Mobile device docking station

摘要

A docking station (10) for an elongate rectangular mobile device. A first adjustable slide clamp member (14) is fitted in aperture (28) and is capable of adjustment in one direction. A second adjustable rotate clamp member (16) has a plug (85) for interconnection with a socket of the mobile device. The slide clamp member (14) has a clamp surface (32) and comprises a ratchet arm (26). The rotate clamp member also has a clamp surface (32c) and is rotatably disposed with respect to the body so that it can rotate between two positions. In a first position the clamp surface is perpendicular to the direction of movement of the slide clamp (14). In a second position it is parallel to that direction. In the second position, it opens a second aperture opposite the rotate clamp member and in which the slide clamp member can be inserted.

主权项

1. A docking station comprising a main body providing a generally flat base and against which base a mobile device is adapted to lie, in use, and two adjustable clamp members arranged to be capable of being moved towards and away from one another between open and closed positions so as to squeeze and release, from between the two adjustable clamp members, the mobile device to be docked in the station, wherein the clamp members are adapted to be positioned in one of at least two orientations with respect to the base, in a first orientation the clamp members moving between said open and closed positions in a first direction substantially parallel to said base and a second orientation wherein the clamp members move between said open and closed positions in a second direction substantially parallel to said base and substantially perpendicular to said first direction.
