Abstract

Disclosed is a device to be utilized in a vehicle to prevent a computing unit from overheating. The device includes a holder having a plurality of air vents, a plastic flexible hose, a shade, a reducer, and a plurality of alligator clips. The reducer is mounted on an air conditioning (AC) vent by utilizing the plurality of alligator clips. The holder includes a front portion and rear portion to accommodate the computing unit. The reducer is mounted in a way to guide the cool air to the plurality of air vents of the holder through the plastic flexible hose. The plurality of air vents is configured at a front portion of the holder to prevent the battery of the computing unit from overheating. Further, the shade is configured on a top portion of the holder to protect the computing unit from the sun.

Claims

1. A device to cool portable electronic devices, comprising:

a. A mobile device;

b. A holder adapted to receive and secure said mobile device;

c. Said holder having a front side, a rear side, a bottom end, and a top end;

d. Said holder having a plurality of air vents adapted to transfer cool air into the holder and allow hotter air from said mobile device to ventilate;

e. A hose having an expander port at a first distal end coupled to said rear side, said hose having a second distal end;

f. Said expander port having a taller end and a shorter end, said shorter end is connected to said hose, said taller end is connected to said rear side;

g. A shade member mounted to said top end extending forward from said front side away from said hose, said shade extending a sufficient distance to prevent sun glare;

h. A reducer having a larger end and an opposite smaller end, said reducer having a plurality of fasteners;

j. An air conditioning vent connected to said reducer'"'"'s larger end using said fasteners; and

k. said hose'"'"'s second distal end connected to said smaller end, said hose is adapted to guide cool air from said air conditioning vent to said expander port, said cool air is then transferred to said plurality of air vents from said expander port.

2. The device to cool portable electronic devices of claim 1 wherein said mobile device is a tablet, a phone, or a laptop.

3. The device to cool portable electronic devices of claim 1 wherein said hose is flexible.
