| titleOfInvention | Magnetic docking apparatus and method for using the same |
| abstract | A magnetic docking apparatus includes a support member having an electromagnet attached thereto. The support member includes a fastener for attaching the magnetic docking apparatus to a vessel. The support member and the fastener cooperate to position the electromagnet external to the vessel. When the vessel is positioned proximate a docking point that includes a ferrous object, the magnetic docking apparatus is operable to energize the electromagnet. When energized the electromagnet creates a magnetic attraction between itself and the ferrous object, and the magnetic attraction causes the vessel to be held at the docking point. The electromagnet is also operable to be de-energized to release the vessel from the docking point. In another aspect of the present invention, a method includes attaching a magnetic docking apparatus to a vessel. The magnetic docking apparatus includes a support member having an electromagnet attached thereto. The vessel is positioned proximate a docking point that includes a ferrous object. The electromagnet is energized to create a magnetic attraction between itself and the ferrous object. The magnetic attraction causes the vessel to be held at the docking point. The electromagnet is de-energized to release the vessel from the docking point. |
