Problems solved by technology

Insertion and removal are thus not easy, especially if the user can only use one hand to perform this action, because in order to fit the phone in the cradle, the fixing pin must be precisely aligned with the fixing hole
In addition, this traditional solution requires very strict design rules for both the phone casing and the stand, that is, the form and location of the fixing holes and pins are not flexible enough
Providing such a receiving location in the housing increases the costs and severely limits the possibility of designing a corresponding mobile phone

Embodiment Construction

[0028]In FIG. 1 , a three-dimensional view of a support according to the invention is shown, which is generally designated with reference numeral 2 . The cradle is designed to receive a mobile phone 4 which is to be plugged on the top side of the cradle. The stand essentially comprises a rear support surface 6 , two left and right side walls 8 , two rails 10 (shown as integral rails in the figure) and a bottom 12 . The rear support surface 6 , the side walls 8 and the rails 10 define a slot for receiving a side portion of the mobile phone 4 . The mobile phone 4 is plugged onto the top of the cradle, as indicated by the arrow, and is then guided down in the slot to the bottom of the cradle. It should be noted that in this figure, a folding or clamshell mobile phone is depicted. Of course, such a phone must be usable when it is received in the cradle. To enable the phone to open to its operative configuration in the cradle, only the rear (in closed position) or lower part 18 ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a cradle for a mobile phone, comprising a rear supporting surface, left and right side walls, two guide rails being located on the front side of the left and right side walls and protruding laterally from the side walls, a bottom part comprising a connector element for mechanically and electrically engaging a bottom connector of the mobile phone. The rear supporting surface, the side walls and the guide rails limit left and right slots extending parallel to the side walls for receiving left and right side sections of the mobile phone, guiding a phone being inserted into the cradle to the bottom part, resisting a force which acts in a direction substantially perpendicular to the slots and retaining the mobile phone in the cradle. The connector element comprises a device for locking on the bottom connector of the mobile phone in the cradle and retaining the mobile phone in the cradle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a cradle for a mobile phone, and more particularly to a cradle for mounting in a vehicle. Background technique [0002] Holding devices or so-called cradles for mobile phones are commonly used in vehicles for mechanically supporting the device and for electrically connecting it to a hands-free device and / or an external antenna installed in the vehicle. There are also other auxiliary devices that can be connected to the phone through the cradle, such as external speakers. Such a mount has to meet various requirements which are basically related to the user's grip, the mechanical stability of the mount, as well as the support performance for the mobile device and the reliability of the electrical contact. [0003] The mechanical stability mainly depends on the strength of the support. The stand should be designed to withstand various gripping actions by the user. Furthermore, the mount should also be designed to proper...
