ADAPTERS FOR ATTACHING ACCESSORIES TO MOBILE ELECTRONIC DEVICES
First Claim
1. An adapter for using an optical component that is configured to securely and removably attach to both a first mobile electronic device and a second mobile electronic device that is a different size than the first mobile electronic device, the adapter comprising:
- a first portion configured to secure the adapter to the optical component; and
a movable spacing member extending from the first portion, the spacing member configured to move between a first position in which the first portion is configured to attach securely and removably to a first mobile electronic device and a second position in which the first portion is configured to attach securely and removably to a second mobile electronic device that is a different size than the first mobile electronic device.

Abstract
In some embodiments, an auxiliary optical system comprises an adapter that is either separable from or unitary with a retainer. The adapter permits the retainer to removably attach to a plurality of mobile electronic devices of different sizes. In some embodiments, an auxiliary optical system comprises a mounting component configured to removably attach to a mobile electronic device and to a base which includes a plurality of attachable subcomponent securement members. Each securement member is configured to receive at least one optical element. In some embodiments, an auxiliary optical system comprises a retainer component configured to removably receive an optical element and to removably receive a non-optical component and/or an electronic component.
