SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AN ADJUSTABLE, POSITIVE-PRESSURE, RELEASE SUPPORT FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICES FAST Background of the Invention The use of electronic devices such as smartphones is ubiquitous among consumers. Users carry smartphones everywhere, and they are constantly on their bodies. Sometimes, however, it is desirable to mount a smartphone (or other electronic device) on a hands-free stand or other setup that does not require the user to hold the phone. Throughout this description, the term "electronic device" will be used; however, other devices such as tablets or any other electronic device can also be used with the systems described herein. Although solutions exist, it is desirable to have a stand that can securely hold a variety of sizes of electronic devices and quickly release the device.

Detailed Description of the Invention Certain terminology is used here for convenience only and should not be taken as a limitation on the modalities of systems and methods for an adjustable, quick-release, positive-pressure electronic device holder with quick-release functions (Device Holder). In the figures, the same reference numbers are used to designate the same elements throughout. In this document, the Device Holder is designed for various electronic devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices that typically have a user-facing display.Although smartphone and tablet electronic devices are most commonly used with the device stand, the modalities can be designed to attach removably to a wide variety of electronic devices or other items that have a back that can rest against the device stand and can generally be held by clamps that close around the sides of the device or item. In many configurations, the device mount includes two pivot points. These can also be called rotation points. The inclusion of two pivot points allows the device mount to incorporate hand levers, the movement of which remains within the ergonomic range of a human hand, while also providing the clamps with sufficient X-axis range to accommodate the range of phone widths. Furthermore, the Y-axis movement of the upper ends of the levers is minimized, which is necessary for the device to maintain a reasonable level of complexity. Increasing the Y-axis movement of the upper ends of the levers would make it difficult to compensate for this movement by transferring the X-axis movement from the levers to the clamps.This also applies to the lower ends of the levers where the clamps (the lever frames) interconnect with the lever ends. In other words, the device's hand levers must be positioned so that the handles at their ends are close enough together in the fully open position to allow a human hand to squeeze them, while the clamps can move within the range needed to accommodate all desired device sizes. The inclusion of two pivot points for the hand levers (levers 130, 135) allows for greater linear movement of the clamps (clamping plates or clamps 110, 115) for a given Y-axis movement.In some configurations, the inclusion of two pivot points for the manual levers allows twice the linear movement of the clamps within a comparable Y-axis range, compared to a dual-lever system with a single pivot point. By separating the pivot points, the rotational movement of the levers can be translated into a horizontal movement of the clamps in the interval where the rotational movement of the connection points (between the clamps and the lever arms) is predominantly in the x-direction (the direction of movement of the clamps), while maintaining a reasonable lever arm length. This can be explained by the cosine function, since the cosine of an angle is equal to the x-value of the endpoint on the unit circle. If the horizontal movement of the clamps is considered the x-axis, when the levers are placed at π radians, the cosine function is 0. From l / 2n to l / 4n or 3 / 4n radians, most of the movement of the x-axis occurs (the cosine of l / 4n is approximately 0.7, so from l / 2n to l / 4n radians approximately seventy percent of the movement of the x-axis has already occurred).The levers and clamps in device mounting configurations are positioned to accommodate a smartphone. Smartphones typically have a body width and height that are similar in proportion to the overall width and height of the device mount. (Practically speaking, users want a mount (such as a device mount) that is likely less than twice as wide and less than twice as long as a smartphone, and likely less than 1.5 times as wide and long—therefore, roughly on the same scale. If an infinite length of device mount and an infinite length of lever arms were practically possible, then it would be easy to keep the radial rotation close to 1 / 2n radians.)In terms of the actual plate on which the phone rests, referred to as the clamping plate in some forms herein, the plate is slightly smaller than the expected width of the expected smartphone and typically smaller than the expected height of the expected smartphone. If the levers were mounted at a single point to accommodate the usual minimum width of a smartphone, the levers would already be rotated approximately 1 / 4n radians (45 degrees) from 1 / 2n of rotation away from the x-axis (in other words, 1 / 4n radians (45 degrees) away from the y-axis). Here, the additional movement of the levers' interconnection point will be primarily in the y-axis direction, since the cosine values ​​from 0 to 1 / 4n radians and from 3 / 4n to π radians are generally smaller in terms of absolute movement about the x-axis.Therefore, by orienting the lever arms separately, they begin in a position almost parallel to the y-axis (a rotation of l / 2n radians), yet still accommodate the expected minimum width of the smartphone. In this case, as in many of the configurations described herein, the rotation of the lever arms will primarily result in the movement of the clamps along the x-axis from this initial position, maximizing the device's utility and the effectiveness of tightening the lever arms. Another feature is the interlocking mechanism between the two levers. The inclusion of two pivot points allows this interlocking mechanism in many configurations. The interlocking mechanism and the two pivot points work to keep the levers and clamps mechanically synchronized. Furthermore, they eliminate the need for linear guides / rails for the clamps (which is an advantage because guides create tolerance and friction issues). Finally, they keep the clamps and the device always centered (naturally without having to add any other features / stops). In many designs, clamps are stacked on top of the lever arms, joining at the top and bottom. The lower legs of the clamps are stacked one on top of the other, allowing the clamps to attach to the levers on both sides of the pivot points. These double attachment points on the levers on either side of the pivot points greatly increase the stability and strength of the clamps. Furthermore, the levers are approximately twice as long on the lower side of the pivot points, so the distance traveled at the lever ends is roughly doubled compared to the forces required to push the lever ends together. In other words, the clamping force on the device is approximately twice the force required to squeeze the levers together.Furthermore, in many configurations, the device mount uses constant force springs (also called clock springs) in its design, which provide a relatively flat / constant force curve across the entire clamping range. The force increases as they are compressed (but not as much as other types of springs), and this can be desirable since clamping force increases with larger / heavier devices, which require more clamping force. Figure 1 shows a front perspective view of one embodiment of a device holder 100. In general, the device holder 100 includes a central housing 105. The central housing 105 includes adjustment, tensioning, and locking mechanisms to provide the device holder 100 with the necessary adjustments to hold electronic devices of different sizes (such as smartphones). On either side of the central housing 105 are the clamping plates 110, 115. The clamping plates 110, 115 may include an internal clamping area 120. In some embodiments, the clamping area may be made of a compressible material. The clamping area 120 may be contoured as shown or in various other shapes, increasing the compressibility of the material while also increasing the friction it provides. The clamping area 120 may be an overmolding of TPR (thermoplastic rubber) 40 SHORE A.The clamping area 120 can be an overmolded TPR (thermoplastic rubber) of 5 to 100 SHORE A. Alternatively, silicone, rubber, and other materials can be used. Similarly, the plate area 125 on the central housing 105 can include gripping material or simply be flat. The clamping plates 110, 115 can be flat, angled, or contoured to provide additional clamping of an electronic device. The device holder 100 also includes release levers 130, 135. When these levers are pushed inward, the clamping plates 110, 115 extend away from each other and outward. When the levers 130, 135 are released, the clamping plates 110, 115 spring back toward each other (positive pressure). In this way, any electronic device between them is gripped, being easily released through levers 130, 135. Figure 2 shows a front view of the device holder 100. Figure 3 shows a rear view of the device holder 100. Here, the mounting disc 310 is visible. The mounting disc 310 includes an outer frame 320, a magnet 330, and a high-friction material 340. The mounting disc can then be placed on a ball bearing magnetic material, allowing the device to be positioned, rotated, and repositioned as desired by the user. In one embodiment, a magnetic disc is used as described in U.S. Patent 8,602,376, which is incorporated herein by reference. Screws 350 are used to hold the device together. Various other techniques may also be used to hold the device together. b? «rnn / eznz / B / YiAi Figure 4 shows a left-side view of device bracket 100. Figure 5 shows a right-side view of device bracket 100. Figure 6 shows a top view of device bracket 100. Figure 7 shows a bottom view of device bracket 100. Figure 8 shows an exploded view of device bracket 100. Here you can see the internal workings of the device. Mounting plates 110, 115 are mounted on sliding supports 710, 780. The sliding supports 710, 780 include posts 715, 721 projecting from the rear side of the sliding supports 710, 780. In addition, the brace 720 is designed to clamp against the bracing area 785, so that the bracing area 785 can slide against the brace 720 and along the sliding support 710. Levers 130, 135 are also shown.Levers 130 and 135 include openings 725 and 730 for mating with posts 715 and 721, respectively. Openings 725 and 730 are slots that allow posts 715 and 721 to slide up and down within the slot. In this way, sliding lever supports 710 and 780 are attached to both levers 130 and 135 in opposite radial positions. The radial movement of the arms results in inward and outward movement of the clamping plates 110 and 115 and the sliding of posts 715 and 721 in the openings 725 and 730. Additionally, sliding support 780 includes a post 721, but it is not visible in this view. The sliding support includes a bracing area 785 that rests and slides against the corresponding area on the sliding support 710. In this way, the movement of the levers 130, 135 affects the position of the clamping plates 110, 115.Furthermore, levers 130 and 135 include gears 740, which provide for levers 130 and 135 to move in unison. The stacking arrangement is believed to be safe. Levers 130 and 135 are spring-loaded via springs 745. Due to this geometry, in some embodiments, the clamping or gripping force provided by the clamping plates can be twice the force required to move the levers. Springs 745 sit on raised openings 750 and within holes in levers 130 and 135. Springs 745 are constant-force or clock springs in many embodiments. The spring force provided by such springs is relatively constant. The raised openings 750 and levers 130, 135 include spring latches 755, 760, where the spring engagement points 745 can push and thus provide tension to the levers 130, 135.The rear section 770 secures the device by attaching it to the front plate area 125 with screws. The design thus provides a device that applies constant tension across the clamping plates 110, 115, which can be released by pulling the levers 130, 135 together. Furthermore, by providing upper and lower attachment points to secure the plates 110, 115 to the levers 130, 135, the clamping plates move in unison in an inward and outward motion, and the rotary motion of the levers is converted into planar, bidirectional motion. In many embodiments, this rotary motion conversion is achieved by attaching one lever arm to an upper and lower portion of a first sliding support, and the other lever arm attaching at only one location on a second sliding support.The portion of the first support that attaches to the far or distal lever arm is significantly larger than the portion that attaches to the near lever arm. The upper portion of the near lever arm and the lower portion of the far or distal lever arm move in unison with the direction of the first lever arm. Of course, the terms "up" and "down," "near" and "far" are simply intended as relative terms related to the orientations shown in the figures and should be interpreted as such. Furthermore, Figure 17 shows a view of the device support 100, with the clamping area 120 removed. By removing the clamping area 120, the assembly of the internal components can be seen. Here we can see how the raised openings 750 and springs 755 capture the springs b? «rnn / eznz / B / YiAi 745. Furthermore, it is visible how the lever slide supports 710, 780 sit atop the levers 130, 135. According to this interconnection, as the levers 130, 135 move in a rotational direction, the corresponding portions of the lever slide supports 710, 780 can be seen to move in unison. It can also be seen that the lever slide support 710 sits atop the lever slide support 780, and then both are positioned above the levers 130, 135, when viewed downwards on the device towards the interior of the rear section 770. This view is common to that of the device holder 900, except for the rear strap system. Figure 9 shows an alternative embodiment of a 900 device mount in which the magnetic back portion has been replaced by a 910 back strap system. Alternatively, many different mounts / devices can be incorporated into the back portion of the device. In some alternatives, this may be a handle, a stand, or a lanyard instead of the magnetic back strap system. Furthermore, alternatives may include a wrist attachment or armband system, allowing the device to be worn on the body. Additionally, alternatives may include a mounting system that connects to a vent, adheres to a surface (using adhesive), or attaches to a window or other surface using a suction cup. A stand may also be provided, and in some alternatives, a flexible arm may be provided and attached to the back of the device mount.The device mount can be integrated with or include any possible mounting and fastening system. The 910 rear strap system is designed to attach to a cylindrical object such as a handle or grip. The other aspects of the device in this system are essentially the same. Figure 10 shows a front view of the 900 device mount. Figure 11 shows a rear view of the 900 device mount. Figure 12 shows a left-side view of the 900 device mount. Figure 13 shows a right-side view of the 900 device mount. Figure 14 shows a top view of the 100 device mount. Figure 15 shows a bottom view of the 900 device mount. Figure 16 shows an exploded view of the device support 900. The internal workings of the device can be seen here. Clamping plates 110, 115 are mounted on sliding supports 710, 780. The sliding supports 710, 780 include posts 715, 721 that project from the rear of the sliding supports 710, 780. Furthermore, the brace 720 is designed to clamp against the bracing area 785, so that the bracing area 785 can slide against the brace 720. "rnn / eznz / B / YiAi along the sliding support 710. Levers 130, 135 are also shown. Levers 130, 135 include openings 725, 730 for coupling with posts 715, 721 respectively. Openings 725, 730 are slots that allow posts 715, 721 to slide up and down in the slot. In this way, the lever sliding supports 710, 780 are joined to both levers 130, 135 at opposite radial positions."The radial movement of the arms results in an inward and outward movement of the clamping plates 110, 115 and the sliding of the posts 715, 721 in the openings 725, 730. Additionally, the sliding support 780 includes a post 721, but it is not visible in this view. The sliding support includes a reinforcing area 785 that rests against and slides against the corresponding area on the sliding support 710. In this way, the movement of the levers 130, 135 affects the position of the clamping plates 110, 115. Furthermore, the levers 130, 135 include gears 740, which allows the levers 130, 135 to move in unison. Gear 740 keeps the levers and clamping plates mechanically synchronized, eliminates the need for tracks for the levers and clamping plates, and keeps the clamping plates (clamps) centered. Levers 130 and 135 are spring-loaded via springs 745.The springs 745 sit in the raised openings 750 and within the holes of the levers 130, 135. The raised openings 750 and the levers 130, 135 include spring latches 755, 760, where the engagement points on the springs 745 can push and thus provide tension to the levers 130, 135. The back 770 holds the device together by attaching it to the faceplate area 125 with screws. The design thus provides a device that applies constant tension across the clamping plates 110, 115, which can be released by pulling the levers 130, 135 together. Furthermore, by providing an upper and lower attachment point to attach plates 110, 115 to levers 130, 135, the clamping plates move in unison in an outward and outward manner, and the rotational movement of the levers is converted into planar bidirectional movement.In many embodiments, this conversion of rotary motion is achieved by attaching one lever arm to the top and bottom of a first sliding support and the other lever arm to a second sliding support, attaching only in one position. The portion of the first support attached to the far or distal lever arm is significantly larger than the portion attached to the near lever arm. The top of the near lever arm and the bottom of the far or distal lever arm move in unison with the direction of the first lever arm. Of course, the terms "up" and "down," "near" and "far" are intended simply as relative terms related to the orientations shown in the figures and should be interpreted as such. Additionally, the rear belt system 910 is visible in an exploded view. This system is designed to wrap around a cylindrical object. It includes a friction disc 1610, which can be made of rubber or another high-friction material. The friction disc 1610 engages with the body 1620 in the groove 1660, which has a complementary shape. The body 1620 includes the tip 1625, which is designed to interlock with the holes in the rubberized portion of the belt 1650. The screw 1630 works with the threaded insert 1655 to secure the rear belt system assembly 910. The screw 1630 effectively fits into the other side of the belt support 1645, thus sandwiching all the parts. Spring 1635 provides pressure and tension to the rear belt system 910 when assembled, so that the friction of the friction disc, backrest 770 and body 1620 is sufficient to resist movement.At the same time, the spring 1635 can be compressed and the device can be rotated with respect to the rear portion 770. The spring 1635 can be a wave disc spring in various configurations. The rear belt system 910 also includes the protrusion 1640, which aids in the interconnection of the parts. In operation, as shown in Figures 12 and 14, the rubberized belt portion 1650 is wound through an opening in the body 1620, and then a hole in the rubberized belt portion 1650 is placed at the tip 1625. The body portion 1625 can also include a high-friction area 410 or rubberized or flexible material that increases the device's mating friction. Since the 1650 belt portion is made to be elastic, tension is applied to a cylindrical or other irregular object placed between the 1650 belt portion and the high friction area 410. In many device holder designs, a clamping area is provided for gripping an electronic device. The clamping area is spring-loaded to provide gripping force on an object placed between two clamping plates. Two release levers are provided to release the gripping force from the clamping area. The clamping plates move in a single plane of motion, inward and outward. The release levers rotate. The device holder is designed to convert the rotational motion of the release levers into a single-plane motion for the clamping plates. This is achieved through gearing between the arms and a sliding support, with one of the clamping plates attached to a first arm at a first location and a second arm at a second location. The arms have a central point of rotation.The first location on the first arm is a first distance from the central rotation point. The second location on the second arm is at the same first distance from its central rotation point. When the first and second arms rotate, the clamping plate is pulled in the same direction by the first and second arms. When the first and second arms rotate in opposite directions, the translated single-plane movement is in the same direction. At the joining sites, a post-in-slot arrangement is used, so that the post can slide in the slot to compensate for the translation of the arms' rotational movement into a planar / linear movement. In addition, a variety of interlocking mechanisms can be located on the back of the device support.This includes, but is not limited to, the magnetic system shown and the cylindrical interconnection system shown, as well as clamps, magnets, sails, press-fit systems, force-fit systems, adhesives, and other fasteners (such as screws, bolts, etc.). Although the specific embodiments have been described in detail in the preceding detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying figures, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and alternatives to those details could be developed in light of the general teachings of the description and its broad inventive concepts.
