Abstract:
A wireless charging phone retention assembly includes a housing having a phone contact charging surface positioned in a cavity of the housing, the cavity having an upwardly directed opening. A wheel-support frame is rotatably connected to the housing and rotates into and at least partially out of the cavity. A wheel is rotatably connected to the wheel-support housing. A resilient material defines a wheel outer surface of the wheel. When a wireless phone is received in the cavity in a downward direction the wireless phone contacts the resilient material and thereby rotates and displaces the wheel, with the wireless phone being retained against the charging surface by contact with the wheel.
