Support for Flat Rigid Objects

Abstract

A drop in receptacle for generally flat and rigid objects that is particularly useful for supporting electronic devices such as tablets and smartphones. The support includes corner catches for at least two corners of the device. The corner catches include rotating latches and cornerpieces. The rotating latches are shaped and configured so that they rotate when the corner of an object is pressed against the top surface of the latch. The cornerpieces are shaped to accept and support the corner of the device. After the devices passes the top surface of the latch, the latch returns to its original state and a spring presses the device against the bottom of the latch, securing the device in place.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
