Mounting Apparatus for Portable Devices

Abstract

A mounting apparatus for portable devices allows a user to attach or detach a portable device such as a beverage container to various surfaces or objects such as, but not limited to, outdoor equipment. The mounting apparatus includes an anchoring base, a portable device, and an interconnecting fastening mechanism integrated between the anchoring base and the portable device. The anchoring base is a structural support that can be mounted to various surfaces or objects through a base fastener. The anchoring base can receive a portable device and can be attached to the anchoring base through the interconnecting fastener. With a beverage container fastened within the anchoring base, a user can attach or detach the beverage container to various surfaces or objects through the anchoring base.
