Patent ID: 7922137

Claim:
An apparatus for holding a device, the apparatus comprising: a support including a body, a first pair of projections, and a second pair of projections extending from the body in a generally planar configuration to provide a support surface for the device, each of the projections of the first and second pairs of projections having a first end opposite the body, the support further including a supplemental support member attached to the first ends of each of the projections of the first pair of projections, the supplemental support member being disposed along the generally planar configuration; a pair of opposing arm members, each of the pair of opposing arm members being pivotally attached to a respective first end of one of the projections of either the first or second pairs of projections, each of the pair of opposing arm members being individually rotatable about the respective first end of one of the projections so that rotation of at least one of the arm members changes an effective support size of the apparatus to support devices of different shapes without altering the support surface of the support; and a plurality of connectors operable to secure the device to the apparatus, a first one of the connectors being attached to the supplemental support member, a second one of the connectors being attached to a first one of the pair of arm members, and a third one of the connectors being attached to a second one of the pair of arm members; wherein the first pair of projections and the second pair of projections are arranged in an X-shaped configuration.
