Abstract: A security bracket for a portable telephone provides locking security for at least the transceiver, battery, and carrying bag of such a telephone installed in a vehicle, while allowing ready access to the telephone handset. An open top container is dimensioned to receive the transceiver, battery and carrying bag, which are locked in place by a hinged, generally U shaped lock bar. The telephone hand set is placed atop and within the U of the lock bar where it also engages the transceiver for normal operation and provides access for ready use at all times. Thus, the security bracket provides deterrence against theft, as the only component readily removable is the telephone hand set, which is of little value without the remaining components which are secured within the container of the security bracket. A base supports the container, the base being securely mounted on the floor of the vehicle. The container may be angularly adjusted with respect to the base for ease of access to the telephone by the user.

Abstract: An adapter for mounting a portable telephone on a vehicle allows either one of a simple handset and a multi-function handset to be used therewith as desired. The adapter does not need a power switch and associated circuitry and, therefore, reduces the overall weight and size of a portable telephone system. When a multi-function handset is used with the adapter, the adapter is switched on and off by a power switch which is provided on the handset. When a simple handset is used with the adapter, the adapter is switched on and off by an ignition switch which is provided on the vehicle. Further, the adapter promotes easy and convenient use of a handset because it automatically adapts itself to both of a multi-function handset and a simple handset.

Abstract: The invention provides a headband fastened by moveable ball and socket to a mounting ring attachable to the earpiece of a standard telephone handset. The ball affixed to the headband has an adjust tab on the rounded end which fits adjust receptacles in the base of the socket. The tab and receptacle arrangement allows a three-position positive adjustment of the handset position in relation to the headband. In a square-type attachment for modern rectangular telephone handsets, an embodiment designed for the purpose includes two holder frames, one for right ear use and one for left ear use through positioning of the socket holder. The headband and holder for rectangular handsets includes a three-position positive adjust ball and socket fitting and an opened frame yoke that supports the earpiece attachment frame in a manner which prevents interference with the plunger on and off switch of the telephone handset.

Abstract: A shoulder cradle for supporting a cellular car phone on the shoulder of a vehicle operator is provided. The shoulder cradle is fitted onto the cellular car phone to permit access to the cellular car phone dial keyboard when the shoulder cradle is not being utilized to support the car phone on the shoulder of the phone user. When the shoulder cradle is being utilized to support the car phone on the shoulder of the phone user, the shoulder cradle covers a substantial portion of the area occupied by the dial keyboard on the car phone. The shoulder cradle is formed from lightweight materials and has design features to reduce the weight. The shoulder cradle may be adhesively attached to the car phone so that the casing of the car phone is not marred or damaged by installation of the shoulder cradle.
