Abstract

An anchoring apparatus for device holder is provided, including a base, a connection module and an engaging unit. The base is heavy in weight, including a frame, at least a stuffing, and a covering part. The covering part covers the stuffing and the frame, and has an anti-slippery cloth and an anti-slippery pad, which form the bottom surface of the base. The stuffing is made of heavy material in the form of grains or powder. The frame includes a coupling part located outside of the covering part. The connection module is located between the base and the engaging unit. The manner of connection between the connection module and the base, and between the connection module and the engaging unit is coupling to allow the angle adjustment between these components. The engaging unit includes a buckle part with design matching the engaging component of the device holder. The center of mass of the engaging unit and the connection module is within the area of the base so that the anchoring apparatus ahs a low center of mass and provides stable anchoring to the device holder.

Claims

1. An anchoring apparatus for device holder, comprising a base, a connection module, and an engaging unit;

wherein;

said base having a sufficient weight, further comprising a frame, at least a stuffing and a covering part, said stuffing having sufficient weight, said covering part covering said stuffing and the majority of said frame, said frame further comprising a coupling part, said coupling part located outside of said covering part, said covering part having an anti-slippery cloth and an anti-slippery pad, the bottom surface of said base comprising said anti-slippery cloth and said anti-slippery pad;

the bottom of said connection module being coupled with said coupling part of said base and the top of said connection module being coupled with said engaging unit for allowing adjustment of the angles between said connection module, said base and said engaging unit; and

said engaging unit being coupled with said connection module, said engaging unit further comprising a buckle unit, the shape of said buckle unit being designed to match the shape of the component to be engaged to.

2. The anchoring apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said connection module further comprises a first connection element and a second connection element, said first connection element has the bottom coupled with said coupling part of said base and the top coupled with said second connection element, and said second connection element has the other side coupled with said engaging unit.

3. The anchoring apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said stuffing is made of sufficiently heavy material in the form of grains or powder, and said material can be sand, pebble, iron blocks, or any combination of the above.

4. The anchoring apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said buckle part of said engaging unit provides engagement to a device holder.

5. The anchoring apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the center of mass of said connection module and said engaging unit falls within the area of said base.

6. The anchoring apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said connection module is engaged to an antenna unit.

7. The anchoring apparatus as claimed in claim 6, wherein said antenna unit is a retractable antenna.
