Abstract
A magnetic supporting device can include a body having a generally triangular shape with a magnet or set of magnets positioned in each corner of the bottom surface of the body. Because of its shape and the positioning of the magnets, the bottom surface of the body can be placed on uneven surfaces while still retaining contact between each magnet and the surface. In this way, the supporting device can be coupled to the surface with sufficient strength to allow many different items such as guns, fishing rods, and bows to be supported against or even hung vertically from the device. The supporting device can include a support structure that extends from a top surface of the supporting device. The support structure can form a number of channels and slots within which items such as guns and fishing rods can be placed. The magnetic nature of the device can also secure it to the hood of a vehicle for use as a rest while shooting a gun, or support optical devices such as cameras, scopes, and other attachable items.
