2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, portable telephones and portable telephone systems (P
HS), a portable wireless device, and a portable telephone (all of which are referred to as a portable telephone in this specification) are rapidly spreading. As a result, the user environment has become diversified, and many users use it in cars. In this case, when the driver uses the vehicle while driving the vehicle, the driver is driven by one hand, which poses a safety problem. However, it is difficult to secure a place where the telephone can be stably placed in the car interior. For this reason, a holder has been devised which can be attached to an appropriate place to detachably hold the telephone so as to be hands-free.

FIGS. 13 and 14 show an example of a conventional telephone holder for holding a portable telephone. FIG.
13 is a perspective view of the holder as viewed from above, FIG. 13B is a perspective view of the holder as viewed from below except for the back surface, and FIG. 14 is a perspective view of the holder and the base. This telephone holder comprises a holder 1 and a base 2 as shown in FIG. 14, and the holder 1 has an upper surface 1a and a rear surface 1b screwed to the upper surface 1a as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 13B, the pin 7 is pivotally supported by a pin 7 at one point, and the width adjusting arm 3 is supported by a spring 8.
(Direction of arrow A).

The hold button 5 is provided on the upper surface 1 of the holder 1.
The swinging motion of the swing support 4 can be restricted or released by a mechanism inside the holder 1 after entering and exiting through the small window formed in the window a. The upright stopper 6 is rotatable in and out of a hole formed near the lower end of the upper surface 1a of the holder 1, and is pulled out when the holder 1 is used in a relatively upright state, so that the lower end of the telephone can be held. It has become.

FIG. 14 is a view showing a holder 1 and a base 2 for supporting the holder 1 and attaching it to a desired place in a vehicle interior. Engagement projections 10 for attaching to the base 2 are formed on the back surface portion 1b of the holder 1, and two engagement members for engaging the engagement projections 10 of the holder and fixing the holder 1 are formed on the upper surface of the base 2. A stop hole 11 is formed. Then, the base 9 is fixed to a desired place in the vehicle interior with an adhesive sheet or the like, and the engaging projections 10 of the holder 1 are engaged with the locking holes 11 of the base 9 to fix the holder 1 to the base 9.

In order to hold the telephone set in the fixed holder 1, the position of the width adjusting arm 3 is adjusted in advance from the state of FIG. When the telephone is placed on the holder 1 and the hold button 5 is pressed by the telephone, the swing support 4 is released from the regulation by the hold button 5, and the spring 8 controls the width adjustment arm 3.
