Telephone holder
First Claim
1. A holder (2) for a telephone (1), comprising at least one locking element (7) that moves when pushed by a phone inserted in the holder, and a guiding surface (16) located against the locking element to wedge a locking claw (15) onto the side (8) of the phone in such a manner that the claw locks the phone into the holder, said holder (2) comprising an inner shell part (4) serving as a mount for the phone (1), and an outer part (5) which is stationary with respect to said inner part and has a guiding surface (16), said locking element (7) being located between those parts and being movable with respect to them, the inner shell part having a hole (11) at a location corresponding to that of the locking element, from which hole the locking claw (15) protrudes against the side (8) of the phone, and the locking element including a thrust block (12) so that when said thrust block is pushed by the phone the locking element is forced into the locked position.

Abstract
The invention relates to a telephone holder, especially a holder (2) installable on a car in which a phone (1) is kept during driving. The holder has an enclosed structure and it comprises a cup-like inner shell part (4), an outer shell part (5) and a locking element (7) fitted in the cavity between the shell parts and movable with respect to the shell parts, a thrust block (12) and locking claw (15) in the locking element being located in a hole (11) formed in the inner shell part. The phone is locked into the holder with a turning movement wherein the phone pushes the thrust block (12) and at the same time a guiding surface (16) in the outer shell part wedges the locking claw (15) into a hollow (17) on the side of the phone. The pushing movement is directed against the end (23) of a double torsion spring (22) in the holder so that the middle part of the spring turns a shaft (18) and thus locks the locking element (7) into the locked position. The phone is released from the locked position by pressing the shaft (18) by means of a push lever whereby the locking element is freed from a catch (20) and the end (23) of the spring returns the phone to the initial position so that it can be removed from the holder.
