  • Patent number: 9676344
    Abstract: A folding device support system allows a device, such as a phone, GPS device and the like, to be held upright. A foldable support member contains a series of hinge sections configured so as to create a pocket into which the device to be held is contained. It is foldable to allow the unit, when not in use, to be deployed essentially flat for easy storage or transportation between vehicles or locations, and is optionally fitted with a flexible base to provide stability.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9004433
    Abstract: A folding support device and methods for constructing and using the same are provided by the present invention. A foldable support member contains a series of hinge sections and support and stress limiting members. Construction is provided enabling the device to safely collapse and stow while traveling, but to unfold and provide a gripping tension on both a support member and a support device in a reliable manner. Force analysis is provided securing the item in an upright way via a force transfer generated by the supported weight itself.
