Abstract
A holding arrangement for the operating element of a telephone or a mobile telephone, such as a telephone receiver with a dialing keyboard or a handset, for an installation in a container existing in a vehicle is disclosed. A receiving device for releasably fixing the operating element and a holding body carrying the receiving device are provided. The holding body can be swivelled about a swivelling axis aligned transversely to its longitudinal course from a removed position with the operating element stored in the container into an offered position with the operating element situated to be easily gripped, and vice versa. For the purpose of a universal installation into all vehicle types in a space-saving manner, with a still remaining free useful space in the container, a fork-shaped carrier is provided for the swivel bearing of the holding body, which fork-shaped carrier accommodates the swivelling shaft in two carrying arms which project at a right angle from a carrying plate. The swivelling shaft is arranged at such a vertical distance from the holding body that, in its removed position, the holding body is disposed below the swivelling axis and, in its offered position, it is situated above the swivelling axis.
