Positioning grip for a mobile electronic device

摘要

An electronic device interface is provided that is selectively interconnectable to a portable electronic device. The interface is preferably interconnected to the portable electronic device via inwardly-biased arms that end in fingers that engage opposing edges or corners of the portable electronic device. The interface may receive a positioning grip that includes a support having at least one selectively deflectable surface.

主权项

1. A device for selectively positioning an electronic device, comprising:
a dock having a top portion and a bottom portion, said top portion and said bottom portion define a partially enclosed volume; a first arm operatively interconnected to said dock, said first arm having a first position of storage and a second position of use, wherein said first arm is substantially received in said partially enclosed volume in said first position of storage, and said first arm is substantially extended from said partially enclosed volume in said second position of use; a second arm operatively interconnected to said dock, said second arm having a first position of storage and a second position of use, wherein said second arm is substantially received in said partially enclosed volume in said first position of storage, and said second arm is substantially extended from said partially enclosed volume in said second position of use; a first finger rotatably interconnected to said first arm, said first finger having a distal end, wherein said distal end of said first finger is positioned inside said partially enclosed volume when said first arm is in said first position of storage, and said distal end of said first finger is positioned outside said partially enclosed volume when said first arm is in said second position of use; a second finger rotatably interconnect to said second arm, said second finger having a distal end, wherein said distal end of said second finger is positioned inside said partially enclosed volume when said second arm is in said first position of storage, and said distal end of said second finger is positioned outside said partially enclosed volume when said second arm is in said second position of use; and wherein said dock has a first position of storage wherein said first arm and said second arm are in said first position of storage, and wherein said dock has a second position of use wherein said first arm and said second arm are in said second position of use such that said top portion of said dock is adapted to be engaged onto or adjacent to a back surface of an electronic device, and said first finger and said second finger are configured to selectively interconnect to an edge of an electronic device.
