Mounting system for an electronic device
First Claim
1. A mounting system for an electronic device, the mounting system, comprising:
- a first portion associated with an electronic device, the first portion comprising;
a first face formed from an electrically insulating material;
a first central electrical contact on the first face;
a plurality of concave members on the first face;
a first plurality of radial electrical contacts each respectively disposed in one of the plurality of concave members and positioned around the central contact;
a first ferromagnetic member;
a second portion configured to mate with the first portion, the second portion comprising;
a second face formed from an electrically insulating material;
a second central electrical contact on the second face;
a first radial convex member on the second face;
a first radial electrical contact on the first radial convex member; and
a first magnetic member;
wherein magnetic attraction between the first magnetic member and the first ferromagnetic member substantially maintains the first and second central electrical contacts in an electrically conductive relationship.

Abstract
Disclosed is a mounting system for an electronic device includes a first portion associated with an electronic device and a second portion configured to mate with the first portion. The first portion includes a first face formed from an electrically insulating material, a first central electrical contact on the first face, a first plurality of radial electrical contacts on the first face and positioned around the central contact, a first ferromagnetic member. The second portion includes a second face formed from an electrically insulating material, a second central electrical contact on the second face, a first radial electrical contact on the second face, and a first magnetic member. Magnetic attraction between the first magnetic member and the first ferromagnetic member substantially maintains the first and second central electrical contacts in an electrically conductive relationship.
