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