Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and means for attaching a mobile phone in a vehicle, and more precisely to place a specially designed socket into the radio rack of the vehicle.
  • EP-A-0 465 965 discloses a device for securing a mobile phone where a radio rack in the vehicle is used for securing a socket for a mobile phone.
  • This device comprises a mounting frame being pushable into the radio rack in the dashboard of the vehicle without forming an obstacle for the ordinary use of a radio in the rack.
  • Socket means for the mobile phone is arranged on the mounting frame.
  • WO 96-33885 discloses a socket for a mobile phone using the standard radio rack (according to ISO-7736) for attaching a socket for a mobile phone.
  • the main object of the present invention is to obtain a method and a device for mounting a mobile phone in a vehicle and being usable in the most car models in the one and same design, i.e in car models having a radio rack according to ISO-7736, or any similar rack design, and allowing several possible attachments in connection to this rack. This freedom of choice regarding the attachment of the mobile phone socket is important both for security and for comfort reasons.
  • the remaining vane When placing the socket on the upper or lower side of the cassett the remaining vane will abut against the short side of the cassett and will prohibit a sliding of the socket along the long side of the cassett and simultaneously the length of the vane - at least half of the hight of the cassett - will steady the socket and secure its attachment between the stop lug of the cassett and the rack.
  • Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic view of a radio unit, a cassett according to ISO 7736, and a rack opening in the dashboard of a vehicle and where two alternative positions of a socket for a mobile phone is indicated,
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the socket
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective view of six possible positions of the socket for the mobile phone.
  • a bead 5b between the tongue 6 and the shank 3 also constitute a supporting surface against the stop lug 8a of the cassett and will contribute to a steady mount of the socket.
  • Fig. 3 shows the possible positions of the socket, i.e six different positions A - F can be chosen.
