Abstract
A lever device for a holder adapted to receive a hand-held unit, such as a mobile telephone is presented herein. The lever device includes a first lever arm connected to a first hinge member, and a first locking arm connected to the first hinge member. The first hinge member has an axis about which the lever device is adapted to rotate. The first spring arm is adapted to cause a spring action of the lever device in relation to the holder while rotating the lever device about the first hinge member. According to the invention, a second lever arm is provided being connected to a second hinge member. The first and second hinge members are spaced apart and aligned with the axis. The first and second lever arms are interconnected by an interconnection member, and a second spring arm is adapted to cause a spring action of the lever device in relation to the holder while rotating the lever device about the second hinge member. The first and second spring arms are adapted to move towards or away from one another during the spring action. At least one guide arm is adapted to keep the first and second hinge members substantially aligned with the axis.
