Abstract
A holder includes a base, a first carriage, a first elastic module, a second carriage, a second elastic module, and two clamping mechanisms. When a handheld electronic device is installed in the holder, the second carriage is driven towards the first carriage, and the second elastic module between the second carriage and the first carriage and the first elastic module between the first carriage and the base are both compressed. At this time, the first carriage drives the two clamping mechanisms to clamp the handheld electronic device so that the handheld electronic device is reliably fixed onto the second carriage.
Claims16
A holder for holding a handheld electronic apparatus, the holder comprising:
- a base;
- a first carriage disposed on the base and having an accommodation space for placing the handheld electronic apparatus;
- a first elastic module contacting the first carriage and the base for driving the first carriage moving with respect to the base along a disposition direction;
- a second carriage disposed in the accommodation space;
- a second elastic module contacting against the second carriage and the first carriage for driving the second carriage moving with respect to the first carriage along the disposition direction;
- and
- two clamping mechanisms disposed on the base and located at two respective sides of the accommodation space, wherein each of the two clamping mechanisms respectively interferes with the first carriage, a portion of each of the two clamping mechanisms moves toward the accommodation space for holding the handheld electronic apparatus when the first carriage moves toward the base, and a moving direction of the portion of each of the two clamping mechanisms is substantially perpendicular to a moving direction of the first carriage.
