Abstract

A mount assembly for a personal electronic device includes first and second separate mounts, each mount having a generally planar back face having a rear, wall mount surface and a forward surface. A planar front face extends parallel to the back face. A side face extends between the back face and the front face. A bottom face extends between the back face and the front face. The bottom face has an upper surface and an under surface. The back face, the front face, the side face, and the bottom face of each of the first and second mounts form a receiver having an opening disposed away from each side face, such that, when the first mount and the second mount are mounted on a wall, the opening in the first mount receiver is proximate the opening in the second mount receiver.

Claims

1. A mount assembly for a personal electronic device comprising:

a first mount and a second mount, each of the first and second mounts having;

a generally planar back face having;

a rear, wall mount surface; and

a forward surface;

a generally planar front face extending generally parallel to the back face;

a side face extending between the back face and the front face; and

a bottom face extending between the back face and the front face, the bottom face having;

an upper surface;

and

an under surface;

wherein the back face further comprises a stub portion extending from the forward surface, the stub portion and a portion of each back face defining a vertical slot formed between the stub portion and the back face;

and

wherein the back face, the front face, the side face, and the bottom face of each of the first and second mounts form a receiver having an opening disposed away from each side face, such that, when the first mount and the second mount are mounted on a wall, the opening in the first mount receiver is proximate the opening in the second mount receiver.

2. The mount assembly according to claim 1, wherein the first mount further comprises a first cord retainer clip extending from the back face.

3. The mount assembly according to claim 2, wherein the second mount further comprises a second cord retainer clip extending from the back face, wherein the second cord retainer clip is a different size than the first cord retainer clip.

4. The mount assembly according to claim 2, wherein the first cord retainer clip further comprises a receiver adapted to receive a pull tab on an adhesive strip.

5. The mount assembly according to claim 1, wherein the first mount further comprises a retaining arm extending outward from the forward surface of the back face.

6. The mount assembly according to claim 1, wherein each stub portion is adapted to engage a rear portion of a personal electronic device.

7. The mount assembly according to claim 1, wherein each bottom face comprises:

a first portion extending from and generally perpendicular to each front face; and

a second portion extending from and generally oblique to each back face.

8. The mount assembly according to claim 7, wherein each second portion has a generally curved device engaging surface.

9. The mount assembly according to claim 1, wherein each side face has at least one opening extending therethrough, each opening being sized to allow an electronic cable connection to extend therethrough.

10. The mount assembly according to claim 1, further comprising an adhesive strip removably attached to the rear, wall mount surface of each back face.

11. A mount assembly for a personal electronic device comprising:

a first mount and a second mount, each of the first and second mounts having;

a generally planar back face having;

a rear, wall mount surface; and

a forward surface;

a generally planar front face extending generally parallel to the back face;

a side face extending between the back face and the front face; and

a bottom face extending between the back face and the front face, the bottom face having;

an upper surface; and

an under surface;

wherein the back face, the front face, the side face, and the bottom face of each of the first and second mounts form a receiver having an opening disposed away from each side face, such that, when the first mount and the second mount are mounted on a wall, the opening in the first mount receiver is proximate the opening in the second mount receiver; and

wherein each side face comprises a ridge extending vertically above and beyond the respective back face.

12. A mount assembly for a portable electronic device comprising:

a first mount and a second mount, separate from the first mount, each of the first mount and the second mount comprising;

a rear portion having an adhesive retaining surface;

a forward portion;

a bottom portion connecting the rear portion to the forward portion;

a side portion connecting the rear portion, the bottom portion, and the forward portion to each other, the side portion extending in a plane;

a releasable adhesive pull tab securing slot extending forward from the rear portion;

wherein the first mount further comprises a first cord clip extending downwardly from the rear portion, the first cord clip having a first size; and

wherein the second mount further comprises a second cord clip extending downwardly from the rear portion.

13. The mount assembly according to claim 12, wherein each cord clip comprises an arcuate finger.

14. The mount assembly according to claim 12, further comprising a releasable adhesive releasably mounted to each rear portion.

15. The mount assembly according to claim 12, wherein each of the first mount and the second mount further comprises a slot adapted to retain a releasable adhesive pull tab.

16. The mount assembly according to claim 15, wherein each slot is formed in each rear portion.

17. The mount assembly according claim 15, wherein each slot extends outward generally horizontally from each rear portion.

18. The mount assembly according to claim 12, wherein each side portion comprises a ridge extending beyond the respective rear portion.

19. The mount assembly according to claim 12, further comprising an arm extending outwardly from the rear portion of the first mount.
