Title:
MAGNETIC-LOCK PANEL MOUNTING APPARATUS, SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/173746
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Magnetic-lock panel mounting assemblies allow mounting, dismounting, and reconfiguration of decorative architectural resin panels relative to a support structure in a quick and efficient manner. The magnetic-lock panel mounting assemblies can include a housing, a locking pin, a locking sleeve, and one or more locking elements. The housing can receive and selectively lock the locking pin therein. Placing a magnet proximate the magnetic-lock panel mounting assembly can automatically unlock the locking pin from the housing. In addition, implementations of the present invention include systems and methods for mounting panels to a support structures using one or more magnetic-lock panel mounting assemblies.
