We're in need of adjusting one of the components of our product. We have an existing 3D model that we need adjusted. We are keeping the same top and bottom connection the same. The basic design is similar to a standard universal phone mount for a car. We want to use the same mechanism as shown in the pictures and then adjust it to our requirements.
The system will be 3 major components.
Part 1: Back piece that has top connection and bottom connection which won't be changed much except for the width. This area will be where the gears/spring/everything sits on.
Part 2: This will be the two "wing walls" that extrude left and right that will be sat on the back plate area.
Part 3: Will enclose this area and have a bottom stub where the phones sit.
We play on adding some little foam on the front of part 3 and on the insides of the wing walls.
We think that the gear mechanism can be reduced in size and that we can flip it so that they sit above the wing walls (and in the center of the system).

Actually, he will add foam to the phone mount, almost all design will have a good grip. The most important thing in this design is the wing walls stability when they are fully opened. if they are not stable, you will have a larger chance of damaging the inner components while closing the wing walls. i see a lot of designs here don't respect that.

What if I fully designed the parts with complete mechanism. do want to look at it?
Are the photos just examples of typical phone mounts or do they show a mechanism that you want to use in a new shape of your own?
The line drawings seem to be from different designs. One shows the wider portion at the top, whereas the other shows the wider portion at the bottom.The drawing with wider portion at the top also shows protruding features at top and bottom - what are these?
Could you please clarify, thanks. Neil
