Abstract: A mounting support for a portable computing device is described, the mounting support being at least part of a drawer. The mounting support is mounted in a drawer that may be inserted an instrument panel of a motor vehicle. The mounting support is used for the secure accommodation and the simple operation of the computing device, particularly in a motor vehicle.

Abstract: In a car radio having a handset that is inserted into a horizontally positioned holder in a front panel and has a screen as well as labeled control keys and can be used as the control unit for a car radio or as a telephone, the use of the handset is made easier in both operating positions by orienting the labeling of the control keys along an axis that is rotated out of the usual perpendicular alignment of the handset in the mounted position by an angle between 30 and 60 degrees in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the handset, thereby making the labeling easy to read in both operating positions of the handset.

Abstract: To provide for easy identification of the location of pushbuttons or other similar operating elements of an automobile radio, even in the dark, light guides which provide for function indication and positioned above the respective pushbuttons extend laterally beyond the respective pushbuttons, and the front surface of the panel is formed with a recessed surface having an inclined portion (23), in light transmitting location to an auxiliary light emitting surface (21) shining, from the light guides, downwardly on the inclined portion (23) to provide for lateral illumination of the push buttons which, then, will appear as shadows between the light emitted from the auxiliary light surfaces.
