[0036] The following are embodiments of the present invention, revealing examples of its implementation in specific embodiments. However, the description itself is not intended to limit the scope of rights granted by this patent. Rather, it should be understood that the claimed invention may also be implemented in other ways that incorporate different elements and conditions, or combinations of elements and conditions similar to those described herein, in combination with other existing and future technologies.

[0037] In Fig. 1, by way of example and not limitation, one exemplary embodiment of the inventive bracket 100 is shown. Preferably, without limitation, in one embodiment, the inventive bracket 100 is a parallelepiped with one side facing a vertical surface 300, such as, for example, but not limited to, a wall of a room or building, a pole, and the like, wherein the surface 300 contains sufficient space to securely accommodate the bracket 100 on the surface 300. In this case, for example, without limitation, the bracket 100 can be secured to the surface 300 by any suitable method known or that becomes known in the future that ensures a sufficiently secure connection of the bracket 100 to the surface 300, such as, for example, but not limited to, a threaded connection, such as, for example, but not limited to, an anchor and / or threaded and / or screw connection, and also, without limitation, gluing, welding and the like. In addition, for example, without limitation, when the surface 300 is made of a ferromagnet or contains a ferromagnetic region, the bracket 100 can be provided on the reverse side with an additional magnetic element (not shown in the drawing) for a reliable connection with the ferromagnetic surface 300 or its ferromagnetic part. For example, without limitation, a section of soft iron (magnetic wallpaper) and the like can be fixed as a ferromagnetic region on the surface 300. In this case, without limitation, for fixing the bracket 100 to the surface 300 by means of an anchor or threaded connection, the bracket 300 can be provided with corresponding holes through which the bracket 100 is fastened to the surface by means of a screw, including a self-tapping screw.In the case of a welded joint, the bracket 100, for example, but not limited to, is made of metal, or at least comprises a metal base (not shown in the drawing) of sufficient thickness, suitable for forming a welded joint with the metal surface 300 or a metal section of the surface 300. In the case of gluing, for example, but not limited to, the bracket 100 has an adhesive base on the back (not shown in the drawing), for example, but not limited to, in the form of double-sided adhesive tape, and the surface 300 is selected such that sufficient adhesion of the adhesive base of the adhesive tape to the surface 300 is ensured; in addition, without limitation, the bracket 100 can be made of a material or have a base (not shown in the drawing), the adhesion of which to the adhesive used for gluing approximately corresponds to the adhesion of the same adhesive to the surface 300.Thus, without being limited, the fastening of the bracket 100 to the surface 300 may be accomplished by any suitable known or future known method, which, accordingly, will not be described in further detail below. In this case, it should be primarily assumed that the bracket 100, when fastened to the surface 300, necessarily forms a protrusion. In this case, without being limited, the protrusion may be formed either directly by the body of the bracket 100 or by some part protruding from the body (not shown in the drawing). In this case, preferably, without being limited, the bracket 100 comprises, and thus the formed protrusion comprises, at least one magnetic element 101, which is the main magnetic element of the bracket 100.Preferably, without limitation, the magnetic element 101 does not occupy the entire surface of the formed protrusion, but is placed in such a way that a reliable magnetic connection is ensured with the counter ferromagnetic element 201 in the recess 202 of the device 200, which will be described in detail below, but at the same time the possibility of shifting the ferromagnetic element 201 is ensured. relative to the magnetic element 101, in order to ensure their quick and convenient separation; while not being limited, this is mainly due to the fact that the breaking force of the magnetic connection is much higher than the shear force, which is especially relevant when using a powerful magnet as the magnetic element 101, such as, for example, but not limited to, a neodymium magnet, which will inevitably require the provision of a shear for separation.

[0038] In Fig. 2, by way of example and not limitation, one exemplary embodiment of a device 200 connected to a bracket 100 is shown. Preferably, without being limited, such device 200 is substantially of any suitable shape or size, the choice of which is determined mainly by the provided strength and reliability of the magnetic connection, as well as the strength and reliability of the connection of the bracket 100 with the surface 300. Moreover, without being limited, in such an embodiment, the device 200 is not predominantly flat, that is, at least the thickness of the protruding part of which above the projection formed by the bracket 100 from the surface 300 is at least twice the thickness of such formed projection. Moreover, without being limited, the shape of such device 200 is mainly determined by its purpose.

[0039] In Fig. 3, by way of example and not limitation, another exemplary embodiment of the device 200 connected to the bracket 100 is shown. Preferably, without limitation, in such another embodiment, the device 200 is predominantly flat, that is, at least the thickness of the protruding portion of which above the projection formed by the bracket 100 from the surface 300 does not exceed the thickness of such formed projection by more than twice. Moreover, without limitation, the shape of such device 200 is also primarily determined by its purpose.

[0040] In Fig. 4, by way of example, but not limitation, embodiments of the connection of the bracket 100 and the device 200 are shown. As will be shown below, the device 200 can comprise a recess 202, in which the projection formed by the bracket 100 is accommodated. In this case, without limitation, it is mainly possible to provide two embodiments of the connection. In the first embodiment, without limitation, as shown in the left part of Fig. 4, the device 200 is put on in a horizontal direction by the recess 202 towards the surface 300 on the projection formed by the bracket 100; in this case, the recess 202 in the device 200 is accordingly made in such a way that it has all walls and does not allow the device 200 to shift relative to the bracket 100 in any direction. Accordingly, without limitation, in order to disconnect the device 200 and the bracket 100, it is necessary to at least rotate the device 200 along perpendicular to the surface 300 of the axis, as will be shown below, due to which the said shift will be carried out. In the second variant, without limitation, as shown in the right part of Fig. 4, it is ensured that the device 200 is put on with the recess 202 in the horizontal or vertical direction parallel to the surface 300 on the projection formed by the bracket 100; wherein the recess 202 in the device 200, accordingly, is made in such a way that it does not have one of the walls and allows the displacement of the device 200 relative to the bracket 100 in the direction of the missing wall. Accordingly, without limitation, in order to disconnect the device 200 and the bracket 100, it is necessary to at least shift the device 200 in the direction opposite to the missing wall, that is, if the wall of the recess 202 is missing from below, then the device 200 should be shifted upward, and the like, due to which the said shift will be carried out. In Fig.5, by way of example and not limitation, an approximate manner in which the bracket 100 is placed in the recess 202 of the device 200 is shown. However, without limitation, although not shown in the drawing, it should be obvious to a person skilled in the art, having ordinary knowledge, for whom the present invention is intended, that it is not necessary for the rear wall of the device 200, as such, to contain the recess 202, but a base may be formed in the device 200, which will contain a suitable recess 202.

[0041] In this case, it should be obvious to a person skilled in the art, possessing ordinary knowledge, for whom the present invention is intended, that when the recess 202 repeats the shape and size of the bracket 100, and, moreover, the bracket 100 has corners, then the shift by rotation will be difficult or even impossible. In Fig. 6, by way of example, but not limitation, another exemplary embodiment of the claimed bracket 100 is shown. In contrast to that previously discussed with reference to Fig. 1, the embodiment of the bracket 100 with reference to Fig. 6, at least, is not made in the form of a rectangle, as was shown with reference to Fig. 1. Such a bracket 100 according to Fig. 6 is connected to the device 200 in the same way as was shown with reference to Fig. 5 (left part), and in its functionality it differs only in that the shape and size are selected so as to ensure the possibility of rotation of the recess 202 around the protrusion formed by the bracket 100.In this case, without limitation, such a bracket 100 may be additionally provided with a positioning means, for example, a small-sized recess in the surface of the bracket 100, into which a counter small-sized protrusion falls, formed on the surface of the recess 202 in contact with the surface of the bracket 100 (not shown in the drawing); such a positioning means may be used for the precise placement of the device 200. relative to surface 300. Fig. 7, by way of example and not limitation, shows one exemplary embodiment of a substantially flat device 200 connected to bracket 100 of Fig. 6. Fig. 8, by way of example and not limitation, shows an exemplary embodiment of shifting metal member 201 (not shown in this drawing) relative to magnetic member 101 in the embodiment of device 200 with reference to Fig. 7 using bracket 100 of Fig. 6. Fig. 9, by way of example and not limitation, shows an exemplary embodiment of shifting ferromagnetic member 201 (not shown in this drawing) relative to magnetic member 101 in another embodiment of device 200 using bracket 100 of Fig. 6.

[0042] In Fig. 10, by way of example, but not limitation, a rear view is shown for two exemplary embodiments of the device 200 intended for use with the bracket 100 of Fig. 1. In this case, without limitation, as was indicated earlier, the shape of the device 200 is not essential, since its choice can be determined by the purpose of the device, but in this case the rear part of the device 200 or the rear part of the base of the device 200 contains a recess 202 in which a ferromagnetic element 201 is placed, which is a counter for the magnetic element 101. Such a recess 202, although the section is not shown in the drawing, obviously does not have one of the walls and thus provides, at least, the possibility of shifting the ferromagnetic element 201 relative to the magnetic element 101 in a horizontal or vertical direction parallel to the surface 300;in this case, it should be obvious to a person skilled in the art, possessing ordinary knowledge, for whom the present invention is intended, that if the size of the bracket 100 allows it, then the shift can be ensured by rotating the recess 202 around the protrusion formed by the bracket 100;it should be obvious to a person skilled in the art, having ordinary knowledge, for whom the present invention is intended, that the device 200 can be placed on two or more brackets 100, which may be determined by the size of the device 200, and it should be assumed that such brackets 100 should be placed on the surface 300 coaxially in such a way as to ensure a simultaneous shift of all ferromagnetic elements 201 relative to all corresponding magnetic elements 101. Fig. 11, by way of example, but not limitation, shows a rear view of two exemplary embodiments of the device 200 intended for use with the bracket 100 according to the embodiment with reference to Fig. 6. In contrast to what was said with reference to Fig. 10, the recesses 202 in this case have all walls and are essentially circular or of such a shape as to ensure a shift of the ferromagnetic element 201 relative to the magnetic element 101; solely by rotating the recess 202 around the projection formed by the bracket 100.

[0043] Moreover, it should be obvious to a person skilled in the art, possessing ordinary knowledge, for whom the present invention is intended, that the magnetic element 101 and the ferromagnetic element 201 can be swapped, that is, that the device 200 will contain the magnetic element 101, and, accordingly, the bracket 100 will contain the ferromagnetic element 201. Moreover, without limitation, the device 200 can be made with its own magnetic element, and the magnetic element 101 remains in the bracket 100, and such magnetic elements are of opposite signs, which ensures their attraction to each other and can provide a more reliable connection than the “magnet-ferromagnet” connection.

[0046] In this case, without being limited, the electronic device 200 may be selected from or may be formed from any combination of: an acoustic device 200, a lighting device 200, an IoT device 200, and an image output device 200. In this case, without being limited, the acoustic device 200 thus further comprises at least a sound output means, such as, for example, but not limited to, a speaker, the use of which for sound output is widely known in the prior art and, accordingly, is not further described in detail. In this case, without being limited, the lighting device 200 thus further comprises at least a light source, such as, for example, but not limited to, an LED light source or the like, the use of which for illumination is widely known in the prior art and, accordingly, is not further described in detail.In this case, without being limited, the IoT device 200 thus further comprises at least a receiver and a transmitter configured to transmit a control signal; in this case, it should mainly be assumed that the IoT device 200 for the bracket 100 can be both a repeater and a hub, or can be provided with the functions of a hub, that is, for example, without being limited, the memory can include program code for generating a control signal for other devices in the IoT system in response to a received identification signal; in this case, the principles of organizing IoT systems are widely known from the level. technology and, accordingly, are not described in further detail. Moreover, without limitation, the image output device 200 thus further comprises at least a display, the use of which for image output is widely known in the art and, accordingly, is not described in further detail.

[0047] In this case, without being limited, one or any combination of a two-dimensional graphic code, such as, for example, a quick response code (QR code), or a barcode, or an RFID tag, can be selected as the passive identification means of the bracket. In this case, depending on which passive identification means is used in the bracket 100, the electronic device 200 includes a corresponding suitable reader 203. For example, without being limited, when a two-dimensional graphic code is selected as the passive identification means of the bracket 100, the reader 203 can be a laser scanner or a video scanner, which in themselves are widely known in the prior art and, accordingly, are not described in detail below. For example, without being limited, when an RFID tag is selected as the passive identification means of the bracket 100, the reader 203 can be, for example, an NFC module,which in itself is widely known from the prior art and, accordingly, is not described in detail further. Preferably, without being limited to, the reader 203 interacts with the corresponding passive identification means at the moment of formation of the magnetic connection. In this case, without being limited to, for example, an electric key can be provided for this purpose, the operation of which occurs at the moment of formation of the magnetic connection, and thus ensures the operation of the reader 203; or a means for positioning the electronic device 200 in space can be provided, such as, for example, but not limited to, a gyroscope, a certain position of which signals the need to activate the reader 203 and corresponds to the position of the electronic device 200 in the position in which the magnetic connection is formed; or, as part of the bracket 100, it can additionally be provided, for example, but not limited to,a power source connected to the electrical network for the power element of the electronic device 200, for which purpose electrical contacts may be provided on the surface of the bracket 100 for creating an electrical connection when forming a magnetic connection, for which purpose, for example, without limitation, counter electrical contacts connected to a power controller may also be provided in the recess 202; when forming an electrical connection, not only can the capacity of the power elements of the electronic device 200 be replenished from the electrical network, but a signal for triggering the reader can also be generated, 203. It should be obvious to a person skilled in the art, possessing ordinary knowledge, for whom the present invention is intended, that the electronic device necessarily has one or more power elements, such as batteries (electric battery), including disposable and / or rechargeable batteries and / or electric energy accumulators, i.e., the presence of a power element in the electronic device 200 is immanent.
