Abstract: A support mechanism is disclosed notably for a portable telephone, which is formed by transport means and positioning means for transporting the receiver clipped onto a piece of garment or a belt and for putting the receiver in an upright position on a piece of furniture. According to the invention, the transport and positioning means include a clip intended to be affixed by a first fixed end at the top of the back face of the receiver and including a tilting member which pivots around a shaft arranged at the second elastically movable end of the clip.

Abstract: This apparatus having different shielding covers comprises a functional chassis (1), a removable element (14) and at least a shielding element (12) for covering said chassis on at least its front, back and lateral surfaces. One of the shielding elements (12) coming on one of the surfaces is designed to comprise a lateral shielding part (21).

Abstract: A holder for a telephone handset, in particular for use in cars, which is to provide a hands-free function comprises a stationary holder part and a pivotable holder part which can pivot relative to the former about a holder pivot axis between an open position, in which the pivotable holder part encloses an angle with the stationary holder part, and a closed position, in which the pivotable holder part lies substantially parallel to the stationary holder part. The pivotable holder part has a connector which cooperates with a mating connector of a cordless telephone handset so as to achieve an automatic electrical connection thereof when a cordless telephone handset is inserted.
