Abstract: An apparatus includes a support structure and a leaf spring connector coupled to the support structure. The leaf spring connector has a working height measured from a first surface of the two-sided support structure to a mating surface of the leaf spring connector when the leaf spring connector is in a compressed position. The leaf spring connector is mounted below the first surface of the support structure in order to reduce the working height of the leaf spring connector by at least a portion of a thickness of the support structure.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed at least partly to reducing an acceleration of a magnet when a magnet is moved toward an attracting object. An apparatus may include a dampening mechanism to dissipate kinetic energy of the magnet as it traverses within a housing from a first position to a second position. The housing may be at least partially coupled to another surface as a result of a magnetic attraction when the magnet is located in the second position. The dampening mechanism may include use of a fluid and/or gas that is displaced by the magnet to slow acceleration of the magnet as the magnet traverses between the first position and the second position. In some embodiments, the dampening mechanism may be implemented using threads that cause rotation of the magnet or by rollers that slow acceleration of the magnet.

Abstract translation: 本公开内容至少部分地涉及当磁体朝向吸引物体移动时减小磁体的加速度。 一种装置可以包括阻尼机构，用于当磁体在壳体内从第一位置移动到第二位置时消散磁体的动能。 当磁体位于第二位置时，由于磁吸引力，壳体可以至少部分地联接到另一个表面。 阻尼机构可以包括当磁体在第一位置和第二位置之间移动时使用由磁体移位的流体和/或气体来减慢磁体的加速度。 在一些实施例中，阻尼机构可以使用导致磁体或通过减慢磁体加速度的辊的旋转的螺纹来实现。
