A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230305371A1) describes a device holder with several unique features. The device holder includes a base with a bearing portion, a pivot, and a front cover with a pressing portion. The front cover is rotatably attached to the base by the pivot, and the bearing portion and pressing portion create an accommodation space.

In one embodiment, the accommodation space extends through both the front cover and the base along an axis. As the distance from the front cover increases along the axis, the inner diameter of the bearing portion decreases. Similarly, as the distance from the base increases along the axis, the inner diameter of the pressing portion decreases. This design allows for a secure fit and accommodation of various device sizes.

The pressing portion of the front cover is equipped with multiple protruding ribs, which may be made of an elastic material. These ribs provide additional grip and stability for the device held in the holder.

An engaging structure is present between the front cover and the base, further enhancing the stability and security of the device holder.

The bearing portion of the base is designed with a curved surface, which aids in the rotation and movement of the front cover.

The device holder may also include a tie disposed on the base, allowing for easy attachment to other objects or surfaces.

In another embodiment, the device holder includes a mount bracket and a pivot bump on the base. The mount bracket is pivotally attached to the base using the pivot bump. Additionally, a fixing member is included, allowing the mount bracket to be fixed at any desired angle relative to the base.

Overall, this patent describes a device holder with various innovative features, including a rotatable front cover, accommodation space with adjustable inner diameters, protruding ribs for grip, engaging structures for stability, and optional mount bracket with adjustable angles. These features make the device holder versatile and suitable for securely holding electronic devices of different sizes and shapes.
