Computing device stand and related methods
View Patent ↗A stand for a computing device may include a body having first and second opposing longitudinal sides, and first and second opposing ends, and a retention strap extending between the first and second opposing ends. The stand may include first and second fasteners coupled respectively to the first and second opposing ends and to be coupled to a support structure.
1. A stand for a computing device consisting of:
a body having first and second opposing longitudinal sides, first and second opposing ends, and first and second planar major surfaces, the first and second planar major surfaces each comprising rubber portions;
said first opposing longitudinal side comprising
a vertical portion extending transversely to said first and second planar major surfaces and defining at least one slot to receive a cable from the computing device, and
a lip portion extending in parallel to said first and second planar major surfaces and defining an “L”-shaped lip with said vertical portion;
said first and second opposing ends each comprising
a sidewall extending transversely to said first and second planar major surfaces, and
a plurality of cylindrical supports extending from the sidewall;
a retention strap extending between said sidewalls of said first and second opposing ends, said retention strap comprising an elastic band;
a support comprising a base, and a telescoping arm extending laterally therefrom;
first and second adjustable fasteners coupled to respective pluralities of cylindrical supports from said first and second opposing ends, said first and second adjustable fasteners extending vertically from said telescoping arm to said body and comprising an elastic material;
said body and said first and second adjustable fasteners being capable of being inverted; and
a coupling arrangement comprising
a first portion coupled to said telescoping arm, and
a swiveling coupler coupled to said first portion, said first and second adjustable fasteners being coupled to the swiveling coupler;
said first and second adjustable fasteners operating in first and second modes, the first mode comprising said first and second adjustable fasteners extending upwardly and vertically from said first planar major surface, the second mode comprising said first and second adjustable fasteners extending upwardly and vertically from said second planar major surface.
