Abstract: A telephone cradle has ratcheting, sliding walls which engage a telephone and hold it securely. A ratchet release button, operable by the same hand that grasps the telephone, releases the sliding walls when it is desired to lift and use the telephone. The walls are spring-loaded to open and are driven to move equally in opposite directions. A friction plate dampens the motion of the sliding walls. Resilient pads disposed on the sliding walls securely hold the telephone. The cradle may be flexibly mounted to a vehicle.

Abstract: A carrier assembly for an electronic device, such as a radiotelephone. The carrier assembly is comprised of a frame and a support arm pivotally coupled thereto. The frame receives the electronic device to engage supportively the electronic device thereat, and latch members latch the electronic device to the frame. The support arm is pivotally coupled to the frame to permit positioning of the support arm to form either a clip or a table-support. When positioned to form a clip, the carrier assembly permits carriage of the electronic device by way of supportive engagement of the device to an external object, such as a belt or other article of clothing, of a user. When positioned at the table-support position, the support arm is operative to support the electronic device in a desired orientation upon a surface.

Abstract: A holder for an electronic appliance includes a holding section 2 for holding a portable electronic appliance 101. A control circuit section 21 senses the temperature within the holding section 2 and, when the temperature is found to be higher than a predetermined temperature, a sirocco fan 16 is caused to be rotated for supplying outside air into the holding section 2 by a suction hole 17 and a vent hole 15 for cooling the electronic appliance 101. Since the electronic appliance 101 is cooled even under elevated environmental temperatures, the electronic appliance 101 may be protected against malfunction otherwise caused due to elevated temperatures.

Abstract: A hand-held portable telephone holder for releasably holding a hand-held portable car telephone has two laterally adjustable fingers disposed upon one side of a substantially planar body and two spring biased fingers pivotally disposed upon the opposite side of the body such that a hand-held portable telephone may be positioned intermediate the first and second fingers and grasped under spring tension thereby. The hand-held portable telephone is disposed intermediate the first and second fingers by first placing the hand-held portable telephone in contact with the second fingers and utilizing the hand-held portable telephone to urge the second fingers to pivot outwardly against spring tension, thus increasing the distance between the first and second fingers. The hand-held portable telephone is then disposed in laminar juxtaposition to the body of the holder.

Abstract: A handset device which includes a small magnet unit, is simple in construction, and yet ensures the magnetic holding of a handset and the outputting of an on-hook signal when it is hung up on a main body. The magnet unit is provided in one of a portion of the main body and a portion of the handset which face each other when the handset is hung up, while a magnetic material is provided in the other of those portions, so that a magnetic attracting force may occur between the magnet unit and the magnetic material. The magnetic material has a saturation magnetic flux density which is lower than that of the magnet unit, so that magnetic leakage may occur. A magnetic detector is provided for detecting such magnetic leakage and outputting the on-hook signal.

Abstract: A mounting cradle for mounting a portable cellular telephone in a vehicle. The cradle is adjustable in width, length and height, by a single pair of fasteners, to accommodate portable cellular telephones of varying sizes. The cradle and an associated cradle mount enable the telephone to be selectively and removably positioned at an angular orientation extending through a full 360 degrees, and also allow the cradle and telephone to be tilted through a substantial angle. The cradle has an adjustable compression spring, characterized by two levels of spring tension, for accommodating varying shock and vibration conditions.

Abstract: A projection of a retaining element swivel-mounted inside a base part of a telephone set projects through the region of the cradle for the handset of the telephone set. The projection engages in a recess of the handset. The retaining element is directly connected with the switch bar for the cradle switch, swivel-mounted and under spring tension.

Abstract: An improved telephone set of the type including a telephone body and a handset adapted to be placed on the former wherein the telephone set includes features which prevents displacement of the handset from the telephone body. The telephone body has a pair of engagement blocks incorporated therein of which part is projected outwardly of the telephone body and they are fitted into engagement recesses on the handset whereby the latter is firmly placed on the telephone body. At least the one engagement block has an engagement face which is adapted to come in contact with the engagement portion in the corresponding engagement recess, wherein each engagement block includes a pawl portion. Displacement of the handset occurs by displacing one of the pawl portions out of its respective engagement recess followed by displacement of the handset in a second direction which is different from the first direction which causes the displacement of the other pawl portion out of its respective engagement recess.

Abstract: A telephone handset mounting cradle includes a housing provided along its lower edge with opposed oppositely opening grooves. The bottom of the housing includes a relief. A bracket includes opposed, facing slides for engaging the grooves and a spring clip for engaging the relief to lock the cradle to the bracket. A screw pivotally couples the bracket to a first plate about a first axis. Additional screws pivotally couple the first plate to a second plate about a second axis perpendicular to the first. The second plate includes provisions for fixed mounting to a surface.

Abstract: An arrangement for releasably retaining a telephone apparatus in a standby condition includes a handset including an earpiece and a base having a shelf portion for receiving the earpiece. A hooking post member protrudes through the shelf portion and includes an integral spring to enable the hooking post member to be resiliently movable towards and away from the shelf portion. A switch hook which is separate from the hooking post is arranged to be actuated by the earpiece when the earpiece is brought into engagement with the base. When the earpiece engages the base shelf portion, the hooking post member is resiliently urged into contact with the earpiece for releasably retaining the earpiece on the base. A guide on the base prevents the hooking post member from twisting or rotating.

Abstract: A telephone subset with a desk and wall mount capability employs an east-to-west oriented handset. The subset base has a bearing at a first axis on which the subset housing pivots. The base has slots for the tabs of a bracket to engage and hold the subset in the desk or wall positions. The housing provides a cylindrical well in which a spring loaded pin is mounted, and also provides surfaces on which the subset handset cradle, which houses the hookswitch, rests in the desk and wall configurations. To prevent the bracket from translating, the spring loaded pin engages a hole in the bracket. As the pin is depressed, it disengages the hole and allows the smaller diameter section of the pin to enter the slot so the bracket can translate. The bracket provides an axle on which the cradle mounts, forming a pivot at a second axis, for pivoting from a desk position to a wall position.
