More specifically, the method of accommodating the magnetic attraction portion 110A in the base portion 120A includes but is not limited to forging two base parts with internal accommodating spaces whose dimensions and shapes are corresponding to the magnetic attraction portion 110A, and combining these two base parts through joining means such as welding or locking after disposing the magnetic attraction portion 110A into the internal accommodating spaces to form a base portion 120A sheathing outside the magnetic attraction portion 110A. Otherwise, manufacturers can also form a base portion 120A with specific thickness by directly coating on the magnetic attraction portion 110A.
It is worth mentioning that the magnetic attraction portion 110A in this embodiment is a ring-shaped permanent magnet though, the type and material of the magnetic attraction portion 110A is not limited thereto. For example, in some embodiments, the magnetic attraction portion 110A may also be flaky or a bulk. In addition, besides the permanent magnet, an electro-magnet that generates magnetic field after powered up, or a ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic material that does not generate magnetic field itself but is passively attracted by an external magnetic field of the magnetic portion 22 may also be chosen to form the magnetic attraction portion 110A. On the other hand, besides metals and alloys, non-metallic materials such as plastic, rubber and wood may be chosen to manufacture the base portion 120A. Otherwise, leathers may be used to be directly wrapped on the outer surface of the magnetic attraction portion 110A to support and protect the magnetic attraction portion 110A.

On the other hand, the attachment 10B in the embodiments can provide various magnetic connection direction based on user's usage habit. Specifically, the base portion 120B of the magnetic attraction member 100B has a first side and a second side opposite to the first side. The first side is closer to the upper surface 22B, and a magnetic attraction portion accommodating space is formed on at least one of the first side and the second side. In the embodiments, take a magnetic attraction portion accommodating space 122B being formed on the first side, and a magnetic attraction portion accommodating space 124B being formed on the second side as an example. The number of the magnetic attraction portions 110B is corresponding to the number of the magnetic attraction portion accommodating spaces. In other words, the magnetic attraction portions 110B are disposed in both of the magnetic attraction portion accommodating space 122B and the magnetic attraction portion accommodating space 124B. By the arrangement, users can choose an attachment 10B with a first side having the magnetic attraction portion accommodating space 122B, or choose another attachment 10B with a second side having the magnetic attraction portion accommodating space 124B, or choose another attachment 10B with both sides respectively having a magnetic attraction portion accommodating space based on their usage habit. The mobile electronic device 2 can be freely magnetically connected to the magnetic attraction portion 110B disposed in the magnetic attraction portion accommodating space 122B closed to the lid 20B or the magnetic attraction portion accommodating space 124B away from the lid 20B, and the purchasing and using flexibility of the attachment 10B is enhanced.
In some embodiments, it is also possible to dispose magnetic attraction portion accommodating spaces on both of the first side and the second side of the magnetic attraction member 100B, but only a magnetic attraction portion 110B is arranged. In this case, user can engage the magnetic attraction portion 110B into the corresponding magnetic attraction portion accommodating space according to different needs. Moreover, the width of the top portion (the portion away from the bottom) of the magnetic attraction portion accommodating space may be designed slightly greater than the width of the magnetic attraction portion 110B, which facilities users to disassemble the magnetic attraction portion 110B. Besides, the height of side walls of the magnetic attraction portion accommodating space may be designed slightly greater than the thickness of the magnetic attraction portion 110B, or a bonded or tight fitting relationship is formed between the magnetic attraction portion accommodating space and the magnetic attraction portion 110B. Thereby, when the magnetic attraction portion 110B is engaged in the magnetic attraction portion accommodating space, even if the mobile electronic device 2 is magnetically attracted by the magnetic attraction portion 110B, the magnetic attraction portion 110B will not be pulled out from the magnetic attraction portion accommodating space, impact with the magnetic attraction portion 110B, or be difficult to separate from the magnetic attraction portion 110B due to mutual magnetic attraction, either.
In addition, the connecting structure 200B in the embodiments integrates a function for the magnetic attraction member 100B to rotate relative to the lid 20B and a function for the lid 20B to rotate relative to the body portion 30B. In the embodiments, the connecting structure 200B is exemplary to be a biaxial hinge, and the lid 20B includes an upper lid portion and a lower lid portion. The upper lid portion can selectively open or close relative to the lower lid portion, and the lower lid portion is pivotally disposed on the body portion 30B to seal the opening of the body portion 30B. On the other hand, the container 1B may further include a lid shaft 40B and a knob 50B. The lid shaft 40B may be disposed at a lower end of the biaxial hinge, the pivoting portion 130B is disposed at an upper end of the biaxial hinge, and the lid shaft 40B and knob 50B are disposed between the upper lid portion and the lower lid portion. By the arrangement, when needing to rotate the magnetic attraction member 100B to different position, user can make the magnetic attraction member 100B and the upper lid portion separated by relative rotation between the pivoting portion 130B and the connecting structure 200B. When user would like to have the food or drink in the container 1B, he or she can operate the knob 50B to rotate the lid shaft 40B, and the upper lid portion is opened as the lower lid portion is kept on the body portion 30B, instead of detaching the whole lid 20B from the body portion 30B. The magnetic connection relationship between the magnetic attraction member 100B and the mobile electronic device 2 is also maintained. In other words, the container 1B can integrate rotations of two different components in a single connecting structure 200B so as to decrease complexity of the mechanism and an extra volume occupied with respect to the lid 20B and the body portion 30B. In some embodiments, the connecting structure 200B may further include a position limiting portion 230B. The position limiting portion 230B is exemplary to be an incline and disposed adjacent to the pivoting portion 130B. Thereby, when the magnetic attraction member 100B is rotated downward and far away from the lid 20B to a certain degree, the position limiting portion 230B will abut against the pivoting portion 130B and restrict the stroke of rotation of the magnetic attraction member 100B. In other words, the position limiting portion 230B can selectively abut against the magnetic attraction member 100B to limit the magnetic attraction member 100B.

By the arrangement, when the magnetic attraction member 100B rotates relative to the lid 20B through the connecting structure 200B, the fixing portion 242B is kept fixed due to the engagement of the positioning portion 222B, and the rotating portion 244B will rotate synchronously with the pivoting feature 132B and relative to the fixing portion 242B. Because of the damping media such as torsion spring and damping fluid disposed between the fixing portion 242B and the rotating portion 244B, not only is the rotating force buffered by the damping member 240B to be reduced as it is too much, but the damping member 240B further keeps the magnetic attraction member 100B at a specific position based on a damping force generated by relative rotation between the fixing portion 242B and the rotating portion 244B as user stop the rotating. However, in some embodiments, the damping member 240B may be also configured to automatically relocate the magnetic attraction member 100B to the first position P1 when user detaches the mobile electronic device 2. It is not limited by the embodiments.

Specifically, the base portion 120D also has two extending arms 126D, and the positioning magnetic attraction portions 140D are respectively disposed on one of the extending arms 126D. By the arrangement, user can locate the positioning feature 24 to a suitable positioning magnetic attraction portion 140D based on the usage need of the mobile electronic device 2 (e.g., a filming angle or a viewpoint of video) to increase the using flexibility of the mobile electronic device 2. It is worth mentioning that the two extending arms 126D and the two positioning magnetic attraction portions 140D are exemplary to be disposed at opposite positions of the magnetic attraction member 100D in the embodiments (i.e., they are separated by 180 degrees), it is not limited thereto. According to actual usage needs, the number of the extending arms 126D and the positioning magnetic attraction portions 140D may also be three, four or more, and their positions are not necessary to be equal spaced. In other words, they may be centralized on the upper half portion of the magnetic attraction member 100D.
Furthermore, in some embodiments, the magnetic attraction portions 110D may be disposed on both of the first side and the second side of the base portion 120D. Meanwhile, a positioning magnetic attraction portion 140D is disposed on the first side of the extending arm 126D at the right side in

Specifically, the container 1E is exemplary to be a sport bottle. When user is using, he or she can directly open the top cover of the lid 20E to have the water or the drink in the bottle. Therefore, it is not necessary for the connecting structure 200E to simultaneously integrate rotations of the magnetic attraction member 100E and the lid 20E. Besides, in comparison of the container 1B, the connecting structure 200E does not have the positioning portion but extends outside in the radial direction of the lid 20E. In the embodiments, the connecting structure 200E may flush with the upper surface 22E. Thereby, the rotation range of the magnetic attraction member 100E is from the top of the top cover to the vertically downward direction as shown in
Besides, as shown in

Like the container 1E, the connecting structure 200F does not have the positioning portion, either. Consequently, the rotation of the magnetic attraction member 100F can be from zero degree to 180 degrees of the upper surface 22F. Moreover, when user does not need to fix the mobile electronic device 2, the magnetic attraction member 100F can be directly pulled as a handle for picking up the container 1F, which increases the convenience in carrying of the container 1F. It is worth mentioning that the application of the handle is also adapted for the magnetic attraction member with at least a portion of ring-shaped structure in the previous or the following embodiments. Besides, in the embodiments, the connecting structure 200F is slightly biased from the center of the upper surface 22F, but it is not limited by the embodiments.
