Support and retention assembly for a portable electronic device, and dashboard provided with such a support and retention assembly

摘要

A support and retention assembly for a portable electronic device has a support member with a front surface which defines a rest surface. The support member is connected to a structure of a dashboard so as to able to be moved between a retracted position and an extended position, in which it is locked by means of releasable locking devices. The assembly is provided with a rest element which projects from the front surface at a lower end of the support member and a clamp which is arranged over the rest element and may rotate upwards about a horizontal axis starting from a stowed position, in which at least part of the clamp is housed in a seat made in the front surface.
