Infrastructure for mobile devices and electronic loose equipment

A portable device mounting assembly for aircraft, comprising:

• a support part having a first end and a second end;
• a quick-release mechanical and electrical coupling located at the first end of said support part with a male portion, for connecting said portable device mounting assembly to said aircraft and for creating power supply to a power connector on said portable device mounting assembly;
• and
• a portable device holder located at the second end, for clamping said portable device;
• wherein said power connector provides at least power to said portable device, and multiple degrees of freedom are created at the first end and the second end of said support part to provide position adjustability of said portable device,
• wherein said male portion of said quick-release mechanical and electrical coupling comprises a biscuit and a breakable fastener located at least partially in said biscuit and connecting said biscuit to a rest of said first quick-release mechanical and electrical coupling, said breakable fastener acting as a mechanical fuse by breaking under excessive force.

A mobile device securing and charging architecture for aircraft, comprising:

• a removable support arm having at a first end a quick-release electrical and mechanical coupling with a male portion for connecting with a matching coupling connected to an aircraft body and aircraft electrical system;
• a mobile device holder located at a second end of the removable support arm having at least one bracket for engaging and holding a mobile device from opposed sides to grip the mobile device;
• a USB power bus located within the removable support arm;
• an automatically resetting aircraft-adapted power supply circuit comprising an over current protection circuit and bidirectional voltage protection circuit having as input aircraft electrical system voltage of 28V and providing an output voltage of 5V at the USB power bus wherein said automatically resetting aircraft-adapted power supply circuit is connectable to a mobile device held by the mobile device holder via a USB connector provided within the mobile device securing and charging architecture,
• wherein said male portion of said quick-release mechanical and electrical coupling comprises a biscuit and a breakable fastener located at least partially in said biscuit and connecting said biscuit to a rest of said first quick-release mechanical and electrical coupling, said breakable fastener acting as a mechanical fuse by breaking under excessive force.
