DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention overcomes disadvantages of prior art by providing a wireless device holder to be placed on the handlebar of bicycles. The wireless device holder is adjustable to fit any size or malce of wireless device, such as wireless . telephones. The wireless device holder lock and release mechanism is based on a single side lock and release mechanism, that is the release or locking is performed from one side of the holder. The device holder can also accommodate personal data assistants, pagers and beepers or other like devices. In the following figures, like numerals represent like parts. Fig. 1 illustrates a perspective front view of the wireless device holder holding a large cellular phone, designated 100, comprising an elongated back wall member 20 connected on its rear side to a clamp like member 22 and having a first hon-moveable rigid wall member 24 positioned perpendicularly to back wall member 20 and a second wall member 26 positioned also perpendicularly to back wall member 20, the second wall member including a quick release mechanism having opening and control arms 28, 30 (shown in the closed position) to properly secure any type of wireless device such as a cellular telephone 32 of any make or size. Control arms 28, 30 move about axis bolts 34, 36, along orbit A, each having jagged surface to allow better grip during use. Clamp 22 can be any conventional clamp, such as a double bolt clamp, having two bolts 38, 40, the clamp can be positioned on a bicycle handlebar, or on the bicycle themselves. Other clamps can also be used. One other alternative clamp can be a single bolt clamp having flexibility such that it is sufficient to remove one bolt to install the clamp onto its position on the bicycle. Wall members 24, 26 are sufficiently wide along axis B to accommodate the various types and malces of cellular wireless devices. Turning now to Fig. 2 showing a sectional view of the wireless device holder designated 100 showing with clarity the quick release mechanism. The quick release mechanism comprises control arms 28, 30 for allowing the user to quickly close and open fastening arms 42, 44. Control arms 28, 30 are connected to fastening arms 42, 44 and move about axis bolts 34, 36 along orbit A, such that when control arms are pressed one against the other in an inward direction fastening arms 42, 44 move away from the secured wireless device allowing the removal of the wireless device from the wireless device holder. This action requires one hand and can be performed quickly by the bicycle rider. In the reverse, the user may place the wireless device into the wireless device holder and with one hand move control arms 28, 30 in opposing directions or an outward direction about axis bolts 34, 36 along orbit A until such a position where the cellular device is strongly fixed in its position within the wireless device holder. To prevent undesired or accidental movement, control and fastening arms 28, 30, 42, 44 are secured into place by locking axis bolts 34, 36. Locking of axis bolts 34, 36 can be performed by pressing the bolts or changing their orientation 90 degrees clockwise or anti-clockwise so as not to allow movement. Alternatively, the quick release mechanism includes a variable friction level control and fastening arms. The variable friction is achieved by using axis bolts 34, 36 designed in shape to allow greater movement in the inward direction of opening the control and fastening arms and less movement in the outward direction of closing the control and fastening arms, such that at a certain, adjustable location the arms cannot be moved any further. The friction is variable respective of the shape of the axis bolts 34, 36. Referring now to Fig. 3 showing a back perspective view of the wireless device holder. The drawing clearly shows the clamp and the manner of attaching the clamp to the wireless device holder. Clamp 22 is attached via one or more rigid arms 46, 48, measuring about 1-3 centimeters to the first side of clamp plate 50. The clamp plate 50 is a rigid substantially rectangular member, preferably made of plastic. The clamp plate 50 includes a quick release lever 52 which enables the clamp plate 50 to quickly separate from the back plate clamp. Clamp plate 52 also comprises on its second side a plate having on its two side's slides 58, 60 which slide along grooves 54, 56. Once clamp plate 52 has been undipped by releasing quick release lever 52 the user may release the wireless device holder by pushing the holder in an upward direction wherein the slides 58, 60 slide along grooves 54, 56 and the wireless holder detaches from the clamp plate 50. Likewise, the person using the wireless device holder can attach the holder to the clamp plate 50 by sliding the holder grooves 54, 56 into the slides 58, 60 until the quick release lever 52 clicks into its position. The quick release lever 52 is a simple latch having a spring for keeping the latch pressed towards the clamp plate where in the position corresponding to the length of the latch from the upper part of the clamp plate there is a small groove on the second side of the clamp plate. Once the clamp plate is moved towards the quick release lever the release lever engages into the groove. To release the clamp plate the user may press the quick release lever so that the end of the quick release lever placed within the groove lifts and the clamp plate 52 can slid and detach from the wireless device holder. Turning now to Fig. 4 showing is an exploded view of the components of the wireless device holder generally referenced 100. The rail 60 attached to clamp plate 52 and corresponding opposite groove 54 is clearly shown. In Fig. 4 the clamp plate 52 is detached from the wireless device holder. Control and fastening arms 28, 30, 42, 44 and corresponding axis bolts 34, 36 and corresponding bolt receiving holes 62, 64 and bolt receiving plates 66, 68 are shown detached from the wireless device holder for better understanding of the present invention. As can be clearly seen the control arms 28, 30 are directly attached and for a single part with the narrower fastening arms 42, 44. The axis bolts 34, 36 run through the internal inward wider section of the fastening arms 28, 30. The fastening arms 42, 44 sides, facing the wireless device to be held by the holder are preferably jagged for a better grip on the wireless device placed within the wireless device holder. Referring now to Fig. 5 showing a front perspective view of the wireless device holder holding a small cellular telephone generally referenced 200 comprising the wireless device holder and a small cellular telephone positioned therein. Turning now to Fig. 6 showing an exploded perspective view of the wireless device holder generally referenced 300 in accordance with the second preferred embodiment of the present invention. The wireless device holder 300 comprises a non-moveable arm 94, an adjustable arm 80, an arm holding plate 96, and a clamp 22.. The non-moveable arm 94 and the arm holding plate are held together by attaching means such as fastening bolts or screws 103, 103', or like attaching or fastening means. Fastening bolts or screws 103, 103' are inserted via holes 105, 105', 105" and fasten the device holder part together. The non- moveable arm 94, the adjustable arm 80, and the arm holding plate 96 comprise in combination a locking mechanism and a quick release mechanism. The adjustable arm 80 is preferably a single arm comprising a supporting member 86, a holding member 82 and an insert member 84. The insert member 84 is positioned perpendicularly to the supporting member 86 and having a substantially rectangular shape. The holding member 82 is fastened to the inner surface 81 of the supporting member 86. The holding member 82 is having a jagged surface disposed such as to face a similar jagged surface of an oppositely disposed holding member 93 fastened to the inner surface 202 of the supporting member 93 of the non-moveable arm 94. The non-moveable arm 94 is preferably an oppositely disposed arm comprising a supporting member 201, a holding member 93, an insert member 108 and a holding space 107 designed to be enclosed by the lower surface of the insert member 108 and the upper surface 204 of the arm holding plate 96. The insert member 84 of the adjustable arm 80 is designed to slide into the holding space 107 of the non-moveable arm 94. In order to hold the wireless device into the wireless device holder 300, first the wireless device is placed on the upper surface of the insert member 108 such as to be in contact with the jagged surface of the holding member 93. Then the adjustable arm 80 is moved towards the non-moveable arm 94. Since the insert member 84 is part of the adjustable arm 80 the movement of the arm 80 effects the entrance of the insert member 84 into the holding space 107 enclosed by the insert member 108 and the upper surface 204 of the arm holding plate 96. The moving of the adjustable arm 80 is maintained until firm contact is achieved between the wireless device and the jagged surface of the holding member 82 of the adjustable arm 80. As a result the wireless device is firmly held in place between the jagged surfaces of the holding member 82 and the holding member 93. The jagged surfaces of the holding member 82 and the holding member 93 effect firm mechanical coupling of the wireless device and prevent the accidental mechanical decoupling of the wireless device from the wireless holding device. In order to achieve firm mechanical coupling between the non- moveable arm 94 and the adjustable arm 80, the lower surface of the insert member 84 comprises several elongated horizontally disposed parallel ratchet bars 88. Ratchet bars 88 are disposed within the bottom side 203 of the adjustable arm 80, but can similarly be placed on the upper side 204 of the arm holding plate 96, thereby having an inversed mechanism. The ratchet bars 88 include a set of protruding substantially triangular-shaped teeth. The angles of the triangles forming the teeth are disposed such as to provide the teeth with an angular inclination towards the holding member 82 of the adjustable arm 80. When the adjustable arm 80 is moved towards the non-moveable arm 94 and the insert member 84 slides into the holding space 107 the parallel ratchet bars 88 engage a set of perpendicularly and oppositely disposed locking bars (not shown) located on the upper surface 204 of the arm holding plate 96. The disposal of the locking bars generates several substantially triangular-shaped locking slots there between. The angles of the triangles forming the locking slots are disposed such as to provide the locking slots with an angular inclination towards the holding member 93 of the non-moveable arm 94. The sizes, the shapes and the spatial configurations of the ratchet bar teeth-set and the locking slots affect the mechanical fitting of the ratchet bars into the locking slots. The locking slots are disposed perpendicularly to the parallel ratchet bars 88. Where the adjustable arm 80 is moved towards the non-moveable arm 94, the ratchet bars 88 successively slide across the locking bars in a ratchet-like manner. During the movement the tooth-sets forming the' ratchet bars 88 successively climb over the crests of the locking bars and lock down into the respective locking slots. Consequent to the completion of the sum of movement of the adjustable arm 80 needed for the firm locking of the wireless device between the adjustable arm 80 and the npn- moveable arm 94, the respective tooth-set on each of the ratchet bars 88 is locked within the appropriate locking slots. The size, the form and the spatial configuration of the teeth-sets on the ratchet bars in combination with the size, the form and the spatial configuration of the locking slots formed by the locking bars effect the locking of the adjustable arm 80 to the non-moveable ^"arm 94 and prevents the accidental mechanical decoupling of the adjustable arm 80 from the non-moveable arm 94. The wireless device is held into the desired position by the pressure and friction generated between the device and the opposing jagged surfaces of the holding member 93 disposed on the non-moveable arm 94 and the holding member 82 disposed on the adjustable arm 80, respectively. The non-moveable arm 94 and the adjustable arm 80 in combination are having a substantially rectangular shape to fit most sizes and makes of wireless devices, that can be used on a bicycle. The clamp plate 50, quick release mechanism 52, and the associated components are substantially similar to the clamp plate and the quick release mechanism shown in association with the previous figures. To effect intentional mechanical decoupling of the adjustable arm 80 from the non-moveable arm 94 the outward movement of the adjustable arm 80 within the holding space 108 and therefore the disengagement of the of the ratchet bars from the locking slots should be enabled. A detailed description of the release mechanism will be provided hereinafter in association with the following drawings. Optionally, one or more longitudinal grooves 102, 104, 106 can be located on the upper surface of the insert member 108 of the non-moveable arm 94 in order to enhance the grip of the wireless device holder on any given wireless device held there within. The grooves 102, 104, 106 can also be used for removal of excess dirt or fluids accumulated during a bicycle ride between the wireless device and the holder itself, and for the real-time drainage of accidental fluids, such as raindrops. While not shown on the drawing like longitudinal grooves can be placed there onto the upper surface of the insert member 84 of the adjusted arm 80. Referring now to Fig. 7 showing a horizontal cross section of the wireless device holder device 300 to provide for a better understanding of the structure of the proposed wireless device holder. The drawing shows the adjustable arm 80 in an "open" state. The arm 80 comprises the supporting member 86, the holding member 82, the jagged surface 210 of the holding member 82, and the upper surface of the insert member 84.The insert member 84 is partially inserted into the holding space (not shown). The non-moveable arm 94 comprises a carrying handle 211, the support member 94, the holding member 934, the jagged surface 212 of the holding member 94, and the upper member 108 enclosing the holding space. The upper surface e 108 includes an elevated plane 214 designed to provide support for the wireless device, Three longitudinal grooves 102, 104, 106 are located on the upper surface of the insert member 108 of the non-moveable arm 94 in order to assist in the removal of excess dirt or fluids accumulated during a bicycle ride between the wireless device and the holder itself. The grooves 102, 104, 106 are connected to the circular grove 216 to provide for the real-time drainage of accidental fluids, such as raindrops and the like via the drainage groves 215. Referring now to Fig. 8 showing a vertical cross section of the wireless device holder device 300 to provide for a better understanding of the structure of the proposed device. The drawing shows the adjustable arm 80, the non-moveable arm 94, an arm holding plate 96, and the clamp 22. The clamp 22 is connected to arm holding plate 96 via the clamp plate 50. The adjustable arm 80 is shown in a locked position. The ratchet bars 88 each having a teeth-set are locked into the locking slots 220 located on the upper surface of the arm holding plate 96. The drawing further shows the holding member 82 of the adjustable arm 80, the jagged surface 210 of the holding member 82, the insert member 84 fully inserted into the holding space 222, the elevated plane 214, and a fastening bolt 224 coupling mechanically the non-moveable arm 94 to the arm holding plate 96. Referring now to Fig. 9 showing a vertical cross section of the wireless device holder device 300 to provide for a better understanding of the structure of the proposed wireless device holding apparatus. The drawing is substantially similar to Fig. 7. The drawings differ in respect of the state of the adjusting arm 80. Fig. 9 clearly shows that the insert member 84 of the adjusting arm 80 is entirely inserted into the holding space (not shown). Referring to Fig. 10 showing a longitudinal cross-section of the wireless device holder 300. The drawing shows the release mechanism 250 operative in the releasing of the clamp 22 from wireless holder device 300. The mechanism 250 comprises a release lever 252. Exerting pressure on the release lever 252 in the direction of the wireless holder device will raise the insert member upward and thereby will effect the disengagement of the locking pin 253 enabling the separation of the wireless device holder 300 from the clamp 22. The drawing further shows the cross section of the adjusting arm 80 placed within the non-moveable arm 94. As can be seen the adjusting arm 80 slides into and out of non-moveable arm via grooves 255, 255', 255" disposed in between the ratchet bars 88 of Fig.8. To allow the release of the adjusting arm from the non-moveable arm 94 force is applied to lift the ratchet bars 80 above locking slots 220 of Fig. 8 by means of a handle or alternatively lower locking slots 220 by means of handle 221 of Fig. 8. Consequently the adjusting arm 80 could be gradually pulled outward. As a result the pressure exerted on the wireless device by the jagged surface (not shown) of the holding member (not shown) of the adjustable arm 80 is gradually decreases until the wireless device is could be readily removed from the upper surface of the non-moveable arm. Turning now to Fig. 11 showing another front perspective view of the wireless device holder generally referenced 300, wherein a small cellular telephone 402 is placed within the wireless device holder.
