Publication number: 20230396280Abstract: This application relates to accessory support devices for supporting portable electronic devices in relation to other electronic computing devices. A multi-part clip includes a housing having a first housing part having a first surface, a second housing part coupled to the first housing part and having a second surface, and an internal volume. The multi-part clip has a circular, ring-shaped magnetic element disposed within the internal volume and forms, through the second surface, a magnetic attachment to a magnetic element of a portable electronic device. The multi-part clip includes a hook-like appendage pivotably coupled to the first surface and has a recess such that, in an actuated configuration, the hook-like appendage extends away from the first surface and the recess is configured to receive a portion of an electronic computing device. The multi-part clip is balanced atop the electronic computing device according to a gravitational force imparted therein.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2022Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Mohammadali PARSIAN, Fiona P.
