These devices are designed to securely mount a mobile phone onto a wheelchair, providing hands-free access to the device. Functionality ranges from basic clamps to sophisticated articulated arms, accommodating various phone sizes and wheelchair designs. A simple example is a spring-loaded clamp attached to a wheelchair armrest, allowing a user to easily view and interact with their phone.
The use of these accessories offers significant benefits, promoting independence and enhancing communication. Historically, individuals with mobility limitations often faced challenges in using mobile phones while navigating their environment. These mounting solutions address this by enabling easier access to navigation apps, communication tools, entertainment, and emergency services. This, in turn, contributes to increased personal safety and overall quality of life.
