AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing mobile device holders are complicated, expensive, and lack ease of use due to their complex structure and susceptibility to defects, failing to accommodate a variety of devices comfortably.

Method used

A holder for mobile devices featuring non-linear resistance provided by serpentine or zigzag-shaped strain resistors, with edge clamps that rotate upon manual force application, allowing for adjustable clamping to fit various devices securely and easily.

Benefits of technology

The holder provides robust, easy-to-use, and cost-effective device holding with adjustable clamping for multiple device sizes and shapes, reducing the risk of device ejection during use.

Abstract

The invention relates to a holder (100) for a mobile device (200). Due to the wide variety of devices, conventional fastening devices intended to accommodate many different devices have become complex and expensive. By providing rotatable edge clamps (110, 115) together with one or more serpentine strain resistors (120), a region of non-linear resistance is created to separate the first edge clamp (110) and the second edge clamp (115). This has the advantage of a lower rate of increase in separation resistance at larger separation distances compared to the use of a linear element, such as a coil spring.
