Abstract

A system for mounting a cell phone in an automobile providing vibration resistant holding, phone battery recharging, rapid disconnect and convenient mounting on an article of clothing such as a belt.

Claims

1. A system for mounting a cell phone in an automobile to permit hands free use comprising:

a. Light weight cradle with means for ready acceptance of a cell phone body;

b. Means for coupling the phone to sensitive antennas when necessary;

c. Means for physically and electrically connecting the phone so as to permit recharging of the phone'"'"'s battery and holding the phone so as to prevent dislodgement by the effects of road vibration;

d. Means for rapid and convenient disconnection and for return to manual transport and operation.

2. A system for mounting a cell phone in an automobile as described in claim 1 in which said light weight cradle is constructed of resilient material having extensions for retentive holding of a cell phone body and protrusions for fitting into slots in the phone body whereby the phone can easily be inserted into said cradle and be firmly held for a desired period.

3. A system for mounting a cell phone in an automobile as described in claim 1 in which said means for coupling the phone to an exterior, sensitive antenna is by inductance coils imbedded into said cradle which become adjacent to the cell phone when it is in said cradle.

4. A system for mounting a cell phone in an automobile as described in claim 1 in which said means for physically and electrically connecting the phone is a flexible tube and prong combination which permits said cradle to be plugged into a car'"'"'s cigarette lighter socket.

5. A system for mounting a cell phone in an automobile as described in claim 1 in which additional coupling to an automobile'"'"'s radio is by means of electrodes built into the phone and connecting to corresponding electrodes imbedded into said cradle

6. A system for mounting a cell phone in an automobile as described in claim 1 wherein said means for rapid and convenient disconnect include a belt clip with provision for attachment of said cradle holding a cell phone which permits the phone to be returned to non-vehicular and personal use.
