The magnetic anchoring device comprises a magnet unit configured to generate a magnetic field to develop an attracting force between the magnet unit and the wall structure. The magnetic anchoring device further comprises a force generating device configured to engage the magnet unit, and to generate a test force in a predetermined direction between the magnet unit and the wall structure, and a force measuring device connected to the force generating device, and configured for measuring the test force. | 12-06-2012 |
| 20140014800 | Holster for displaying individual coin on vertical surface - Devices and methods for supporting a coin, such as a challenge coin, on a vertical surface. A device includes a backing member and a base attached to the backing member. The backing member can be suspended substantially vertically on the vertical surface, for example using attaching means. The base can be arcuate. The coin can be placed on the base, and thus be supported by the device on the vertical surface. A letter of promotion can be framed, and the device can be attached to a front glass surface of the frame. This way, a coin such as a challenge coin can be displayed together with the letter of promotion. | 01-16-2014 |
| 20140070066 | AJDUSTABLE HOLSTER FOR DISPLAYING COIN OF PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN DIAMETER ON VERTICAL SURFACE - Devices and methods tot supporting and displaying a coin, such as a challenge coin on a vertical surface. A device includes a backing member that can be suspended on the vertical surface, and has at least two slots. At least two prongs have bases for supporting the coin. The prongs can be inserted in the slots by an amount that adjusts for the previously unknown diameter of the coin. A letter of promotion can be framed, and the device can be attached to a front glass surface of the frame. This way, a coin can be displayed without occupying table space.
