Abstract

An upper section of a biasing plate inside a holding section is pivotally supported at a position away from a mounting surface of a main body case, and a lower section thereof is inclined in a direction toward the mounting surface of the main body case. Since the lower section of the biasing plate is biased using a spring toward the mounting surface of the main body case, when a mobile phone is taken out, the upper section of the mobile phone can be pulled out forward and upward, furthermore, when the lower section of the mobile phone has passed through the lower section of the biasing plate, the lower section of the mobile phone is pushed upward by the biasing plate, whereby a click feeling is given to the user.

Claims

1. A vehicle-mounted mobile phone charging device comprising:

a main body case disposed in an upright state, and on a front surface side of which a mounting surface for a mobile phone is provided;

a charging coil provided on a back surface side of the mounting surface inside the main body case; and

a holding section disposed so as to cover a lower front surface side of the mounting surface of the main body case,

wherein the holding section has;

an insertion port for the mobile phone, the insertion portion being provided on an upper surface of the holding section; and

a biasing unit for biasing the mobile phone toward the mounting surface inside the holding section;

wherein the biasing unit has;

a biasing plate, an upper section of which is pivotally supported at a position away from the mounting surface of the main body case by a first predetermined distance and a lower section of which is installed so as to be inclined in a direction toward the mounting surface of the main body case; and

a spring for biasing the lower section of the biasing plate toward the mounting surface of the main body case.

2. The vehicle-mounted mobile phone charging device according to claim 1, wherein rotation biasing members are provided on both sides of the lower section of the biasing plate.

3. The vehicle-mounted mobile phone charging device according to claim 1, wherein the holding section is provided with a restriction section to stop the lower section of the biasing plate at a position away from the mounting surface of the main body case by a second predetermined distance;

and

wherein the second predetermined distance is smaller than the first predetermined distance.

4. An automobile on which the vehicle-mounted mobile phone charging device according to claim 1 is installed in an upright state.

5. The automobile according to claim 4, wherein the vehicle-mounted mobile phone charging device is installed so as to be inclined such that the upper section of the vehicle-mounted mobile phone charging device is directed rearward and such that the lower section of the vehicle-mounted mobile phone charging device is directed forward.
