Definitions
- the present invention relates to magnetic utility apparatuses. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention relate to adhering and releasing items using magnetic apparatuses.
- Typical apparatuses for adhering or releasing items from surfaces require two-handed operation, for example, using one hand to release and hold the apparatus and the other hand to hold the items being placed or released.
- Apparatuses may be operated using one handed operation, however, such operation may require relatively complex multi-step one-handed operation, for example, using one side of a hand to release and hold the apparatus and the other side of the hand to simultaneously hold the items being placed or released.
- a magnetic apparatus may enable, for example, relatively simple or easy one-handed operation.
- such an apparatus may be used by people with disabilities preventing them from using both hands.
- an apparatus for adhering or releasing items which can be relatively simply operated by one hand, for example, while the other hand is concurrently utilized for another purpose.
- an apparatus may be needed that enables easy and rapid clipping of a paper on to a metal or magnetic surface using one hand, in such a way that the items being held or clipped are prevented from falling off the metal or magnetic surface.
- one or more rockable magnetic apparatuses to enable adhesion and releasing of elements to or from, for example, a metal or magnetic surface.
- the apparatus may include a rigid body, magnets, and sides or portions of the body that meet at a base having an angle greater than 180°.
- an apparatus may be provided that enables single action operation, and may prevent the falling of the magnetic apparatus and/or the items being held by it when attaching or detaching items.
- the apparatus may have flexible or detachable body sides. Two or more apparatuses may be used in combination, to hold items to a surface or between the apparatuses.
- Figs. 1A-1C illustrate various views of an example of a rockable magnetic clip, according to some embodiments of the present invention
- FIGs. 2A and 2B are illustrations of a rockable magnetic clip apparatus with a magnet on a single side of the apparatus, according to some embodiments of the present invention
- Figs. 3A and 3B are illustrations of a rockable magnetic clip apparatus with multiple sides, according to some embodiments of the present invention.
- Figs. 4A and 4B are illustrations of a rockable magnetic clip apparatus with a foldable side, according to some embodiments of the present invention.
- Figs. 5A-5C are illustrations of a peg-like magnetic apparatus, according to some embodiments of the present invention.
- Fig. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a method for adhering and/or releasing items to a metal or magnetic surface.
- Embodiments of the present invention may enable implementation or usage of a rockable apparatus that may include one or more magnets.
- a rockable apparatus may include one or more magnets.
- Such an apparatus may be attached to a metal or other surface by pressing at least one part of the apparatus and thereby adhering and/or releasing item(s) to/from the metal or magnetically attractive surface, without the need of disconnecting the apparatus from the metal or magnetic surface.
- Such an apparatus may enable, for example, one-hand or single action attachment of items such as paper sheets, photographs, bills, folders, pens, pads, disks, etc. to surfaces such as fridges, other magnets, memo boards etc.
- a rockable magnetic apparatus may adhere to elements or surfaces made of, for example, steel, iron, nickel, cobalt, gadolinium, or other suitable materials.
- Such an apparatus may enable simple, optionally one-handed or single action detachment of items such as paper sheets, photographs, bills, files, folders etc. to surfaces such as fridges, other magnets, memo boards etc., without causing the magnetic apparatus to fall, by a one process pulling movement of the item away from the surface.
- the phrases "one-handed”, “single-action” and the like, as used herein, may refer to operations requiring relatively simple coordination, such that one handed operation, or operations using substantially simple and single actions at a time, may implement the relevant operations.
- Figs. 1A-1C are schematic diagrams illustrating views of a rockable apparatus 10, according to some embodiments of the present invention.
- the body of rockable apparatus 10 may be rigid and constructed of material 11 such as, for example, plastic, wood, paper, metal, glass, rubber, fiberglass, polycarbonate, ABS and any other suitable material or combinations of materials.

- Other magnet and/or press zone forms, shapes, and sizes may be used.
- Figs. 2A and 2B As can be seen in Figs. 2A and 2B, according to some embodiments of the present invention, not all portions 17, 18 are provided with magnet 16.
- magnet 16 may not be provided on portion 17 of apparatus 10, to provide mono-stable behavior of apparatus 20 on a surface.
- Such an embodiment may enable usage of apparatus 20, for example, to adhere an item to a surface between the surface and one side 18 of apparatus 20.
- side 18 Upon release of side 18, by, for example, pressing on a pressing zone 22 on side 17, side 18 may automatically re-adhere to the surface upon release of pressing zone 22 on side 17.
- apparatus 30 may be provided with a plurality of sides or portions. As can be seen with reference to Figs. 3A and 3B, each portion or side of apparatus 30 may optionally have at least one area 31, such as a hole, cavity or gap, etc., where magnet 36 may be attached.
- apparatus 20 may be formed with four sides or portions that meet at a base 38, base 38 providing an angle of orientation between two or more sides of more than 180 degrees. Any angle between the portions may be provided such that a rocking motion or clicking operation is enabled.

- an item e.g., primary attachment
- Operation 62 may be enabled without any pressing or releasing action of an apparatus portion or side, due to an opening between the surface and apparatus 10, due to the angle separating the non-pressed portion of the apparatus and the surface. Additionally, the magnetic force of one or more of the magnets may enable primary attachment of an item to the surface, without acting on the magnets by, for example, pressing on the apparatus sides.
- a user may implement an additional attachment (e.g., secondary attachment) of the item to the surface, by pressing on a second portion or side of apparatus 10, which was previously raised above the surface. Such a press may, for example, attach or magnetically bond the pressed side or portion of the apparatus to the surface, thereby attaching the item to the surface.
- a user may detach or release an item attached to a surface, and may thereby release the previously attached portion of the apparatus, by pulling the item away from the surface.
- Operation 64 may cause the apparatus portion that is currently attached to the surface to release, enabling release of the item.
- Operation 64 may in parallel cause the previously un-pressed portion of the apparatus to magnetically attach to the surface, thereby bonding the apparatus to the surface, such that apparatus may remain on surface, without being manually held (e.g., the apparatus may not fall down) when operation 64 is implemented.
- a user may detach or release an item attached to a surface, by pressing on a pressing zone to release an item from being held between a magnet and a surface. Upon releasing the magnet and the surface, a user may remove an item previously held by the previously attached portion of the apparatus.
- the above adhering and/or releasing operations may be executed using a one step action, thereby enabling operation by users with limited facilities or capabilities, or someone who has only one hand currently available. Any combination of the above steps may be implemented. Further, other steps or series of steps may be used.
