Abstract: An inductive charging device for charging a mobile telephone within a public transport vehicle comprises a body section that includes an inductive charging device. A holder is provided for holding the mobile telephone in a fixed charging position relative to the inductive charging device. The holder includes a plurality of rigid arms that are fixed in position relative to the main body, and a plurality of biasing members movable between an extended position and a retracted position. The biasing members are arranged within the holder such that they are moved to the retracted position when the mobile telephone is inserted into the holder and in said retracted position apply an inwardly biasing force to the mobile telephone to hold it in the charging position.
