Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a vertical mounting apparatus for a mobile terminal,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a vertical mounting apparatus for a mobile terminal, and more particularly, to a vertical mounting apparatus for a mobile terminal which can be vertically mounted regardless of the size of the mobile terminal, .

Background Art [0002] A conventional mobile phone holder for a car has a body mounted on a vehicle dashboard, for example, and a holder rotatably and movably disposed on the body and having a support for mounting the mobile phone. A slider formed on the bottom of the support part of the cell phone holder in the slot formed on the upper surface of the body is arranged so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the rotation and the slot, The slider freely rotates and moves in the longitudinal direction of the slot.

The conventional mobile phone holder for a vehicle can be manufactured at a low cost with a simplified structure compared to a structure in which a holder is rotated by a ball and socket structure in a mobile phone holder and a structure in which a holder is used in a separate lever shape.

However, the above-described conventional mobile phone holder has limitations in using mobile terminals of different sizes freely in real time. For example, the sizes of dozens of smartphones have mostly different lengths, widths, and thicknesses. As such, it is not easy to mount mobile terminals of various sizes using a single cradle.

In addition, in order to charge the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal of the related art has to be connected to a charging terminal of the mobile terminal and a cigar jack or a universal serial bus (USB) port of the vehicle. Of course, the vehicle may be equipped with a wireless charging device or a separate wireless charging device. However, the mobile terminal charged on the wireless charging device is laid down so that the screen sees the vehicle ceiling or floor. Thus, it is not easy to use various functions of the mobile terminal, such as navigation, during wireless charging.
