Abstract

A cellular phone mounting assembly includes a panel that has a front side, a back side, an upper edge, a lower edge, a first side edge and a second side edge. A foot is attached to and extends forward of the lower edge. A shoulder is attached to and extends rearwardly from the upper edge to form an obtuse angle with the panel. A support is attached to and extends downwardly from the shoulder. A clip is removably attached to and extends rearwardly from the support. The clip engages an automobile console.

First claim

1 . A cellular phone receiving and mounting assembly, said assembly being configured to retain the cellular phone at an angle, said assembly comprising:
a panel having a front side, a back side, an upper edge, a lower edge, a first side edge and a second side edge; a foot being attached to and extending forward of said lower edge, wherein an angle between said foot and said front side being an obtuse angle, said foot having a distal edge with respect to said lower edge; a lip being attached to and extending upwardly from said distal edge, an angle between said lip and said foot being less than or equal to 90°; a shoulder being attached to and extending rearwardly from said upper edge and forming an obtuse angle with said panel; a support being attached to and extending downwardly form said shoulder; and a clip being removably attached to and extending rearwardly from said support, said clip being configured to engage an automobile console.

2 . (canceled)

3 . The cellular phone receiving and mounting assembly according to claim 1 , said support being hingedly coupled to said shoulder and being movable being a stored position forming an acute angle with said shoulder or in a deployed position forming an angle with said shoulder being between 100° and 130°.

4 . The cellular phone receiving and mounting assembly according to claim 1 , further including a flange being attached to said support distal to said shoulder.

5 . The cellular phone receiving and mounting assembly according to claim 1 , further including a retainer being attached to said panel, said retainer being configured to engage the cellular phone when the cellular phone is positioned on said foot.

6 . The cellular phone receiving and mounting assembly according to claim 5 , wherein said retainer includes a head and a post attached to said head, said post slidably extending downwardly into said panel through said upper edge, said head being movable toward or away from said upper edge, said head extending forward such that said head is configured to be abutted against the cellular phone.

7 . The cellular phone receiving and mounting assembly according to claim 6 , further including a tripod mount extending upwardly into said lower edge of said panel.

8 . A cellular phone receiving and mounting assembly, said assembly being configured to retain the cellular phone at an angle, said assembly comprising:
a panel having a front side, a back side, an upper edge, a lower edge, a first side edge and a second side edge; a foot being attached to and extending forward of said lower edge, an angle between said foot and said front side being an obtuse angle, said foot having a distal edge with respect to said lower edge, a lip being attached to and extending upwardly from said distal edge, an angle between said lip and said foot being less than or equal to 90°; a shoulder being attached to and extending rearwardly from said upper edge and forming an obtuse angle with said panel; a support being attached to and extending downwardly form said shoulder, said support being hingedly coupled to said shoulder and being movable being a stored position forming an acute angle with said shoulder or in a deployed position forming an angle with said shoulder being between 100° and 130°; a flange being attached to said support distal to said shoulder, said flange being hingedly coupled to said support; a clip being removably attached to and extending rearwardly from said support, said clip being configured to engage an automobile console; a retainer being attached to said panel, said retainer being configured to engage the cellular phone when the cellular phone is positioned on said foot, said retainer including a head and a post attached to said head, said post slidably extending downwardly into said panel through said upper edge, said head being movable toward or away from said upper edge, said head extending forward such that said head is configured to be abutted against the cellular phone; and a tripod mount extending upwardly into said lower edge of said panel.
