  • Patent number: 6658275
    Abstract: A communication device (1) comprising a first part (2); a second part (3); coupling means (4) for coupling the first (2) and the second part (3) and allowing a mutual movement about a hinged joint (AA); and a connection point (5) for an insertable plug. Said point of connection (5) is arranged to said coupling means (4) and it substantially coincides with the hinged joint (AA) of the device (1). Consequently, the external connection will not interfere with the pivoting movement nor will it complicate handling and holding of the device.

  • Patent number: 6542606
    Abstract: A portable communication device (1) comprising a first part (2); a second part (3); and coupling hinge (4) for pivotably coupling the first (2) and the second part (3). The device further comprises a connecting element (6) of the first part on a surface of the first part (2); a connecting element (13) of the second part on a surface of the second part (3); and said connecting elements (6, 13) are positioned to be against each other for enabling a mutual connection when the first part and the second part are in the closed position. Allows robustness and straightforward assembly at the manufacturing stage, and provides a structure that is lean, durable and easily accessible for maintenance.

  • Patent number: 6185302
    Abstract: The invention relates to a telephone holder, especially a holder (2) installable on a car in which a phone (1) is kept during driving. The holder has an enclosed structure and it comprises a cup-like inner shell part (4), an outer shell part (5) and a locking element (7) fitted in the cavity between the shell parts and movable with respect to the shell parts, a thrust block (12) and locking claw (15) in the locking element being located in a hole (11) formed in the inner shell part. The phone is locked into the holder with a turning movement wherein the phone pushes the thrust block (12) and at the same time a guiding surface (16) in the outer shell part wedges the locking claw (15) into a hollow (17) on the side of the phone. The pushing movement is directed against the end (23) of a double torsion spring (22) in the holder so that the middle part of the spring turns a shaft (18) and thus locks the locking element (7) into the locked position.
