material to be housed on a pivot point curved structure of a hanger having a center hole to house a screw that secures the magnet case to the boot;

the hanger having an angular shape made up of non-conductive material to have a back surface that is perpendicular to the surface that the magnet attached itself and a second forked surface that is away from the surface that the magnet attached itself having inundation to prevent the item from falling off; and

the hanger having a front weight transfer point to receive and lock into the lower big locking tab of the boot in one orientation and a back transfer point to receive the upper small locking tab of the boot in another orientation so it can be used as a weight transfer point and lock the apparatus while in use.

10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the apparatus can be configured in several ways by rotating the hanger and locking it to the lower big locking tab and the upper small locking tab of the boot.

11. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the item comprises of a tool, wire, extension cord, bicycles, and fire extinguisher.

12. A magnetic surface mount apparatus, comprising:

a boot enclosing a magnetic encasing enclosing a magnet, attached to a hanger by a steel pin, wherein the hanger has at least one of a wide fork and a narrow fork to hang an item.

13. The apparatus of claim 12, further comprising:

the boot is made up of a non-conductive material to enclose a magnet case, an upper small locking tab, a lower big locking tab, an angular spacer having a serrated surface, a ribbed surface to be used as a safety handle, a hollow center and a flexible lower hollow gripping area to remove the magnetic surface mount apparatus from a surface that a magnet enclosed in the magnet case to attach itself.

14. The apparatus of claim 13, further comprising:

the hanger having a front weight transfer point to receive and lock into the lower big locking tab of the boot in one orientation and a back transfer point to receive the upper small locking tab of the boot in another orientation so it can be used as a weight transfer point and lock the apparatus while in use.

15. The apparatus of claim 14, further comprising:

a swivel pin made of a stainless steel material to be housed on a pivot point curved structure of the hanger having a center hole to house a screw that secures the magnet case to the boot.
