Elastic securing apparatus and mounting system for electronic device
The present disclosure relates to a system comprising a handle apparatus and mounting system designed for easier and more secure transport of a mobile phone or other hand-held electronic device, and wherein an electronic device can be secured to a surface. The handle apparatus includes a flexible strap, a base, and an adhesive. The mounting system includes a mount faceplate, which includes a central hub and two opposing spiral arms, and an attachment apparatus.
1. A handle apparatus that facilitates holding an electronic device comprising:
a flexible strap having a first end and a second end and comprised of an elastic material; and
a rigid base, the rigid base comprising:
a first end;
a midpoint;
a second end;
a back surface;
a front surface;
a periphery;
an adhesive backer covering the back surface;
a first receiving channel on the back surface near the first end;
a second receiving channel on the back surface near the second end;
a first receiving mortise near the first end; and
a second receiving mortise near the second end;
wherein:
the periphery of the base is tapered;
the first end of the flexible strap is secured to the first receiving channel of the rigid base;
the second end of the flexible strap is secured to the second receiving channel of the rigid base;
the first end of the rigid base and the second end of the rigid base are wider than the midpoint of the rigid base;
the first end of the rigid base and the second end of the rigid base encompass the full width of the flexible strap;
the flexible strap is wider than the midpoint of the rigid base; and
the flexible strap runs along the front surface of the rigid base.
2. The handle apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first end and the second end are of equal width.
3. The handle apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first channel and the second channel are wider than the flexible strap.
4. The handle apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive backer matches the shape of the rigid base.
5. The handle apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the rigid base has a first concave recess on the back surface near the first end and a second concave recess on the back surface near the second end.
6. The handle apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the rigid base is further comprised of a magnet on the back surface near the midpoint.
7. The handle apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the rigid base contains an embedded magnet near the midpoint.
