Apparatus capable of self-adjusting and retaining a device thereon

Abstract

A self-adjusting and retaining apparatus is provided having an elongated base and at least one holder rotatably connected to the elongated base. The elongated base contains means for removably connecting to a surface and at least one connection point. In addition, the holder contains at least one holder rotatably connected to the elongated base via the connection point. Further, the holder contains a back portion connected that is rotatably connected to the elongated base and extending in a first plane, a bottom portion connected to the back portion, wherein the bottom portion extends in a second place that is not parallel to the first plane, and an end stop connected to the bottom portion of the holder, wherein the bottom portion meets the end stop at an angle.

1 . A self-adjusting and retaining apparatus, comprising:
 an elongated base having means for removably connecting to a surface and at least one connection point; and   at least one holder rotatably connected to the elongated base via the connection point, wherein the holder further comprises;
 a back portion, rotatably connected to the elongated base and extending in a first plane; 
 a bottom portion connected to the back portion, wherein the bottom portion extends in a second plane that is not parallel to the first plane; and 
 an end stop connected to the bottom portion of the holder, wherein the bottom portion meets the end stop at an angle. 
   
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the back portion is triangular in shape. 
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the apparatus contains more than one holder in an elongated array along the elongated base. 
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the connection between the holder and the elongated base allows for the holder to rotate in a clockwise direction and a counterclockwise direction. 
   
   
       5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the means for removably connecting to a surface is a bolt-hole. 
   
   
       6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the angle is equal to or less than ninety degrees. 
   
   
       7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the holder further comprises a bar located on the bottom portion of the holder, wherein the bar prevents an object resting in the holder from falling forward out of the holder. 
   
   
       8 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the bar is located closer to the back portion of the holder than to the end stop. 
   
   
       9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the second plane in which the bottom portion extends, is perpendicular to the first plane. 
   
   
       10 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the holder further comprises multiple bars located on the bottom portion of the holder, wherein the bars prevent objects resting in the holder from falling forward out of the holder.
