Abstract
An apparatus to support a device includes a first base; a first support; a first base-support hinge adapted to rotatably couple the first base and the first support along a first axis of rotation; a first swivel slidably connected to the first support and having a first cut-out adapted to receive a first portion of the device; a second base; a second support; a second base-support hinge adapted to rotatably couple the second base and the second support along a second axis of rotation; and a second swivel slidably connected to the second support and having a second cut-out adapted to receive a second portion of the device spaced apart from the first portion of the device.
Claims23
An apparatus to support a device, comprising:
- a first base;
- a first support;
- a first base-support hinge adapted to rotatably couple the first base and the first support along a first axis of rotation;
- a first swivel slidably connected to the first support and having a first cut-out adapted to receive a first portion of the device;
- a second base;
- a second support;
- a second base-support hinge adapted to rotatably couple the second base and the second support along a second axis of rotation;
- and
- a second swivel slidably connected to the second support and having a second cut-out adapted to receive a second portion of the device spaced apart from the first portion of the device.
An apparatus to support a device, comprising:
- a single base;
- a first support;
- a first base-support hinge adapted to rotatably couple the single base and the first support along a first axis of rotation;
- a first swivel slidably connected to the first support and having a first cut-out adapted to receive a first portion of the device;
- a second support;
- a second base-support hinge adapted to rotatably couple the single base and the second support along a second axis of rotation;
- and
- a second swivel slidably connected to the second support and having a second cut-out adapted to receive a second portion of the device spaced apart from the first portion of the device.
An apparatus to support a device, comprising:
- a first base;
- a first support;
- a first base-support hinge adapted to rotatably couple the first base and the first support along a first axis of rotation;
- a first swivel slidably connected to the first support and having a first cut-out adapted to receive a first portion of the device;
- a second base;
- a second support;
- a second base-support hinge adapted to rotatably couple the second base and the second support along a second axis of rotation;
- a second swivel slidably connected to the second support and having a second cut-out adapted to receive a second portion of the device spaced apart from the first portion of the device, and
- a base-base coupling adapted to couple the first base and the second base,
- wherein at least some of the first and second bases, the first and second supports, and the first and second swivels are adapted to collapse into at least one storage form of the apparatus, and
- wherein the device supported in at least one functional form of the apparatus may be supported in a range of positions that may vary between 0° and 180° as the first and second swivels slidably move and rotate in a same direction about a third axis of rotation.
