Foldable phone support and advertising method
A foldable phone support is provided as a flat sheet of card stock and is marked or perforated with a template which is removed from the flat sheet then folded into a 3-dimensional structure having a horizontally-extending base portion and a vertically-extending back portion. The base portion has two arms (wings), and features may be provided on the top edges of the base portion to inhibit or prevent the phone from sliding off of the support. Three-sided and four-sided supports are disclosed.
Instrument hanger
An apparatus for hanging an instrument includes a wall plate, an axial arm, and a yoke. The wall plate is configured to secure the apparatus to a wall or other suitable surface. The axial arm extends axially between the wall plate and the yoke. The yoke is configured to receive at least a portion of an instrument. The apparatus also includes a humidistat disposed on a surface of the wall plate opposite the wall or other suitable surface. The humidistat is configured to display a relative humidity value corresponding to an amount of water vapor in the atmosphere proximate the instrument.
SUPPORT DEVICE FOR THE REMOVABLE ATTACHMENT THEREOF TO A WOODEN OBJECT
A supporting device is disclosed for the removable attachment thereof to a wooden object such as a tree trunk that avoids the insertion into the wooden object of a metallic fastener that could later damage machinery used while processing the wooden object. The supporting device includes a support plate having a first face and a second face and a first and a second edge. The support plate defines a plurality of apertures, each aperture of the plurality of apertures extending between the first and the second face of the support plate. A plurality of legs are provided with each leg having a first and a second extremity. Each leg threadably cooperates with a corresponding aperture of the plurality of apertures. A plurality of feet are provided with each foot being attached to a corresponding second extremity of each leg such that in use of the supporting device, the plurality of feet abut against the wooden object for supporting, stabilizing and spacing the support plate relative to the wooden object. The support plate further defines a first slot and a second slot spaced from the first slot with each of the slots extending from the first face to the second face. An elongate flexible strap has a first termination and a second termination such that in use of the supporting device, the flexible strap extends through the first slot and the second slot of the support plate. A tensioning fastener attached to the flexible strap includes a first portion secured to the first termination of the flexible strap. A second portion is attached to the flexible strap between the second termination of the flexible strap and the first portion of the tensioning fastener. The arrangement is such that in use of the supporting device, the flexible strap loops around the wooden object and the first portion of the tensioning fastener cooperates with the second portion of the tensioning fastener for selectively tensioning the flexible strap. The flexible strap extending between the first slot and the second slot of the support plate is disposed between the support plate and the wooden object
Device Mount for Supporting a Computing Device
One embodiment of a device mount orients a display device. The device mount comprises a backplate with a first surface for removably coupling the display device and a bottom plate having a first surface coupling an input mechanism. An upper support panel couples to a second surface of the backplate and the bottom plate. The upper support panel rotates about a first hinge and a second hinge to support the backplate as the backplate is raised relative to the bottom plate. A lower support panel couples to a second surface of the backplate and the bottom plate. As the backplate is raised relative to the bottom plate, the lower support panel rotates about a third hinge and a fourth hinge and the backplate rotates about the third hinge away from a first face of the lower support panel to rest against a second face of the lower support panel.
EXTENDING GRIPPING SOCKET SYSTEM
An extending gripping socket system includes an extending gripping socket attached to a base section. The extending gripping socket includes a semi-conical shape and is configured to extend and retract in relation to the base section. The base section includes a fastener section for securing the extending gripping socket system to a host electronic device. The base section further includes a charging port and an integrated wireless charger configured to provide power to and recharge the host electronic device. The extending gripping socket system provides wireless charging and an extendable hand grip for assisting a user with gripping and securely holding the host electronic device, such as a smartphone, during use.
Security apparatus
A security apparatus for a portable electronic device comprises at least one support member comprising opposing side surfaces and a plurality of support member surface features. At least one of the opposing side surfaces comprises a first engagement structure. One of the at least two arms comprises a second engagement structure configured to slidably engage the first engagement structure allowing movement in a first direction and opposing second direction. At least one locking assembly is positioned on at least one of the at least two arms and comprises a plurality of lock surface features configured to couple to the plurality of support member surface features. In a locked position, the at least one of the at least two arms is enabled to slide in the first direction. In an unlocked position, the at least one of the at least two arms is enabled to slide in the second direction.
SECURITY APPARATUS FOR THE FUNCTIONAL DISPLAY OF PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES
A security apparatus for securing a portable electronic device comprises a support and a guide positioned within the support and defining a plurality of surface features. At least two holders are partially positioned between the guide and the support and define a plurality of complimentary surface features. A lock assembly is configured move between an unlocked state and a locked state. In an unlocked state, the at least two holders are enabled to move in a first direction that is away from the support and in an opposing second direction to move the at least two holders towards the support. In a locked state, the lock assembly moves the guide to clamp the at least two holders between the guide and the support to engage the surface features of the guide with those of the holders and inhibit movement of the at least two holders in the first direction.
STAND DEVICE WITH INPUTS
In some examples, the disclosure describes a device that includes a stand enclosure that includes a first end to interact with a work surface and a second end to be coupled to a display device, a plurality of input ports coupled to the stand enclosure, and a connection interface coupled to the second end of the stand enclosure to allow communication between the display device and the plurality of inputs when the connection interface is coupled to the display device.
