Phone holder

Abstract

A phone holder comprises a platform supporting an articulatable member supporting an interface member that is configured to contact a phone to secure the phone in relation to the platform. The platform is displaceable in relation to a base between an inoperative position wherein the articulatable member is held in a fixed position and a second operable position wherein the articulatable member is articulated. The articulatable member is supported in relation to a rack that is driven by a pinion to articulate the articulatable member. The pinion is driven by rotating the platform in relation to a base subjacent to the platform. The platform may be normally biased downward to render the pinion inoperable against rotation. The platform may be supported by a ball that is a component part of a ball and socket configuration.
