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.
