  • BACKGROUND Brackets are known to mount a portable electronic device such as a mobile phone or a GPS on a car dashboard, or to facilitate the use of the mobile phone to take pictures under certain circumstances, such as extending arms or selfie sticks.
  • known brackets are generally adapted to a particular base or application and are not very versatile.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a mount bracket that is adaptable and that can be easily used by the user for multiple applications.
  • the present invention provides a mount bracket for portable electronic devices, comprising a frame in which an electronic device can be detachably attached, the frame having at least one slider comprising at least one line of coupling notches.
  • the slider is adapted to slide on a guide of a holder, and the coupling notches of the slider are adapted to be press fitted with a protrusion provided in the guide of the holder.
  • the frame may be designed and sized for a particular of portable electronic device mode, and allows the device to be mounted on a plurality of different bases, for different applications, with which a holder that is complementary to the slider may be associated.
  • a frame adapted to each device model allows a very strong attachment of the electronic device in the frame, and therefore a great reliability.
  • Mounting of the device on the holder, and therefore mounting on any base, is adjustable thanks to the presence of the slider that is allowed to slide along the holder and be attached in a plurality of positions thanks to a line of coupling notches.
  • the user changes, for example, a mobile phone model, or if more than one device is used, such as a mobile phone and a tablet
  • advantage can be taken of the same holders provided in different bases (car dashboard, helmet, bicycle, selfie stick, tripod, etc.) simply with a frame suitable for each device, and using the same holders.
  • the slider and the property of the frame to be able to slide with respect to the holder and to be placed in different positions, problems for adapting different devices to the same base are remarkably reduced.
  • the operation for placing the device in the desired position on a holder is simple and safe: in fact, thanks to the configuration of coupling notches in the slider, it is not necessary to provide tightening screws or other adjustment elements, but cooperation between the slider and the guide may be under pressure.
  • the frame and holder assembly may be configured so that the slider is attached in stable positions with the protrusion of the holder within one of the notches of the guide, but allowed to slid from one position to another along the guide exerting a certain force.
  • the bracket comprises two sliders on the two sides of the frame that are substantially perpendicular to each other. This provides greater versatility since the frame can be attached in both vertical and horizontal positions.
  • the slider has a T-shaped section with a proximal portion and a distal portion, the distal portion being wider than the proximal portion. Safer guiding is thus ensured since the slider is effectively confined.
  • the line of coupling notches is located in the proximal portion of the slider.
  • the slider is provided with two lines of coupling notches, one on each of its sides. This results in a better attachment of the frame, since a greater number of attachment points is provided.
  • the coupling notches may be substantially circular or substantially semi-cylindrical recesses, or the line of coupling notches has a substantially undulated or substantially sawed shape.
  • the frame is U-shaped with channels in the facing walls for inserting the electronic device.
  • the frame comprises an elastic member and means for attaching the elastic member in two facing walls.
  • the electronic device is therefore reliably attached to the frame under pressure.
  • the frame is made of polyamide.
  • the mount bracket further comprises a holder that comprises an adapter for attaching the holder to a base and a guide.
  • Said guide is configured to slidably receive the slider of the frame and it is provided with at least one protrusion on one of its walls. The protrusion is adapted to be selectively press fitted in one of the notches of the slider.
  • the electronic device may be easily and efficiently attached to a wide variety of bases, such as a helmet, a handlebar or a selfie stick.
  • the guide of the holder has at least two protrusions.
  • the protrusions are provided in facing walls of the guide
  • the holder further comprises a hinge between the guide and the adapter. In this way, a possibility for changing the

  • Figures 2A and 2B show different embodiments of a holder
  • Figure 3 shows a frame and a holder coupled according to one embodiment.
  • Figure 1 shows a frame 100 of a mount bracket for portable electronic devices that can be coupled to a holder and then attached to a base or outer member.
  • Said frame can be formed by a single piece, by three separate pieces joined together, for example, by means of a hinge or welded; or at least one of the walls thereof may be formed by a slider.
  • the frame 100 is formed by two walls 1 10 facing each other, each having a channel 1 15 for facilitating the insertion of the electronic device, and a third wall formed by a slider 131 , which will be described below with greater detail.
  • Each of the facing walls has an attaching element 120 for engaging an elastic member (not shown) so as to pressure fit the electronic device.
  • the frame 100 is further provided with a second slider 130, both sliders 130, 131 being located on sides of the frame substantially perpendicular to each other.
  • the slider 131 forms the third wall of the frame while the slider 130 is attached to one of the walls of the frame from which it protrudes.
  • the sliders 130, 131 have a T-shaped section and comprise two lines of notches 135 on both sides of the proximal portion of the slider. According to the present embodiment, said notches 135 are substantially semi-cylindrical recesses.
  • Figure 2A illustrates one embodiment or example of another component of a mount bracket, comprising a holder 210 designed to cooperate with
  • a frame such as for example the frame 100.
  • the holder 210 has a guide 21 1 , adapted to receive one of the sliders 130 (see Figure 1 ); and an adapter 212, suitable for attaching the holder to a base, which in this case may be any substantially flat surface, such as a car dashboard.
  • One of the sliders 130 is slidably inserted into the guide 21 1 and, thanks to a protrusion 223 located in one of the walls of the guide, it is selectively press fitted in one of the notches 135 of the slider. In this way, the frame 100 is capable of sliding along the guide 21 1 to the desired position.
  • the holder 210 may be further provided with an element for attachment to a base, in this example a self-adhesive surface 230, that attaches it to the base or external element.
  • Figure 2B shows a holder according to another embodiment.
  • the holder 220 is further provided with a hinge 224 between the guide 221 and the adapter 222, such that changing the orientation of the device is thus allowed.
  • the guide is provided with a protrusion 213 on one of the walls thereof.
  • the adapter 222 is substantially curved so as to be able to engage a curved surface, such as a bicycle handlebar.
  • Figure 3 shows the frame 100 in Figure 1 attached to a holder 320 according to a further embodiment, in a horizontal and substantially centred position.
  • the frame 100 has the same parts as indicated in figure 1 , this perspective also showing the second line of notches 135 of the slider 130 that is not attached to the holder 320 and the channel 1 15 of the wall that is not provided with slider.
  • the holder 320 comprises a guide 321 , an adapter 322 and, in addition, an attaching element 323, which in this case is a threaded element, such as for example a screw, which makes it possible to attach the holder 320 to bases with a corresponding nut, such as a tripod or a selfie stick.
  • an attaching element 323 which in this case is a threaded element, such as for example a screw, which makes it possible to attach the holder 320 to bases with a corresponding nut, such as a tripod or a selfie stick.
  • the slider 130 of the frame 100 slides through the guide 321 to a corresponding notch into the desired position. Once said position is reached, the frame remains attached due to the pressure that is exerted on the notch by a protrusion (not shown) equivalent to the protrusions 213, 223 shown in Figures 2A, 2B.
  • the holder may be an element independent of the frame or of the mount bracket that comprises the frame, and therefore, each piece may be designed independently.
  • the frame may be designed to couple different types of electronic devices, such as smartphones, tablets or cameras; or also different models of the same electronic device.
  • the holder may be designed to fit a wide variety of different bases, such as helmets, bicycle handlebars or tripods.
  • all of the frames can be coupled to the different holders, making it possible to attach different devices (with their corresponding frame) to the same holder or the same frame can be attached to different bases thanks to the different adapters provided in the holders.
  • the mount bracket is therefore very versatile.
  • both the frame and the holder may be independent elements and they may be designed, manufactured and/or marketed separately.
  • the user may choose the frame intended for the desired electronic device, for example a smartphone, and one or several holders to place it in different external elements, such as for example a tripod and a helmet.
  • the mount bracket, together with its elements (independent or not), allows a great variety of combinations of devices as well as possible external elements to which they can be attached, in a safe, easy and quick way, thanks to the different holders.
  • the frame, the holder, or both may be made of polyamide, such as for example polyamide 6 (PA 6) with fiberglass, such as 15% fiberglass.
