SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR MOUNTING A HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE

摘要

A device for selectively and releasably mounting a handheld electronic device to a surface. The device includes a mounting plate and a base plate. The mounting plate includes a top surface having a female connector. The mounting plate may be secured to the surface. Alternatively, the mounting plate may include a rigid member extending around a recess through the surface. The base plate receives the handheld electronic device within a first side thereof and includes a male connector spaced and extending from a side of the base plate opposite the first side. The male connector has a size and shape similar to the size and shape of the recess. Insertion of the male connector into the recess and rotation of the male connector to be misaligned with the recess causes the base plate and handheld electronic device to be releasably locked to the mounting plate. The male connector on the base plate or the mounting plate may also be used detached from a surface as a handle for holding the electronic device when in use.
