Patent ID: 8816806

Claim:
A magnetically coupled system comprising a magnetically coupled device, the magnetically coupled device comprising: a first arrangement having a first plurality of magnets and a first mounting member disposed in a first housing, the first arrangement being attractable and alignable to a second arrangement having a second plurality of magnets and a second mounting member disposed in a second housing; the first mounting member and the second mounting member further include molded recesses configured for receiving the magnets; the first mounting member of the first arrangement being configured to detachably engage the second mounting member of the second arrangement in at least one predetermined orientation or position; and the first housing and the second housing including molded recesses configured for receiving the magnets and the first and second mounting members; wherein positioning of the first mounting member and the second mounting member substantially prevents a magnetic field generated from the first plurality of magnets and the second plurality of magnets from magnetically interfering with the operation of a magnetically sensitive device within a region that would otherwise be affected by the magnetic field; wherein the magnetically coupled device includes a magnetically sensitive component, wherein the first or second housing is attached by a bracket to a magnetically sensitive component.
