Abstract
The invention discloses a fixture for a mobile electronic device having two clamping elements (2, 4) and an intermediate portion (36, 38, 40) arranged essentially flush thereto. The clamping elements may be shifted or pivoted. Optional, the intermediate portion may be depressed. The intermediate portion may accommodate an image (36), a mirror, a display and/or a control panel.
Claims24
A fixture adapted to releasably hold a mobile electronic device, comprising:
- a first clamping element arranged pivotally and on which a second connector is mounted;
- and
- a second clamping element arranged pivotally;
- wherein the first and second clamping elements are configured to be arranged in their resting position adjacent to an intermediate portion provided between the first clamping element and the second clamping element;
- the first and second clamping elements releasably hold in their clamping position the mobile electronic device,
- the first clamping element and the electric connector are configured that the electric connector mounted to the first clamping element establishes in the clamping position of the first clamping element an electric connection to a connector of the mobile electronic device and
- in the resting position of the first clamping element the electric connector is pivoted towards the rear of the fixture, wherein in the resting position the mobile electronic device is not held by the first and second clamping elements.
