FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing my new design for a smartphone or tablet computer mounting device.

FIG. 2 is a front view thereof.

FIG. 3 is a top view thereof.

FIG. 4 is a left side view thereof.

FIG. 5 is a bottom view thereof.

FIG. 6 is a right side view thereof.

FIG. 7 is a back view thereof.

FIG. 8 is a front view showing use of my new design for a smartphone or tablet computer mounting device with a non-claimed clamp attachment, the clamp attachment being attached to a side ball.

FIG. 9 is a front view showing use of my new design for a smartphone or tablet computer mounting device with a non-claimed clamp attachment, the clamp attachment being attached to the top ball.

FIG. 10 is a front view showing my new design for a smartphone or tablet computer mounting device in a telescoped configuration.

FIG. 11 is a front view of a shorter embodiment of my invention. All other views of this embodiment are identical to those of FIGS. 1-7 except for the length of the lower column.

FIG. 12 is a front view of a still shorter embodiment of my invention. All other views of this embodiment are identical to those of FIGS. 1-7 except for the length of the lower column.

FIG. 13 is a front view of the upper column and ball attaches of the first embodiment; and,

FIG. 14 is a sectional view of the section 14 - 14 of FIG. 13 .

The broken lines showing the clamp attachment and its association with the attachment device in FIGS. 8-9 form no part of the claimed design, but are included for the purpose of illustrating the nature and intended use thereof. The broken lines on the bottom screw in FIG. 5 indicate a boundary of the unclaimed region. The broken lines in the sectional view of FIG. 14 indicate a boundary of the unclaimed region of the hole in the ball attaches, and of the tube wall of the inner telescoping tube.
