A device for attachment to a surface of a ferromagnetic object and for holding an item near the surface, including: a base with a frame and grip portion, the grip portion coupled to the frame at the rear side and having an outer surface for gripping the surface; a magnet-retaining portion pivotally connected to an end of the frame; a magnetic device connected to the magnet-retaining portion and having an outer surface displaced frontwardly from the outer surface of the grip portion; a cover pivotally connected to another end of the frame, the cover including a lifter configured to contact an end of the magnet-retaining portion and cause an end of the magnet-retaining portion to pivot about the frame when the cover is lifted and the lifter is rotated, thereby moving the first end of the magnet-retaining portion and the magnetic device in a rear-to-front direction; and an item-holding portion.

Detachable magnet device

Devices for detachable attachment to a ferromagnetic object and/or surface are disclosed. The device may comprise a core housing defining a pocket, a magnet disposed in the pocket, and a baseplate fixed to the magnet sheet assembly. The baseplate may include a pivot portion that engages a corresponding portion of the core housing to form a hinge joint such that the baseplate and the magnetic sheet assembly selectively pivot about a pivot axis of the hinge joint relative to the core housing. The camming mechanism may apply a camming force to a portion of the baseplate and the camming force may urge the magnet and the baseplate to pivot about the pivot axis of the hinge joint.
