Abstract:
1. A mounting apparatus configured for mechanically associating an item to surfaces of a magnetically transparent support structure, said mounting apparatus comprising: a suction cup component having a concave suction cup structure defining a suction surface comprising a center point and configured to create a vacuum pressure with a first surface of said magnetically transparent support structure and an opposing outer surface wherein said suction surface and said opposing outer surface define a magnetic interface at said center point and wherein said outer surface defines a magnetic component receiver adjacent to said magnetic interface wherein said magnetic interface is a ferromagnetic or magnetically transparent ring around the center point; a first magnetic component associated with said magnetic component receiver and magnetically associated with said magnetic interface; a second magnetic component configured for being associated with a second surface of said magnetically transparent support structure wherein said second surface is adjacent to said first surface and is one of (a) a ferromagnetic block wherein at least two opposing ends are angled and (b) shaped to convey visual based information; and an item support interface configured to receive said item to be mechanically associated with said magnetically transparent support structure wherein said item support interface is mechanically associated with at least one of (a) said suction cup component and (b) said first magnetic component.
