Abstract

A mobile telephone holder includes at least one charging coil that is movable between at least two different positions. When a mobile telephone is positioned within an accommodation device of the holder, the position of the charging coil in the accommodation device can be changed to make charging of the mobile telephone battery as efficient as possible. The mobile telephone holder allows for charging of telephones of different configurations and for orienting telephones in different orientations.

Claims

1. A holder for a mobile telephone that includes at least one telephone charging coil, the holder comprising an accommodation device with a contact surface for accommodating the mobile telephone, wherein the holder has at least one charging coil and a positioning device, the at least one charging coil being able to be put in at least two different positions by the positioning device relative to the mobile telephone that is in the accommodation device.

2. The holder according to claim 1, wherein the positioning device is a movement device, by means of which the at least one charging coil can be moved into at least two different positions along a plane.

3. The holder according to claim 2, wherein the at least one charging coil can be moved along a plane in at least two different directions by the movement device.

4. The holder according to claim 2, characterized by the fact that the at least one charging coil can be moved steplessly by the movement device.

5. The holder according to one claim 1, wherein the accommodation device is designed so that it is adjustable, in order to be able to hold mobile telephones of varying dimensions.

6. The holder according to claim 1, wherein the holder comprises at least one first sensor for collecting sensor data, which act as a measurement of how efficiently the battery of a mobile telephone is charged when the mobile telephone is situated in the accommodation device.

7. The holder according to claim 6, wherein the holder has a signaling device for emitting signals, depending on the sensor data collected by the at least one first sensor.

8. The holder according to one claim 1, wherein the holder can be put in a hold position and a release position, the accommodation device interlocking positively with the mobile telephone when in the hold position, and the mobile telephone being removable from the accommodation device when in the release position, wherein the holder includes at least one second sensor through which it can be ascertained whether a mobile telephone is in the accommodation device, when the accommodation device is in the hold position.

9. The holder according to claim 8, wherein the holder is equipped to emit a signal if there is no mobile telephone in the accommodation device when it is in the hold position.

10. A system with a holder according to claim 1 and a mobile telephone which can be placed in the accommodation unit of the holder.
