Abstract
A cradle is provided for a handheld communications device (). The cradle is comprised of a rigid structure (), a latch actuator (), a latch (), an engagement face (), and a resilient member (--). The rigid structure defines a compartment () for receiving the device. The compartment is comprised of an aperture and a sidewall structure (). The latch actuator is comprised of a first end portion () and a second end portion (). The latch actuator is movable in a sliding motion aligned with the sidewall between a first position and a second position. The latch is pivotally mounted to the first end portion of the latch actuator. The resilient member resiliently biases the latch actuator in a first position. The latch actuator is engaged when the device is inserted into the compartment and pushed down such that a force is applied to the latch actuator causing the latch to be moved to a second position where it engages the device.
