  • Patent number: 9062818
    Abstract: A clamping apparatus is provided, including a base unit, a movable unit, a carrier unit, a clamping element located on base unit and two stop elements located on carrier unit; wherein the base unit includes a placement surface for placing an electronic device; the movable unit partially extends into base unit and can move linearly; the carrier unit is detachably disposed at movable unit; the clamping element and stop elements protrude respectively on two sides of placement surface so that electronic device can be clamped between clamping element and two stop elements. The feature is that the stop elements have an arc shape and are partially engaged to carrier unit with elasticity to expand outward, and maximum clamping distance between two stop elements is increased when applying external force. As such, when the size of electronic device changes by protective cover, the clamping apparatus still maintains good clamping effect.
