Abstract

A mobile device holder can be provided that includes a screen having a center and a perimeter, a means to retain a mobile device at the center of the screen, a mobile device holder support member defining an outer perimeter of the screen, and conical shape supports configured to create and hold a conical shape of the screen from the perimeter to the center. The mobile device holder support member can be configured to interfaced with a support member associated with a Fresnel lens having a center defined by non-conductive material surrounded by conductive material and position the means to retain a mobile device away from the Fresnel lens when the mobile device support member is interfaced with the support member.

Claims (29)

1 . A mobile device holder, comprising:

a screen having a center and a perimeter;

a means to retain a mobile device at the center of the screen;

a mobile device holder support member defining an outer perimeter of the screen; and

conical shape supports provided in the form of rods and adapted to position the means to retain a mobile device at the center of the screen and away from the Fresnel lens when the mobile device support member is interfaced with the support member;

wherein the mobile device holder support member is made from spring metal and is configured to interface with a support member associated with a Fresnel lens and position the mobile device near a center of the Fresnel lens.

2 . The mobile device holder of claim 1 , wherein the screen is collapsible by twisting the mobile device holder support member in opposite screw senses to form interleaved concentric sections.

3 . The mobile device holder of claim 1 , wherein the screen is provided in the form of at least one of a circle, square, or rectangle.

4 . The mobile device holder of claim 1 , wherein the screen is made from nonelectromagnetic fabric.

5 . The mobile device holder of claim 1 , wherein the conical shape supports are made from spring metal.

6 . A retaining device for holding mobile device at a center and in front of a Fresnel lens, comprising:

a screen configured as a mobile device support having a center and a perimeter, said screen formed in a conical shape by supports provided in the form of rods and adapted to position a pocket formed at the center of the screen away from the Fresnel lens when the perimeter of the mobile device support is interfaced with a second perimeter associated with a support member associated with the Fresnel lens,

wherein the Fresnel lens has a center defined by non-conductive material surrounded by conductive material and the mobile device support and the conical shape supports position the mobile device away from the Fresnel lens when the mobile device support is interfaced with the Fresnel lens.

7 . The mobile device holder of claim 6 , wherein the screen is collapsible by twisting the mobile device holder support member in opposite screw senses to form interleaved concentric sections.

8 . The mobile device holder of claim 6 , wherein the screen is provided in the form of at least one of a circle, square, or rectangle.

9 . The mobile device holder of claim 6 , wherein the screen is made from nonelectromagnetic fabric.

10 . The mobile device holder of claim 6 , wherein mobile device holder support member is made from spring metal.

11 . The mobile device holder of claim 6 , wherein the conical shape supports are made from spring metal.

12 . The mobile device holder of claim 11 , wherein the conical shape supports are provided in the form of rods.

13 . A retaining device for holding mobile device in front of a Fresnel lens, comprising:

a screen having a center and a perimeter and being comprised of nonconductive fabric;

a pocket for retaining a mobile device at the center of the screen;

a mobile device holder support member defining an outer perimeter of the screen; and

conical shape supports provided in the form of rods and adapted to position the pocket at the center of the screen and away from the Fresnel lens when the mobile device support member is interfaced with the support member associated with the Fresnel lens;

wherein the mobile device holder support member is configured to interfaced with a support member associated with a Fresnel lens and positions the means to retain a mobile device at a center of and away from the Fresnel lens when the mobile device support member is interfaced with the support member.

14 . The mobile device holder of claim 13 , wherein the screen is collapsible by twisting the mobile device holder support member in opposite screw senses to form interleaved concentric sections.

15 . The mobile device holder of claim 13 , wherein the screen is provided in the form of at least one of a circle, square, or rectangle.

16 . The mobile device holder of claim 13 , wherein the screen is made from nonelectromagnetic fabric.

17 . The mobile device holder of claim 13 , wherein mobile device holder support member and conical shape supports are made from spring metal.
