Retaining rack for a cellular phone permitting handfree use of phone in driving

Abstract

A cellular phone retaining rack permits a driver of a vehicle to operate a cellular phone in a handfree manner. A mounting base is inserted into a fissure between a door and the glass thereof and a clamping board is adjustably secured to the mounting base. A hollow pivot arm having a spring housed therein is pivotally engaged with the mounting base. To each end of the spring is fixed a detent member. A securing piece is fixed to one side or the bottom of a phone retaining seat and one end of the securing piece is pivotally engaged with one end of the pivot arm. A ratchet gear is disposed at one end of the securing piece which can be in locking engaged with one detent member of the pivot arm so as to lock the retaining seat in place after each adjustment. The detent member at the other end of the pivot arm is engaged with an oblique lug having a recess at one end extended from the mounting base so as to retain the pivot arm in place after each pivot adjustment thereof. A voice pick-up is brought to abut against the receiver of a cellular phone and a speaker electrically connected to the voice pick-up is mounted to the clamping board so that the cellular phone can be easily moved to the mouth of a driver by adjusting the pivot arm and the phone retaining seat.
