TOOL FOR MULTI-POSITIONING AND HOLDING A DEVICE

摘要

A tool for multi-positioning and holding a device without requiring a user's hands. In one embodiment, a tool, such as a robotic arm, is secured to a user's forearm, such as with a pair of hook-and-loop fasteners attached to the robotic arm that wrap around the arm and then are fastened to each other. The tool has many points of articulation and many degrees of freedom. The tool may include a telescoping or expandable section joined at its distal end with a device support member. The device support member may grasp a mobile device, a smart phone, a camera or other electronic or mechanical device. The device support member may be coupled to the expandable section or an extension member by one or more attitude mechanisms making it possible for a user to flip and orient the device by body motion into many positions or attitudes, as the user desires.
