Flexible mounting devices for navigational/entertainment displays,
especially for in-vehicle use, are described herein. In an embodiment,
the flexible mounting device comprises a flexible gooseneck, a magnetic
base magnetically attached to a front end of the gooseneck for holding a
display, and a windshield suction attached to a back end of the gooseneck
for providing windshield support from the rear by suctioning to the
windshield of a vehicle. In another embodiment, the flexible mounting
device comprises a flexible neck, which may be firmly attached to the
dashboard of a vehicle with a sticky gel pad. The mounting device also
comprises a counter weight attached to a back end of the flexible neck.
The display is fixed to a front end of the flexible neck such that the
display protrudes beyond the dashboard. The counter weight at the back
end of the flexible neck counter balances the weight of the display at
the front end, and thereby helps to provide a stable support.
