Description

[0001] The innovation concerns a device for holding objects, in particular mobile phones, in the area of ​​a vehicle.

[0002] DE 20 2021 103 059 U1 discloses a holder for beverage containers and / or telecommunications terminals in a motor vehicle. The holder is adjustable between a folded-in position integrated into the dashboard and a folded-out position. In the folded-in position integrated into the dashboard, the holder is arranged in a compartment in the dashboard. The holder is preferably releasably attached to the inside of the compartment intended for accommodating an ashtray.

[0003] Due to the large number of components, such mounts are relatively complex and therefore expensive. Furthermore, they are limited to existing recesses in the dashboard area, especially for ashtrays.

[0004] The aim of the innovation is to provide a device for holding objects, in particular mobile phones, in the interior of a vehicle, which can also use alternative holding areas in the interior of a vehicle.

[0005] This aim is achieved by a device for holding objects, in particular mobile telephones, in the interior of a vehicle, with an adapter element that can be positioned in the area of ​​a corresponding vehicle-side holder and a guide element provided with a foot for receiving the respective object, wherein the foot is arranged in the area of ​​the adapter element and is movable relative to the adapter element.

[0006] Advantageous further developments of the subject matter of the innovation can be found in the subclaims.

[0007] Deviating from the state of the art, the innovative device can be used, for example, in the area of ​​a cup holder in a wide variety of vehicles. Cup holders are either static, for example, on the dashboard, or movable on various vehicle components. Depending on the contour of the cup holder, the adapter element simply needs to be adapted to this contour.

[0008] The adapter element is used to insert the new holder into the respective receiving area, in particular the cup holder, and can be removed again at any time.

[0009] Advantageously, the adapter element has an approximately pot-shaped or funnel-shaped cross-section, wherein the foot of the guide element is positioned in the open section of the adapter element and is movable, in particular pivotable, in the circumferential direction relative to the adapter element.

[0010] For this purpose, a toothed section can be provided between the adapter element and the base, via which the relative movement can be brought about.

[0011] If the object is a mobile phone or, for example, a makeup mirror, the viewing angle of the object can be changed by pressing a locking element. A spring return and toothing allow various angles of rotation to be achieved and locked. This allows the object to be turned toward the driver or the passenger.

[0012] Advantageously, a magnetic holder is provided in the area of ​​the guide element to hold the respective object.

[0013] Depending on the dimensions of the object, it may be advantageous for the magnetic holder to be adjustable relative to the guide element, particularly height-adjustable. If the object is a mobile phone, it can thus be attached to the magnetic holder lengthwise or crosswise.

[0014] According to a further concept of the innovation, the guide element can be provided with a recess, in the area of ​​which a slide, which accommodates the magnetic holder, can be moved, for example, via a corresponding additional toothing. Analogous to the pivoting movement of the base relative to the adapter element, a push button can also be provided in the area of ​​the slide, via which the slide can be moved along the toothing in a releaseable and lockable manner. Thus, the height of the object can be adjusted in many positions at the touch of a button.

[0015] It can be advantageous if the magnetic mount is designed as an inductive magnetic mount with a charging function for mobile phones. This allows the mobile phone to be charged or recharged while the vehicle is moving.

[0016] To achieve this, recesses are provided in the area of ​​the base of the guide element and the adapter element, through which at least one charging cable can be guided to the magnetic holder.

[0017] The subject matter of the innovation is illustrated by means of an embodiment in the drawings and is described as follows. The Fig. 1 to 10 show in various views and sections the innovative device for holding objects, in particular mobile telephones.

[0018] Fig. 1 shows the device for holding objects, in particular mobile telephones, which is provided with the reference number 1. It is formed by a pot- or funnel-shaped adapter element 2 and a guide element 4 provided with a base 3. The adapter element 2 can, for example, be inserted into a receptacle not shown here, e.g. a cup holder. In the upper area of ​​the adapter element 2 there is an annular rubber coating 5, which is positioned in the contact area for the receptacle, designed as a shoulder 5', and ensures that the adapter element 2 is firmly seated in the receptacle. In addition, the receptacle, e.g. a cup holder, is also protected from scratches. The entire device 1 can thus be easily inserted into the respective vehicle-side receptacle and removed again.A magnetic holder 6 is operatively connected to the guide element 4, which is height-adjustable relative to the guide element 4 (see arrow). The magnetic holder 6 is operatively connected to a carriage 7, which is movable within a recess 8 of the guide element 4. A toothing 9 is visible. Also visible is a push button 10, which is positioned on the base 3 of the guide element 4. Its function will be described later. Furthermore, a recess 11 is visible in the base 3.

[0019] Fig. 2 shows another representation of the Fig. 1. Identical components are provided with the same reference numerals. Additionally visible here is a recess 12 in the lower area of ​​the adapter element 2. Also visible is a plug connection 13 on the magnetic holder 6. Not shown, but easily understood, is that a charging cable can be led through the recesses 12 and 11 into the area of ​​the plug connection 13. Any type of magnetic object, such as a makeup mirror or a mobile phone, can easily be arranged on the magnetic holder 6. For charging and recharging mobile phones, the magnetic holder 6 is designed as an inductive magnetic holder. This is represented by the curved support areas 14, 15 on the magnetic holder 6.

[0020] Fig. Figure 3 shows another view of the device 1. Here, too, identical components are provided with the same reference numerals. The following components are visible: the adapter element 2, the guide element 4 with the base 3, the magnetic holder 6, the push button 10, the carriage 7, and the gearing 9. The gearing 9 is formed by a rack. Using a push button 16, the magnetic holder 6 can be moved up and down and locked in any position.

[0021] Fig. 4 shows a similar view to Fig. 3, whereby here too the same components are provided with the same reference numerals.

[0022] Fig. 5 shows a similar view to Fig. 1, where the same components are provided with the same reference numerals. Fig. 1, the magnetic holder 6 is in a lowered position.

[0023] Fig. Figure 6 shows the device 1 in a position in which the magnetic holder 6 is arranged in an elevated position. For example, a longer mobile phone (smartphone) could be attached lengthwise to the magnetic holder 6.

[0024] Fig. Figure 7 shows a vertical section through the device 1, with identical components being provided with the same reference numerals. In addition to the adapter element 2, the rubber coating 5 including the projection 5', the foot 3 and the guide element 4 operatively connected thereto, as well as the toothing 9 moving the carriage 7, can be seen. Analogous to the height adjustment of the magnetic holder 6, the foot 3, which rests within an open section 17 of the adapter element 2, can also be pivoted in the circumferential direction relative to the adapter element 2. Similar to the illustration in the preceding figures, a toothing 18 is also provided here, which is operatively connected to the push button 10 via spring elements (not illustrated).

[0025] Fig. 8 shows the toothing 18 attached to the base 3 as well as the section toothing 19 arranged on the inner area of ​​the adapter element 2.

[0026] Fig. Figure 9 shows a further section through the device 1. The guide element 4, the carriage 7, the magnetic holder 6, the toothing 9 and the push button 16 can be seen.

[0027] Fig. 10 shows a further section through the device 1. The toothing 9, the toothing 18, the adapter element 2, the rubber coating 5, the extension 5', the foot 3, the guide element 4 and the push button 10 can be seen. The adapter element 2 can be brought into operative connection with the foot 3 of the guide element 4 via a screw connection 20 which is only indicated.
