Adjustable holder for portable communication device with sound enhancement

摘要

A holder for a mobile phone includes a body having an opening to receive the mobile phone and having a bottom. The holder further includes a latch coupled to the body for holding the holder with the opening up; and includes rear walls, side walls and a front wall that includes an opening that corresponds to the screen of the mobile phone and includes a mechanism to force the mobile phone to press against the front wall to create a cavity of air between the rear of the mobile phone and the back of the holder, where the top of the cavity is open to allow sound to propagate from near the bottom of the mobile phone through the top thereby amplifying the sound making the sound propagate primarily in an upward direction. The holder also has a clip mechanism feature that uses upward tilted teeth that bite on the front side of a seat belt to allow secure holding even when the user is withdrawing their mobile phone from the holder.

主权项

1. A holder for a mobile phone comprising:
a body having an opening at the top to receive a mobile phone and having a bottom; a latch coupled to the body for positioning the holder with the opening up; a plurality of walls including a front wall, side walls, and a rear wall, the front wall having an opening that aligns with a display of the mobile phone; and a biasing mechanism that presses the mobile phone against the front wall to create a cavity between the rear of the mobile phone and the back of the holder, where the top of the cavity is open to constrain sound to propagate from near the bottom of the mobile phone through the top so as to define an acoustic horn which can amplify the sound and make the sound propagate primarily in an upward direction.
