CELL PHONE STAND
First Claim
1. A cell phone stand comprising:
- a base having a bottom end and a top end disposed above the bottom end, a mounting pier formed on the top end of the base to extend upwardly therefrom;
a cell phone mounting bracket rotatably affixed to the mounting pier around a horizontal axis and having first and second jaws, the first jaw having a first u-shaped channel with a first upper segment and the second jaw having a second u-shaped channel with a second upper segment disposed in parallel to the first upper segment, the second jaw movable in respect of the first jaw so that a width, taken in a direction parallel to the horizontal axis, may be selectable by a user so as to fit a width of a cell phone received by the cell phone mounting bracket, means for affixing the second jaw to the first jaw in any of a plurality of positions; and
the first u-shaped channel further having a first lower segment and the second u-shaped channel further having a second lower segment, the first and second lower segments being aligned with each other and disposed in a plane parallel to the horizontal axis, the first and second lower segments adapted to hold a lower end of the cell phone.

Abstract
A cell phone stand has a base and a cell phone mounting bracket rotatably affixed to the base around a horizontal axis. The mounting bracket has a first jaw and a second jaw that is movable in a horizontal direction with respect to the first jaw. The first jaw has a first u-shaped channel with a first upper segment and a first lower segment. The second jaw has a second u-shaped channel with a second upper segment and a second lower segment. By adjusting the position of the jaws, the user may adjust a width between the first and upper segments, thus sizing the mounting bracket to receive a cell phone of a particular width. Even at the smallest such width, inner ends of the first and second lower segments of the u-shaped channels remain spaced from each other so as to permit the cell phone to be connected to an electrical cable while being held by the stand.
