Apparatus for securing a mobile device to a steering wheel

Abstract

The subject matter discloses an apparatus for securing a mobile device to a steering wheel, comprising: a main flap connected to a rear surface of the mobile device, said main flap is made of a rigid material; a holder attached to the main flap, said holder secures the mobile device to the main flap; an elliptic unit extending from the main flap and surrounding the steering wheel. The apparatus may be part of a kit that also comprises a second holder attached to the rear surface of the mobile device, said second holder is in contact with the first holder.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus for securing a mobile device to a steering wheel, comprising:
 a main flap connected to a rear surface of the mobile device, said main flap is made of a rigid material;   a holder attached to the main flap, said holder secures the mobile device to the main flap; and   an elliptic unit extending from the main flap and surrounding the steering wheel.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the holder is a magnet embedded within the main flap. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the main flap comprises a niche in which the magnet is located. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising an elastic pad surrounding the magnet. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the holder comprises a gripping unit extending from the main flap, and wherein said gripping unit comprises a plurality of arms that limit the movement of the mobile device to a predefined distance from the main flap. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the plurality of arms extend perpendicularly from a surface of the main flap. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the plurality of arms limit the mobile device to fall to one of the sides of the main flap and from falling downwards. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a first plate extending from the main flap and connecting the main flap to a proximal end of the elliptic unit and a second plate extending from a distal end of the elliptic unit. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the first plate and the second plate are attached using one or more screws. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , further comprising an adjustment unit for adjusting the size of the elliptic unit for various widths of steering wheels, the adjustment unit comprising one or more screws for attaching the first plate and the second plate from the two ends of the elliptic unit. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the first plate and the second plate are positioned in parallel. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the bolder comprises one or more vacuum pads. 
     
     
         13 . A kit, comprising:
 a main flap located in proximity to a rear surface of the mobile device, said main flap is made of a rigid material;   a first holder attached to the main flap, said holder secures the mobile device to the main an elliptic unit extending from the main flap and surrounding the steering wheel; and   a second holder attached to the rear surface of the mobile device, said second holder is in contact with the first bolder.
