Abstract

An electronic device holder that is configured to hold at least one electronic device includes a wall structure and a hook structure. The electronic device has a first side and a second side that are opposite each other. The wall structure includes a main wall and at least one biasing member. The main wall is configured to support and abut the second side of an electronic device. The biasing member projects from the main wall and is configured to bias the electronic device away from the main wall. The biasing member is configured to extend along and abut at least a portion of the second side of the electronic device. The hook structure is configured to secure the electronic device. The hook structure includes an end portion that is configured to support and abut at least a portion of the first side of the electronic device.

Claims (18)

1. An electronic device holder configured to hold at least one electronic device that has a first side and a second side that are opposite each other, the electronic device holder comprising:

a wall structure comprising a main wall and at least one biasing member, wherein the main wall is configured to support and abut the second side of an electronic device, and the biasing member projects from the main wall and is configured to bias the electronic device away from the main wall, the biasing member configured to extend along and abut at least a portion of the second side of the electronic device;

a hook structure configured to secure the electronic device, wherein the hook structure includes an end portion that is configured to support and abut at least a portion of the first side of the electronic device; and

wherein the wall structure includes at least one lower attachment part that is configured to engage with a lower engagement part of the hook structure.

2. The electronic device holder of claim 1 , wherein the biasing member is a projection that comprises an angled portion that extends laterally and downwardly from the main wall at an angle.

3. The electronic device holder of claim 2 , wherein the projection further comprises a downward portion that extends from a lower end of the angled portion downwardly toward a lower support of the hook structure.

4. The electronic device holder of claim 1 , wherein the biasing member is a bubble that extends along at least a portion of a longitudinal length of the wall structure.

5. The electronic device holder of claim 4 , further comprising multiple bubbles that are spaced apart from each other along a longitudinal length of the wall structure by gaps that are aligned with gaps between hooks of the hook structure.

6. The electronic device holder of claim 1 , wherein the biasing member is constructed out of a flexible material.

7. The electronic device holder of claim 6 , wherein the flexible material is a rubber material.

8. The electronic device holder of claim 1 , wherein the main wall, the biasing member, and the end portion of the hook structure comprises a rubber material.

9. The electronic device holder of claim 1 , wherein the main wall and the biasing member are integrally formed.

10. The electronic device holder of claim 1 , wherein the wall structure comprises multiple biasing members that are integrally formed with the main wall.

11. The electronic device holder of claim 1 , wherein the hook structure comprises multiple hooks spaced apart from each other along a longitudinal length of the electronic device holder by a gap.

12. The electronic device holder of claim 1 , wherein the hook structure comprises at least one hook that includes a vertical wall, an angled wall, and a base, wherein the vertical wall extends vertically between the base and the angled wall, wherein the angled wall extends upwardly and laterally inwardly toward the main wall of the wall structure, wherein the end portion is positioned at a top of the angled wall.

13. The electronic device holder of claim 1 , wherein the main wall is configured to abut an upper portion of the electronic device along the second side of the electronic device, the end portion of the hook structure is configured to abut a middle portion of the electronic device along the first side of the electronic device, and the biasing member is configured to abut a lower portion of the electronic device along the second side of the electronic device.

14. The electronic device holder of claim 1 , wherein the at least one electronic device holder is configured to secure the electronic device in either a portrait orientation or a landscape orientation.

15. The electronic device holder of claim 1 , further comprising a wireless charger coupled to a portion of the electronic device holder.
