1. A fixing apparatus for a portable telephone comprising:

  • a pouch (30) adapted to enclose the portable telephone;

    an engaging means (32) extending from the pouch (30), a socket (10) for detachably receiving the engaging means (32), and a cramp (21) connected to the socket (10) for fixing itself and the socket (10) on an objective body;

    the engaging means (32) comprising a substantially elliptic plate (321) which defines a long axis and a short axis and a neck (322) extending from substantially a center of the elliptic plate (321) and firmly connected to the pouch (30);

    the socket (10) comprising a base plate (11) and an upper plate (20) connected to the base plate (11), the base plate (11) defining a long cutout (100) from one side thereof up to a physically central point thereof, a first wall (110) being formed along peripheries of the base plate (11), a second wall (120) being projected from the base plate (11) substantially surrounding a periphery of the cutout (100) thus defining a ledge portion (12) between the cutout (100) and the second wall (120), the second wall (120) including two parallel straight portions (121) and a C-shaped portion (122) connected to the two parallel straight portions (121);

    the engaging means (32) being sized to be slidable through the ledge portion (12) around the cutout (100), with the neck (322) passing through the cutout (100) and the substantially elliptic plate (321) sliding along the ledge portion (12) in the long axis direction;

    a pivot (18) extended from the base plate (11), a first cutout (110A) defined in the first wall (110) of the base plate (11), a second cutout (120A) defined in the second wall (120) of the base plate (11), a first recess (19A) and a second recess (19B) defined in the base plate (11), a switch (13) comprising a switch body (14) which includes a boss (140) for pivotally receiving the pivot (18) projected from the base plate (11) and a saddle portion (141) extending out of the first cutout (110A) of the first wall (110) allowing a user to operate it;

    a first tongue (15) extended from the switch body (14); and

    a second tongue (16) pivotally connected to the switch body (14);

    whereby the engaging means (32) is manually made to turn substantially ninety-degrees in the C-shaped portion (122) of the second wall (120) when the substantially elliptic plate (321) thereof slides to touch the C-shaped portion (122) of the second wall (120), thereby locating the engaging means (32) in the C-shaped portion (122) of the second wall (120) of the socket (10) in place; and

    whereby the switch (13) is operative to an unblocking status in which the protrusion (151) of the first tongue (15) is received in the first recess (19A) of the base plate (11) and a tip of the second tongue (16) is retained in the second cutout (120A) of the second wall (120) allowing the substantially elliptic plate (321) to slide along the ledge portion (12), or to a blocking status in which the protrusion (151) is received in the second recess (19B) of the base plate (11) and the tip of the second tongue (16) is retained beyond the second cutout (120A) of the second wall (120) and blocking the ledge portion (12) of the base plate (11).
