Abstract
A mounting device for attaching a device to an attachment object, including: a magnet portion on a magnet-retaining portion; a mount-attachment portion configured to attach to the attachment object, the mount-attachment portion including a ring-shaped cam defining a cam surface with a cam profile having a variable height; and a base portion defining a channel for receiving the ring-shaped cam and defining a central opening for receiving the magnet portion, the base portion rotatable relative to the mount-attachment portion and including a grip surface comprising a grip material. The magnet portion is received into the central opening of the base portion, the ring-shaped cam is received into the channel of the base portion, and a first end of the magnet-retaining portion is adjacent to the cam surface. Rotation of the base portion relative to the attachment portion causes an end of the magnet to move away from the grip surface.
