[0002] In order to provide a portable multimedia interface, a vehicle commonly features a removable electronic device holder. The holder, commonly referred to as a phone holder, allows this removable electronic device to be kept within the field of vision of the driver or a passenger, by orienting the display screen towards the user.

[0003] Such a retaining device must allow for both firm positioning of the device and rapid clamping. This function is ensured by a clamping mechanism that closes by manually bringing its jaws together. Releasing the removable electronic device must also be ergonomic when the user wishes to retrieve it. This action is generally performed by applying force to spread the jaws apart.

[0004] In certain situations, a user uses the phone holder as a handle when entering the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle. The user leans on or pulls against the holder and exerts significant force. This force is likely to damage the phone holder, for example, by tearing it off or damaging the moving parts. The force may be in the direction of the pulling force, or in the opposite direction.

[0088] According to an alternative or option of the invention, the retaining device includes adhesive fixing the element, in particular to the front wall.

[0089] According to one embodiment, the retaining device comprises a first junction and a second junction which are connected to the movable slide, which pass through a first slot and a second slot respectively, and which slide against the elastic barriers of a first element and a second element. Preferably, the first element and the second element are identical.

[0090] The present embodiment is described with respect to two junctions connecting the second retaining member to the movable slide. However, the invention also proposes a retaining device with a single junction, or three junctions, connecting the second retaining member to the movable slide. The retaining device may comprise one or any other number of elements 50.

[0091] Figure 6 shows an element 50 with at least one elastic barrier 52 for a motor vehicle restraint device, according to an embodiment of the invention. The motor vehicle may correspond to the one shown in relation to one of figures 1 to 5.

[0092] The element 50 has a body with a rectangular shape extending over the entire length of the slot 34. The rectangle has a principal axis along the slot 34. The body forms a plate, or an insert.

[0093] At least one elastic barrier 52 blocks the slot 34. It forms an obstacle against the entry of foreign bodies. The at least one elastic barrier 52 comprises a first elastic barrier 68 and a second elastic barrier 70 along the slot 34 (shown in dashed lines). In this case, these barriers are a lower elastic barrier and an upper elastic barrier. They are parallel and flush.

[0094] The element 50 includes a notch 72 extending along the slot 34, between the first elastic barrier 68 and the second elastic barrier 70. The notch 72 is delimited by at least one elastic barrier 52. The notch 72 has a width of at most 1 mm, preferably at most 0.50 mm, and more preferably at most 0.20 mm. This proximity between the first elastic barrier 68 and the second elastic barrier 70 makes it possible to close the slot 34 and prevent the entry of foreign bodies, and in particular dust that could clog the retention system mechanism. According to one option of the invention, the first elastic barrier touches the second elastic barrier.

[0095] It is understood that in use, when the junction 62 translates along the slot 34, and therefore along the notch 72, each elastic barrier 52 moves apart locally. After passing through the junction 62, the elastic barrier 52 returns to its initial position due to its elastic property. Thus, the closure of the slot is ensured regardless of the position of the junction 62.

[0096] The element 50 includes one or more fastening cutouts 74. The fastening cutouts 74 include fastening holes and fastening grooves. The fastening holes are surrounded by the contour of the element 50, and the fastening grooves extend from the contour of the element 50. Each fastening cutout 74 is spaced away from the slot 34. Each fastening cutout 74 is associated with, and / or is traversed by, one of the retaining tabs.

[0097] Preferably, the retaining tab(s) is formed on the front wall. Alternatively, the retaining tab(s) is formed on the fixing portion.

[0098] The at least one elastic barrier 52 comprises at least one elastic lip. Each elastic lip is continuous along the slot 34, preventing foreign bodies from entering. The junction is able to slide against each elastic lip. Each elastic lip has a contoured shape. Its shape is generated by an identical profile along the slot. This feature improves the closure of the slot.

[0099] The elastic barrier 52, and therefore the element 50, comprises a rubbery material. The elastic barrier 52 comprises an elastomer; preferably, the elastic barrier 52 comprises ethylene propylene diene monomer, also known by the acronym "EPDM". The elastomeric material exhibits viscoelastic behavior. This characteristic improves the reduction of junction vibrations.

[0100] According to one embodiment, the element comprises a single elastic lip extending over the entire width of the slot. The width of the slot is perpendicular to the direction of movement of the junction.

[0101] According to a preferred embodiment, the front wall is made of a plastic or composite material. The plastic material may include a thermoplastic or thermosetting material. According to a preferred embodiment, the plastic material is selected from the group comprising polypropylene, polyamide, polyphthalamide, polyetheretherketone, polyphenylene sulfide, polyamide-imide, polyetherimide, polyarylamide, polyepoxide, unsaturated polyester, vinyl ester, or polyester-vinylester resins. For example, the composite material comprises a matrix of a plastic material as described above with reinforcement. For example, the reinforcement comprises glass or carbon fibers.

[0102] The front panel comprises at least 10% by weight of recycled plastic material based on the total weight of the plastic material; preferably from 10 to 80% by weight; more preferably from 20 to 60% by weight or from 30 to 40% by weight. The use of recycled plastic material reduces the vehicle's environmental footprint.

[0103] According to one embodiment, the first retaining member and the second retaining member comprise the same material as the front wall.

[0104] According to an alternative of the invention, at least one elastic barrier comprises at least one brush seal, in particular with bristles perpendicular to the slot.

[0105] The invention comprises the combination of all the embodiments illustrated by all the figures.

[0106] Figures 2 to 6 are isometric views. They each respect a specific scale, real angles and real proportions.
