Portable electronic device holder

1. A portable electronic device holder for a passenger seat, comprising:

a longitudinal clamping structure having a generally L-shaped cross-section, comprising:

a supporting flap forming an L-base of the generally L-shaped clamping structure, and configured to support a portable electronic device such that an effective area of the portable electronic device is not parallel to the supporting flap,

a clamping flap forming an L-leg of the generally L-shaped clamping structure, and configured to clamp the portable electronic device against a surface abutting the portable electronic device, and

a mounting structure for slidably or tiltably mounting the clamping structure to the passenger seat; wherein

the clamping flap is pivotably coupled to the supporting flap through a hinge; and wherein

the clamping structure comprises a biasing structure configured to urge the clamping flap towards the supporting flap.

2. The portable electronic device holder according to claim 1 , wherein the clamping structure is configured to be mounted to a back of the passenger seat slidably in a direction at least substantially perpendicular to a plane of the back of the seat to adjust a space between the clamping flap and the surface abutting the portable electronic device.

3. The portable electronic device holder according to claim 1 , wherein the clamping structure is tiltable relative to a back of the passenger seat to adjust a viewing angle of the portable electronic device.

4. The portable electronic device holder according to claim 1 , wherein the clamping flap is made of transparent material.

5. The portable electronic device holder according to claim 1 , wherein the surface abutting the portable electronic device comprises one of a back of the passenger seat, a monitor, or a planar support.

6. The portable electronic device holder according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting structure is integrally formed together with the supporting flap of the clamping structure.

7. The portable electronic device holder according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting structure is connected to the clamping structure.

8. A portable electronic device holder for a passenger seat, comprising:

a planar support;

a longitudinal clamping structure attached to the planar support, the longitudinal clamping structure having a generally L-shaped cross-section and configured to hold a portable electronic device between the longitudinal clamping structure and the planar support and comprising:

a supporting flap forming an L-base of the generally L-shaped clamping structure, and configured to support the portable electronic device such that an effective area of the portable electronic device is not parallel to the supporting flap,

a clamping flap forming an L-leg of the generally L-shaped clamping structure, and configured to clamp the portable electronic device against the planar support, and

a mounting structure for slidably or tiltably mounting the portable electronic device holder to the passenger seat; wherein

the clamping flap is pivotably coupled to the supporting flap through a hinge; and wherein

the longitudinal clamping structure comprises a biasing structure configured to urge the clamping flap towards the supporting flap.

9. The portable electronic device holder according to claim 8 , wherein the mounting structure is connected to the clamping structure.

10. The portable electronic device holder according to claim 8 , comprising:

a further mounting structure for tiltably mounting the planar support to the passenger seat.

11. The portable electronic device holder according to claim 8 , wherein the portable electronic device holder is configured to be mounted to a back of the passenger seat slidably in a direction at least substantially perpendicular to a plane of the back of the seat to adjust a space between the clamping flap and the planar support.

12. The portable electronic device holder according to claim 8 , wherein the clamping structure is attached to the planar support slidably in a direction at least substantially perpendicular to a plane of the planar support to adjust a space between the clamping flap and the planar support.

13. The portable electronic device holder according to claim 8 , wherein the clamping structure is tiltable relative to a back of the passenger seat to adjust a viewing angle of the portable electronic device.

14. An integrated entertainment system for use with a passenger seat comprising:

a monitor mounted in a back of the passenger seat;

a longitudinal clamping structure mounted to the monitor, the clamping structure having a generally L-shaped cross-section and configured to hold a portable electronic device between the monitor and the clamping structure, comprising:

a supporting flap forming an L-base of the generally L-shaped clamping structure, and configured to support the portable electronic device such that an effective area of the portable electronic device is not parallel to the supporting flap,

a clamping flap forming an L-leg of the generally L-shaped clamping structure, and configured to clamp the portable electronic device against the monitor, and

a mounting structure for slidably or tiltably mounting the clamping structure to the monitor; wherein

the clamping flap is pivotably coupled to the supporting flap through a hinge; and wherein

the clamping structure comprises a biasing structure configured to urge the clamping flap towards the supporting flap.

15. The integrated entertainment system according to claim 14 , wherein the clamping structure is mounted to the monitor slidably in a direction at least substantially perpendicular to a surface of the monitor to adjust a space between the clamping flap and the monitor.

16. The integrated entertainment system according to claim 14 , further comprising:

a second mounting structure for tiltably mounting the integrated entertainment system to the passenger seat.
